Hurricane Prep Rally Summer construction New traffic signal in the works
BY CHRIS BONANNO A new traffic signal is set to be installed in front of Viera Middle School on Stadium Parkway at the intersection with Veterans Way. “The county requires it to be up and blacked out for a few weeks so people know that it’s coming up and then it’ll be operational for the beginning of the (school year),” said David Lindemann, the director of planning and project management with Brevard
Public Schools. “August 1, we’re shooting for.” Teachers are slated to return to school to begin preparing for the 2025-2026 school year on Aug. 1, according to the BPS district calendar. Students will have their first day of school on Aug. 11. “Ideally, it would have been up for last school year but with all of the permitting process.
