Neighbors,
The community meeting to discuss the Lynx Lymmo project will be held on Thuesday 26 January 2012 (see attached public notice). The consultants will be presenting their preferred northern alignment at that meeting. Our neighborhood has been very much engaged in this urban planning effort and we have every reason to anticipate that our concerns and preferences will be reflected in the Consultant’s recommended alignment. This meeting will be our final chance to influence the future path of this transportation system which could be a huge benefit to our neighborhood. I hope that each of you will attend and that the Lake Formosa neighborhood will be well represented.

Notification of Peaceful Assembly on October 15
FR: The Downtown Development Board
Dear Downtown Orlando Residents and Merchants,
A group called Occupy Orlando has announced plans to peacefully assemble on Saturday, October 15th beginning at approximately 8:00 am in front of the Orlando Chamber of Commerce with plans to march through downtown, and ultimately occupy a downtown park or other public space.
The specific route for the march/walk appears at this time to be to the Orlando Chamber of commerce, then proceeding down Orange Avenue to the Bank of America building and finally ending at City Hall Plaza. Once there it is unknown how long the group intends to stay in the plaza.
While the City of Orlando is not associated with this event in any way, the Orlando Police Department will be present to ensure the safety of all protesters as well as those who live and work in downtown Orlando. The City of Orlando has communicated with the leaders of this loosely organized group in order to take steps to minimize traffic disruptions related to this event.
The Occupy Wall Street movement started in New York City and “Occupy” events like these have happened in dozens of cities across the country in recent weeks, from Los Angeles to Washington, D.C. The vast majority of these events have been conducted peacefully.
We support the right of Orlando’s residents to protest and exercise free speech rights, and encourage all who participate to do so peacefully and with respect to the rights of others.
Sincerely,
Buddy Dyer
Mayor
