Highway Emergency Numbers: An urban legend has circulated for many years claiming that motorists can dial #77 or *77 to reach the police, or to determine if the unmarked police car behind them is real. #77 or *77 is not the universal number for the police. Either dial 911 or throughout Florida dial *FHP.

Although 911 has been designated as the "official" number for reporting emergencies, it's by no means universal, either for wired or wireless phones. There are still many counties in the U.S. that have no 911 service of any kind. There are also presumably many locations where 911 does not work for a wireless phone user because the wireless carrier hasn't enabled 911 in its routing equipment.

Does your company offer Summer employment for Key Biscayne teens? We are trying to compile a list for our next eGrapevine to help both the teenagers and the businesses.

Please be advised that the Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) Interstate-95 Signage Replacement Project will begin on Tuesday, June 1, the day after Memorial Day. This project was originally slated for April 26.
