Minseok,
ReplyDeleteI also used the blue light safety opportunity in my own. This is a big problem that must be addressed. I found it interesting that most problems, or "opportunities," are related to a lack of safety, especially in Alachua county. There are many approaches that can be made in order to increase the safety in Alachua county and UF itself.
