• Upcoming Agenda – Town hall to discuss funding
sidewalks, bike paths, safety, new fire stations and an EMS
pilot program.

• Opposition to the over-development near the Dal Mar Hotel.
• Proposed Brightline commuter rail - The two proposals for
the commuter rail include (a) a tunnel and (b) a bridge.

effective, however the County Commission controls the
outcome. Commissioner Sturman favors the tunnel option
and a BDO study is forthcoming to address the viability of
both options.
