The walk around Jimmie Weaver park is beautiful and many residents use it for pleasure walks as well as exercise. But with the hot summer months ahead, it would be nice to extend the hours past dusk and install some solar powered lighting along the path so that residents can enjoy the walks during the cooler evening hours as well. This would also improve the Relay for Life event so people can walk the lake where there is pavement instead of through the grass which is how the event is done now. Additional picnic benches on the back part (south side) of the lake would be a nice addition as well as more exercise stations around the rest of the lake.

Close down Barton Blvd and line the streets with Rockledge Business Booths that the kids can go trick or treating on during Halloween. The Rockledge Businesses can compete decorating their booth/table. Have costume contests, pumpkin decorating contest, etc. It gives the businesses opportunity to promote themselves to the community while giving the kids someplace safe to trick or treat where there is not traffic or crazy people trying to hurt kids. Businesses could include bounce houses and/or games for the kids and of course candy. "Nightmare on Barton Blvd" ,"Boo on Barton" are just some suggested names for the event. Shouldn't cost the city that much money since each business would be responsible for providing their own items.

Why not have our OWN Christmas Parade down Barton Blvd instead of a join parade with Cocoa? But in contrast to Cocoa, it should be a night parade with lights. Since Barton is the main road, it would also be nice to see all of Barton decorated for the holidays. Holding light decorating contest for the businesses on Barton would create a beautiful avenue for all of the residents to enjoy, visit and bring customers to those businesses. Maybe even close the road down one weekend in December like you do for the car show, simply for people to get out and walk the road to enjoy the lights with holiday music, local school chorus performances, caroling, gift wrapping, pictures with Santa, maybe craft fair for holiday shopping? Just a focus on the holiday season. People may travel for miles to see our "Main Street" Christmas display and put Rockledge on the map for holiday traditions. Could incorporate it with "light up Rockledge" and make it bigger, more attended (and sell more city ornaments).

Somehow we need to make our city more beautiful bu instilling values in the residents to leave only footprints where ever they go. Not only in our city but else where as well. Every where I go I see trash on the side of the roads, in our parks and in the medians. If we promote the "Leave Only Footprints" concept - maybe it will take hold. Thanks!

The lights in the middle of the median all seem to be working. Could someone check this out and get these light repaired. There are lots of residents that take the bus and they need to be safe while waiting for there ride.
