Osprey Pedestrian Signal to Be Removed Amid Petition
Osprey residents led by postmaster Gayle Stewart urge FDOT to keep the lone U.S. 41 crossing light after a study found low pedestrian use and the nearby school closed. County and FDOT officials cite criteria requiring 150 pedestrians per hour and school crossing status, while locals gather 800 signatures and seek traffic-trigger options.
