PINE HILLS, Fla. – On Friday, we visited the Pine Hills community to address an issue that continues to impact our residents: pedestrian safety.
With Central Florida often ranked among the top regions in the nation for vehicle-versus-pedestrian crashes, the need for change is pressing. Pine Hills has particularly seen persistent rates of these crashes, underscoring the urgency for community action and education.
