• Florida Black Bears Are Among Us!

  Yes, it’s true. You may see Florida black bears roaming the neighborhood, especially after dark or early in the morning. They are looking for food and love to explore garbage cans for anything they can find. Here are some tips:

  1. Keep garbage cans closed and stored until collection day. Put them out the morning of collection, which is Tuesdays in Brandywine.
  2. Don’t leave food out for pets, or leave bird feeders out overnight. Bears will find them!
  3. Don’t confront a bear if you see one. They aren’t especially aggressive, but let’s stay out of their way.
  4. Contact the FWC, Northeast Region, at 352-732-1225 if you see an aggressive bear.

• Attention Walkers and Cyclists and Drivers!
  

  Brandywine’s streets are popular with walkers and cyclists, and drivers should be cautious when approaching anyone walking or riding a bicycle.

  1. Drivers should maintain 3 feet of space between the vehicle and the pedestrian or walker.
  2. Walkers should walk FACING traffic (left side of the road) and in single file if a car approaches.
  3. Cyclists should ride WITH traffic (right side of road).
  4. Walkers and cyclists should wear BRIGHT colored clothing for better visibility.
  5. Drivers should be aware of children walking to bus stops, especially in the dark!
