On April 1, 2010, Commissioner Abrams presided over the activation of a traffic signal at the intersection of Camino Real and Camino Del Mar Drive in Boca Raton.  The signal was installed after the tragic death of a local resident, Timothy Williams, who was struck by a vehicle at this intersection while riding his bicycle approximately one year ago.   Many family members, friends of the family and residents of the Wind Drift Community, where Mr. Williams lived, gathered at the site and applauded the signal’s activation.

“This tragic death prompted me to request a traffic study with the county’s engineering division.  Upon completion of the study, it was determined that this intersection met the requirements for the installation of the signal,” said Commissioner Abrams. 

“It is said that a tragedy is just a tragedy unless something good comes out of it,” he added.
