I have property on South Boyd street. I will sometimes walk along South Boyd and I'm stunned by how beautiful Plant street is and then as soon as you walk down South Boyd you have to switch back and forth across the street to navigate the sidewalks. I also feel like the city is missing out on a consistent and historic street light package. Plant street lights are beautiful. South Boyd street lights are minimal and most are the standard versions you find in industrial parks.
Winter Garden is beautiful. I'm really happy that I own property downtown. I'm just pointing out that the thoughtfulness of Plant street with wonderful sidewalks and beautiful lamp posts should be extended to all residential areas.

I was in Seattle this summer for a week. I noticed these bikes painted lime green. I eventually took a closer look and learned that I just needed to download the Lime Bike Rental app on my phone and I could use the bikes to move around town.
Lime bike has an operation in Orlando.

I think it would be great for residents and visitors to downtown Winter Garden if they could easily rent and move around the downtown core with a Lime bike.
If the city wanted to do this, it's most likely a call or twitter DM to the people at Lime to start the process. I suspect this is ZERO cost to the city.

There is a program that was implemented in the Faroe Islands that I think may work well in Winter Garden. The Faroe Islands is a country that is not much bigger than Winter Garden. The idea is called Act Belong Commit. They saw the Act Belong Commit program as a great opportunity to reach their whole population with a new and positive focus on mental health. The program started in Australia, and they are continuing it in the Faroe Islands. Follow the link to get an idea of what I am talking about.

I have relatives in the Faroes that may be able to direct Winter Garden to useful information.

This site is really awesome. I wish the city operated an official Twitter and Facebook page for even more serendipitous communication with the city.
