Outside the Beacham

I want to know why in the diabolical hell they decided to close down TWO whole lanes right by Universal. Intelligent thinking!!! “Let me close two lanes on a Friday while Horror Nights is happening”

Omg now I remember what this building reminds me of!

So I had guest speaker Chris Castro [the Director of Sustainability with the City of Orlando] speak at my Environmental Issues class today. Not sure if this is the best thread to place this so sorry in advance, but he spoke about a lot of general things, this is what I could get noted down: There are 1,500 people moving in a week; there are 1 resident to every 255 tourist each year City wants to go beyond and reduce 90% emissions by 2040 ---------- In Orlando, buildings contribute the most to emissions; transportation is only 25% of the overall, ironically. Orlando city has a ~$19 million power bill per year from OUC Projects Goal: they want 100% LED streetlights by 2020 OUC will retrofit 25,000 streetlight to LED; 18,000 have been converted to LED so as of current They are testing smart streetlights that detect various things, only one I could note was gunshot detection (!) New Horizon housing Project : Because of the solar panels on the roof, people who live there are saving $400-600 in utility bills per year Scooters (ala Lime Bikes) and the Virgin train are definetly coming soon (Dyer had reservations about scooters) They want to have 100 chargers, 200 ports for electric vehicles maybe in the next year or two Lymmo buses -all electric buses by 2020 [I may heard wrong but I believe they purchased 8 buses recently and want the whole fleet to run on battery/clean by 2025] The city enacted a mandatory recycling policy where ALL buildings must have recycling bins/program + There are 10+ recycle bins in Lake Eola right now They have a app called ORL Collect APP that tells you what types of specific items/trash are recyclable you can request a composter for FREE: cityoforlando.net/composter Thoughtful wishing: If they move the Executive airport to another place (such as Sandford) the city would want to make it the biggest public park in the country by sqf - bigger than Central Park in NYC but the contract wont end till 2065(I think) so it wont be achievable for now. He also commented about Vertical Medical City being now the tallest building going up, and that height restriction is in due to the airport being close. So taller buildings aren't coming soon

From Amelia Garage

off topic ;; when my bf moved to Altamonte Ive been forced to drive all the way there lol, and I never new red lobster nor EA were even anywhere close to Orlando or Altamonte but I agree with @DreS0803 that they should be more of a standout in the CV

Since hurricane Dorian knocked out a week of school I’ve only been to campus twice but it’s been pretty chill. I was surprised that for it to be the first week of school back in aug 28, it was pretty empty. I only attend On Wednesdays so i can’t tell for most days I believe it’s about 50/50 with everyone finding it a pro or a con to be in downtown, specially for teachers who are already based in the main campus (some only go one day a week to the downtown one for a specific class) while others have no office hours in DT bc they have no space or area to do so. I live 15-20 mins away of DT compared to the 40mins-1 hour drive I had to go to the main campus so I find it great for me as for the shuttles I’m not sure what the reception is yet but I haven’t heard anything bad or crazy for now. Construction noise is barely heard the times I’ve been there. Parking is pretty easy in the Amelia Parking Garage surprisingly There are some kids who are taking the sunrail to and from campus (I planned to, but haven’t yet) and the only thing I’ve overheard is some of the students visiting nearby cafes or restaurants in the CBD/ Eola area (no idea of specific places) I haven’t heard or read anything regard to perception of Parramore but I’m sure many people have had an input or concern over it; my mom certainly has LoL i will definitely do a full semester update in December

Bathroom doors have a sensor that opens themselves

I wouldn’t be far off to say that 3/4 of the people that go to the UCF main campus get there by car

Thursday Night

With what the article described to me, all I can think of is if Wawa and Five Below has a baby and we got DGX

Quick pass through Orange/Colonial

They don’t want lower middle class neighborhoods. I’m surprised Belle Isle is not part of the city since that’s want they rather have
