The document discusses the benefits of exercise for mental health. Regular physical activity can help reduce anxiety and depression and improve mood and cognitive function. Exercise causes chemical changes in the brain that may help protect against developing mental illness and improve symptoms for those who already suffer from conditions like anxiety and depression.

This document discusses connectivity and mobility projects in Sarasota, Florida. It promotes creating a "context sensitive system of complete streets" to improve safety and connectivity for driving, biking, and walking. It references Sarasota's official 2015 "Complete Streets" policy and advocates for high reward, low cost improvements to better connect areas within a half mile of roundabouts on 10th and 14th streets. The goal is to establish a "roundabout influence zone" with traffic calming measures to improve safety and mobility for all street users.
Urging the earliest application of proven low cost/high reward “best practice” for safer, comfortable, and efficient mobility for all users of Sarasota’s citywide street network.

This document discusses a planned reconfiguration of the University Parkway I-75 interchange in Manatee and Sarasota counties by the Florida Department of Transportation. Specifically, it notes that FDOT is considering a Diverging Diamond Interchange (DDI) design, which was presented to local committees. However, alternatives like roundabouts were not studied as required. The document raises questions about the DDI design related to costs, safety, evacuation capability, and the lack of experience with this design compared to roundabouts. It encourages considering these questions if the interchange comes up at an upcoming MPO meeting.
This document summarizes plans to widen approximately 3.5 miles of I-75 and 1 mile of University Parkway in Sarasota and Manatee counties. The project will add lanes and reconstruct the I-75/University Parkway interchange using a diverging diamond interchange configuration to relieve congestion through 2035. Interim improvements will add one lane to I-75 by 2025 while final construction is planned for 2016. Public involvement includes meetings and a project website.
state after state DOTS are applying the mulitmodal capacity of modern roundabouts, safer than signalized intersections and not subject power outages hindering area evacuation for hurricanes.

Roundabouts are the preferred safety alternative for a wide range of intersections. Studies show that roundabouts reduce crashes significantly, including fatal and injury crashes for single lane urban roundabouts. Roundabouts should be considered as an option for all proposed new intersections on Federally-funded highway projects, especially those with major road volumes less than 4,000 vehicles per day. Existing intersections that have been identified as needing major safety or operational improvements should also consider roundabouts.
