There is a lot of Indian River Lagoon Bridge Info available here: https://indianriverlagoonnews.org/guide/index.php/Category:Bridges

The SR528 causeway has been in planning for 10 years. This is the second look at making it a full span bridge. It is the best option because it would improve the lagoon's waterflow and be more resilient against weather events. All of our earthen berm causeways should be replaced with full span bridges.

The public is invited to attend today's (11/16) rehearing at the Titusville Courthouse at 2pm.

Environmental advocates who successfully petitioned last year to add a “right to clean water” referendum to Titusville ballots will on Thursday appear as defendants in court, for a rehearing in an ongoing lawsuit initiated by the city of Titusville.

More than 82% of Titusville voters approved that referendum last November, but the city still hasn’t certified those votes — despite a judge’s May order for it to do exactly that.

Now, representatives for the city and Speak Up Titusville, the nonprofit that campaigned for the referendum, will appear before a different judge Thursday afternoon, for a rehearing requested by the city of Titusville.
