Osceola County Vision Zero Action Plan is an initiative aimed at enhancing road safety.  There are three open houses that gives the community a chance to participate.  There will be one Thursday, May 23, from 5-7 p.m. at the Valencia College Poinciana Campus.  This open house is a chance to develop strategies to eliminate traffic fatalities and serious injuries.  Potential improvements along roadways that include Doverplum Avenue from Country Club Road to KOA Street, KOA from Marigold Avenue to San Remo Road, Pleasant Hill Road from Old Pleasant Hill to Spinning Reel Lane/Wilderness Trail, Poinciana Boulevard from Eagles Trail to Woodmont Boulevard/Red Blossom Lane and Pleasant Hill from Eagle Rock Lane to Knowles Boulevard.

If you are unable to attend or miss it, go to the Vision Zero Central Florida website at www.VisionZerocfl.gov.

And speaking of signs on the roads, have you noticed the first Village sign?  The first Village Recognition Sign, on the corner of Marigold Avenue and KOA Street in Village 2, is the Estates of Deerwood Village.  This project was initiated after the iconic “Welcome to Poinciana” sign was removed.  Coming soon will be signs in each of the villages: Reedy Creek Village (Village 1); Cypress Village (3); Pinewood Village (5); London Creek Village (6); Lake Marion Village (7); Timber Lake Village (8) and Broadmoor Village (9).  Be on the lookout for these signs.
