Great article by OBJ here. Orlando metro area is seeing major growth in air travel and traffic. Instead of expanding the MCO heat island with 8,000 new parking spaces, we should find ways to quickly move buses and trains through the airport and take tourists off the roads.

OBJ: Orlando International Airport adds $1.6B in projects to capital improvement program
By: Patricia Tolley – Staff Writer, Orlando Business Journal

"Here's a look at some of the new additions making up part of the $1.6 billion capital improvement projects, according to Brown's presentation to the authority:

• An increased budget for the previously announced plan to add seven new gates to Terminal A ($308 million)
• Replacing the roofs of buildings at Terminal A and B ($215 million)
• Relocating taxiways along with designing and building new ones ($404 million)
• Reconstructing the ramps at Terminal A and B ($165 million)
• Enhancing ground transportation facilities such as parking lots and pedestrian bridges ($75 million)

The presentation notes that about $500 million is being invested toward other projects at the airport, such as improving security detection systems and building a new fiber system network.

[...]

Meanwhile, the airport has continued to see a rise in traffic, according to the latest report from MCO.

The most recent data shows in the 12-month period that ended in July, about 58 million passengers traveled through the airport, a 2.6% increase when compared to the same period last year."

🚛 New Smyrna Beach continues to make progress toward its transition from Waste Pro to FCC Environmental Services, which will begin providing residential and commercial solid waste services on Oct. 1.

City staff met with FCC representatives this week to review transition efforts and confirm readiness. FCC is now fully staffed, with new drivers actively training and management personnel in place to support local operations.

Residents may begin seeing FCC vehicles throughout the city next week as drivers conduct practice runs to familiarize themselves with collection routes before service officially begins. Thirteen of the 17 collection vehicles assigned to New Smyrna Beach are already onsite, and the remaining trucks are expected to arrive soon.

FCC is also completing delivery of residential totes, with the remaining shipments scheduled to arrive over the next week. Delivery of new commercial front-load containers is underway, with most of the city's 533 commercial containers expected to be delivered next week.

To help ensure a smooth startup, FCC has committed additional drivers, trucks, and management personnel during the first several weeks of service. The city will also gain access to enhanced fleet monitoring technology, including vehicle GPS tracking and collection verification systems, providing greater operational visibility and accountability.

As the transition approaches, the city continues to receive a high volume of calls from residents seeking information about the new service. Common questions involve requests for smaller carts or additional carts. To date, approximately 147 residents have requested smaller containers, representing a relatively small percentage of all customers.

FCC recently mailed informational flyers to commercial customers and encourages them to review the materials for service details and answers to frequently asked questions.

We appreciate residents' patience during this transition and look forward to working with FCC Environmental Services to provide reliable, responsive solid waste service beginning Oct. 1.
