These way-finding signs are stamped right into the sidewalk are found in Tampa's Curtis Hixon Park. With all the tourist that visit Orlando it'd be great to see are sidewalks get the same treatment. There could even be a few sponsored ones to help pay for it. Downtown Orlando's could include things like the Amway Center, Lake Eola Park, the History Center, DPAC, the downtown library, Lymmo and SunRail.

The names of streets found in the crosswalks in Orlando is a great start but these way-finding signs would be even more beneficial to visitors.

As important as cyclist safety is, this month's Collide*scope tackled an even more intractable issue: homelessness. Orlando's population lacking permanent housing varies depending on who's counting. According to statistics shared during the presentation, the Department of Housing and Urban Development calculates 2,800 people go homeless in Orange County nightly; using the Department of Education's metrics, that number jumps to 6,000. Either way, it's a staggering figure that grows each year, making the Orange County Jail by default our largest homeless shelter and mental facility.
