Norman Foster to design Queen Elizabeth II memorial

Renowned UK architect Norman Foster has won a competition to design Britain's national memorial to the late Queen Elizabeth II. Famed for designs that have fused technology and nature and transformed modern cityscapes, Foster, 90, said the opportunity was an "honour and a privilege". The memorial will include a statue of the queen, a keen horsewoman, on horseback and another of her arm in arm with her late husband Prince Philip. Elizabeth, Britain's longest serving monarch, died in September 2022 aged 96 after more than 70 years on the throne. She was was succeeded by her eldest son, who became King Charles III. The memorial in St James's Park next to Buckingham Palace will also include a glass bridge inspired by the queen's wedding tiara. "At the heart of our masterplan is a translucent bridge symbolic of her majesty as a unifying force, bringing together nations, countries, the Commonwealth, charities and the armed forces," Foster said in a statement. Foster has been shaping urban landscapes since the 1960s and won the Pritzker Prize, the equivalent of the Nobel Prize in architecture, in 1999. His statement projects include Apple's giant ring-shaped headquarters in California, London's Wembley Stadium and Millennium Bridge, and Berlin's Reichstag. Foster was personally appointed to the Order of Merit by the Queen in 1997, an elite group of no more than 24 people honoured for their contribution to the arts, learning, literature and science. The final plans for the memorial will be unveiled next year. har/ach

Polk County takes data-driven approach to save more pedestrian, cyclist lives

The Brief According to the FDOT, Polk County ranks 21 out of the state's top 25 deadliest counties for pedestrians. The Best Foot Forward program focuses on educating drivers to stop for pedestrians at crosswalks. FDOT is funding the program that has a goal of spreading into the Tampa and Jacksonville markets. BARTOW, Fla. - Polk County is trying to become a safer place for pedestrians and bicyclists. By the numbers According to the Florida Department of Transportation, Polk County ranks 21 out of the state's top 25 deadliest counties for pedestrians. 26 pedestrians and cyclists were killed last year. What we know Bike Walk Central Florida, based in Orlando, is launching its safety program in Polk County — the first county in the Tampa Bay area market to participate. The Best Foot Forward program focuses on educating drivers to stop for pedestrians at crosswalks identified by local and county officials. The program works with law enforcement to issue warnings or citations and holds educational sign-waving events. READ:'We're not California': Florida officials pledge crackdown on doxing threats "What's really exciting about it is the stats or what they refer to as the 'driver yield rate' at pedestrian crossings. It improves significantly after they've given some of the intersections attention," said Ryan Kordek, the Executive Director of Polk TPO. 'When we launched in Orlando and Orange County in 2012, the crosswalks we were taking data at, the average driver yield rate was only 17% of drivers yielding to pedestrians," said Vince Dyer, Manager of the Best Foot Forward Program. "We've been steadily recording improvement since then. Today it's near 50% of drivers yielding to pedestrians in the same metro area." Dyer says the number of deaths and serious injuries have also gone down. The program has already begun studying crosswalks near schools and parks in Lakeland, Winter Haven and Bartow. Each crosswalk is evaluated for at least a year. "We recommend low-cost solutions, things like better striping and signage, the tubular markers, the delineators, things like that," said Dyer. "We can track those and show they have a positive effect." What's next FDOT is funding the program that has a goal of spreading into the Tampa and Jacksonville markets.
