FDOT Construction Projects

At our February meeting, we heard

from the FDOT on two road projects

that will affect Edgewood. They are

finishing up the first construction

project on SW 4th Avenue -- changing

the width of the lanes, as well as

adding bike lines.

The second project is on SR 84 and

SW 15th Avenue, which began with

many of the trees being removed in

preparation for construction at this

intersection. The construction project

is expected to begin this Spring and be

completed in the Fall. The project

includes building a new dedicated U-

turn lane for eastbound SR 84 traffic at

Edgewood Yard Sale on March 11, 2017, 8:30 - 3:00

pm

St. Jerome’s Church grounds

Now is the time to begin your spring-cleaning of your

home and garage! The Edgewood Civic Association

is having their very first community yard sale being

held at St. Jerome’s Church. The cost to rent a space

is $10.00 ($5.00 extra to use one of our tables). We

will be having a space with a volunteer to help sell

any items residents want to donate for us to sell. The

money from whatever items are sold in the donation

space, will go back to ECA to be used towards our

new roof fund. Contact Ernestine Scharf (send email

to yardsale@edgewoodcivic.org or call 954-816-

3004) for more information or to reserve a space or

table.

Neighborhood Support Night — 2017

This City of Fort Lauderdale Event was held on February

8, 2017 at the parking garage area just outside of City

Hall. It was well attended and had great giveaways for

residents. Edgewood participated by volunteering for sus-

tainability in passing out Florida Friendly trees and earn-

ing Green Your Routine points that equal money back for

our association at the end of the year. People who came

out met Stanley C Panther, fire-fighters, policemen and

were able to pet the horses from the city’s Mounted Patrol

Unit. Many local businesses were there and provided free

hotdogs, water, popcorn, cupcakes, ice cream and much

more! The atmosphere was fun, high energy, filled with

jazzy music, interactive displays and a ton of neighborly

fun.

Police Report from the ECA Meeting on February 1,

2017

Thers were the following stats on burglaries: January

2017: 1 residential, 2 business, 2 auto, 2 robbery, and

1 recovered vehicle. December 2016: 1 residential, 1

business, 6 auto, 1 robbery, and 2 stolen vehicles. He

said our stats are better than most neighborhoods. He

also commended us on attendance to our neighbor-

hood association meetings, stating that some only

have the president and the police officer in attend-

ance. They have identified 7-11 as a hot spot and are

trying to get canine units to do random sweeps to

clean up the neighborhood. As always, he advised

people to be diligent, don’t leave valuables in plain

sight within your car, and lock your doors all the

time. If possible, install cameras and alarms on your

homes.
