City Manager David Birchim said feedback will be consolidated into a report for the city commission—ideas include a shuttle-only lane on San Marco and reserved neighborhood parking—and a follow-up meeting for stakeholders is scheduled for Tuesday, June 10 from 5 p.m. to 7 p.m.
Florida's hurricane readiness is in jeopardy as state lawmakers have not agreed on the sales tax holiday for storm supplies and federal cuts have reduced staff at key weather agencies—raising concerns about the state's capacity to respond this hurricane season.
