The yellow We Care Pedicabs are back in downtown SF
SIOUX FALLS, S.D. (KELO) —Whether it's a school bus or a taxi, people are used to getting around in yellow vehicles. But now, a way to get around in a yellow pedicab is back in downtown Sioux Falls for the summer. If you're in downtown Sioux Falls on the weekends, there's a good chance you might see a bright yellow pedicab driving people around. RJ Oladejo is one of the new operators of the We Care Pedicabs. He rides for a few different reasons. 1 'critically' injured, no arrests in early morning shooting 'Getting these calves right and these calves right and the quads right. And just meeting different people all around Sioux Falls, people that visit, and just having a good conversation and enjoying the birds and the breeze and stuff like that,' Oladejo said. It's the second season that Terry Liggins and his nonprofit Hurdle Life Coach Foundation have been operating the pedicabs. 'It took a while to get the locals on board with what was happening. But plenty of the people that were at hotels and visiting our downtown, they would recognize the cabs and get on there as well. And so it was a lot of fun, super dynamic and well received,' Liggins, said. Out of the over 200 rides given last year, 40 of them were for free. This gave Liggins a new idea for this year: to try to implement a voucher program, where people or businesses could sponsor rides. 'Sometimes we're down here somewhere and we're seeing our adults who are transient, moving between the library and the banquet or the Bishop Dudley, and they're carrying a lot of weight,' Liggins said. While you may be the ones riding in the cab, it affects much more than just you. Proceeds from the We Care Pedicabs goes to benefit the Hurdle Life Coach Foundation and all the people they work with. 'Helping people out, you put in something that's got a good initiative for the youth and people around the community. So I embraced it,' Oladejo said. The operators are usually involved with the foundation or just believe in its message. 'Ideally, what we want to do with our operators is created as a workforce development opportunity for the adults. We're supporting transition. And that's not the only person who can volunteer, because we have people that are just like cycle enthusiasts, people who just want to look for another creative way to get some physical exercise and do some cardio,' Liggins said. Helping people get places, both in life and in downtown Sioux Falls. The best way to catch a ride on the Pedicabs is to hail them when you see them.

Bay County OKs FDOT grant for road resurfacing and other improvements
BAY COUNTY, Fla. (WMBB) – Bay County Commissioners approved a $3.3 million 'Small Community Outreach Program' or SCOP grant. It will fully fund a resurfacing project of County Road 2321 from U.S. 231 to the Deer Point Lake Dam Bridge. The grant will also cover other improvements like turn lanes, guardrail installation, drainage upgrades and audible and vibratory treatments. The project is a part of a larger initiative to alleviate traffic and create safer roadways in the area. The Titus Road and Star Avenue roundabout is set to be advertised in the next week or so. Officials say there will be a lot of coordination to accomplish both. 'It will work with some other projects that we've got going on in that area that are going to help alleviate traffic flow. That area is growing. And so, with that, it allows us to be able to manage traffic flow, be able to improve the roadway as it currently exists, but also add some improvements to it with some separate projects that are going to be ongoing that allow flow of traffic,' Bay County District 4 Commissioner Doug Moore said. Commissioners voted to accept the DOT grant today for the resurfacing project. The money should arrive sometime after July. The county does not have to supply matching funds.
