    Need for Deer-Warning Signs Along Additional Section of US-1 in the Florida Keys Rationale, Supporting Data, and Placement Location Suggestions

    Need for deer-warning signs along additional section of US-1 in the Florida Keys Rationale, supporting data, and placement location suggestions. Prepared by Save Our Key Deer, Inc. Contact: Valerie Preziosi – [email protected] 760-807-9064 Deer mortality data were obtained from USFWS Why are new signs needed? • Presently, signs on US-1 warning motorists of a possible collision with a Key Deer exist only on Big Pine Key. • Some of the signs incorrectly imply that there is no such collision danger west of Big Pine Key. • Key Deer inhabit several islands west of Big Pine Key where vehicle- deer collisions regularly occur but no warning signs exist. • The collisions cause damage to the endangered deer population, sometimes to the vehicle, and can lead to secondary collisions when unaware motorists swerve, trying to avoid the deer. Situation Background • While the largest population of Key Deer inhabits Big Pine Key, smaller sub-herds exist on several islands to the West. • The separate sub-herds are very important for lessening the Key Deer’s susceptibility to extinction. • In 2006 the sub-herds on Upper Sugarloaf and Cudjoe Keys were enhanced through deer translocation at considerable federal expense. • Expanding US-1 signage was included in the Key Deer Refuge’s Comprehensive Plan – but never followed through: Key Deer Vehicle collision deaths West of Big Pine Key May 2012 – July 2019 (no data available Oct. 2018 – May 2019) Collision hotspot areas have been identified Recommendations: 1) Add signs at the west boundary of Key Deer habitat (@ MM 16.5, Lower Sugarloaf Key, eastbound direction): “Drive with caution You are entering Key Deer habitat” Recommendations: 2) Install traditional diamond-shaped deer- warning signs at both ends of Lower Sugarloaf Key Upper Sugarloaf Key Cudjoe Key Summerland Key Ramrod Key Little Torch Key 3) Install additional flashing signs (as are now on BPK) at collision hotspot areas.

    $2 Florida Keys Sea Heritage Journal VOL. 20 NO. 2 WINTER 2009 USS SHARK OFFICIAL QUARTERLY PUBLICATION OF THE KEY WEST MARITIME HISTORICAL SOCIETY William Beverly Randolph Hackley I first read William Beverly Randolph Hackley’s diary about 25 years ago. Since then I have transcribed all of the Key West part of the diary, the only account of family life in Key West in the 1850s. During the research I have found information about him and his family and met a number of his descendants and found a photograph of one of his daughters Charlotte Hackley Spencer (Sea Heritage Journal, Spring 2009). Now thanks to Jane Jones we have this photograph of William Hackley. The diary was saved by Dr. R. L. “Lee” Goulding son of Harriet Hackley and Frank Ross Goulding, III. Harriet, one of William’s three daughters, was the 2nd wife of Frank. His first wife was her sister Sarah Hackley. To help understand the diary I have been gathering information about Hackley, his family and the people in his diary. William Beverly Randolph Hackley was born to Richard and Harriet Randolph Hackley on October 7, 1806 in Virginia. William Beverly Randolph Hackley. Photo credit: Jane Jones. Richard was a successful and well- traveled merchant, who resided at York. In 1806 he was appointed at that time. Richard had claims to various times in Fredericksburg, US Consul at St. Lucia, Spain, 12 million acres of uncultivated land Norfolk, Richmond, New York, and in 1807 he was appointed US near present day Tampa, Florida.

    Florida Keys Mile-Marker Guide

    Road Trip: Florida Keys Mile-Marker Guide Overseas Highway, mile by mile: Plan your Florida Keys itinerary The Overseas Highway through the Florida Keys is the ultimate road trip: Spectacular views and things to do, places to go and places to hide, hidden harbors and funky tiki bars. There are hundreds of places to pull over to fish or kayak or enjoy a cocktail at sunset. There are dozens of colorful coral reefs to snorkel or dive. Fresh seafood is a Florida Keys staple, offered at roadside fish shacks and upscale eateries. For many, the destination is Key West, at the end of the road, but you’ll find the true character of the Florida Keys before you get there. This mile-marker guide will help you discover new things to see and do in the Florida Keys. It’s a great tool for planning your Florida Keys driving itinerary. Card Sound Road 127.5 — Florida City – Junction with Fla. Turnpike and U.S. 1. 126.5 — Card Sound Road (CR-905) goes east to the Card Sound Bridge and northern Key Largo. If you’re not in a hurry, take the toll road ($1 toll). Card Sound Road traverses a wild area that once had a small community of Card Sound. All that’s left now is Alabama Jack’s, a funky outdoor restaurant and tiki bar known for its conch fritters and the line of motorcycles it attracts. (Don’t be afraid; it’s a family oriented place and great fun.) If you take Card Sound Road, you’ll pass a little-known park, Dagny Johnson Key Largo Hammock Botanical State Park, before coming to Key Largo itself.
