BREVARD COUNTY, Fla. – Brevard County commissioners on Tuesday voted to advance with deregulating alcohol sales hours at bars and restaurants in unincorporated communities of the county. Commissioners supported author John Tobia, who called county restrictions preventing alcohol sales between 2 and 7 a.m., “pointless regulations.””This would increase the freedom of residents, visitors and business owners in Brevard County,” Tobia wrote in his proposal. “If bars are open longer, people will leave when they want to leave,” Smith said. Selling alcohol 24/7 would not apply to the county’s municipalities, like spring break hotspot Cocoa Beach. Tobia said commissioners must hold one more vote on the ordinance before it goes into effect.

Drivers will soon be able to hit the gas pedal a little more along a portion of State Road 408 in Orange County. During a meeting Thursday, Central Florida Expressway Authority board members voted unanimously to increase the speed limit from 55 to 60 mph along State Road 408, between Kirkman Road and Chickasaw Trail. Along 408 in Orange County, drivers go from a 65 mph speed limit to 55 in both directions. Engineers said State Road 408 is nearly 50 years old, and that increasing the speed limit even more would require costly construction and changes to the roadway. With the board’s approval of the speed limit change, 55 new signs will be created costing about $125,000.

Pritchard’s death was first announced earlier this week during a Brevard County Commissioners meeting by District 4 Commissioner Curt Smith, who remembered Pritchard as a “waterways activist.”“I have known Ron for 20 years or more. He was a force of civic pride and activism for Brevard County in general and specifically regarding water and boating issues,” Smith said. He served as vice chairman of the Commission in 2003 and chairman in 2004, according to the release.

SATELLITE BEACH, Fla. – After a 12-year-old girl was killed walking across A1A with her family, a Brevard County commissioner said he's moving forward with an idea to change the flashing lights at the crosswalk. A week later, Commissioner Curt Smith said he’s going to push for the flashing yellow lights to be replaced by red lights. The commissioner said he plans to present the idea to the county commission at their meeting on Tuesday, Jan. 7. “These flashing yellow lights -- most people, if you ask them, they don’t have any clue what they are,” Smith said. Smith said county-wide, five people have died in crosswalks like the ones Nelson died in.
