Halloween Tales of Deadly Speed: The Real Horror on our Streets
As Halloween approaches, let’s consider a real danger haunting our streets: speeding. Nearly one-third of all traffic fatalities involve speeding, claiming about 10,000 lives yearly. On Halloween night, when pedestrian activity peaks, the risks are even higher. A car traveling at 20 mph can stop in time for a child crossing the road, while one at 40 mph could be fatal. This Halloween, remember that slowing down isn’t just about following rules—it’s about preserving the spirit of community and keeping our neighborhoods safe for all.
Our Community Helps Plan 8th Avenue’s Future
On October 15, 2024, Ingalls Park buzzed with excitement as Hallandale Beach residents gathered to discuss the future of 8th Avenue. From 2 to 4 PM, families, kids, and community members came together to share their visions for improving this vital street.
Fowl Play at 8th and SW 1st: Where Ducks Waddle Safely, But Humans Can’t
At the intersection of 8th Avenue and SW 1st Street, we’ve come across a quirky paradox: ducks have their own crossings, complete with signs, while pedestrians are left navigating a real-life game of Frogger. As we embark on the 8th Avenue Complete Streets Project, we’re focused on changing this fowl situation into one that’s fair for all—feathered friends and humans alike. It’s time for Hallandale Beach to get its ducks in a row and create a safer, more accessible street for everyone. Your ideas could be the golden egg we need to make this happen!
Transforming Hallandale Beach for a Safer, More Connected Community
Hallandale Beach residents, get ready for positive change! The 8th Avenue Complete Streets Project is now underway. DDEC and CTA are spearheading this initiative to revamp 8th Avenue into a modern urban corridor. The project starts with a site visit to observe how students use the street, ensuring the design meets our community’s needs.
