    Reading Time:about 16 minutes

    The Coast Guard has proposed a new rule to improve the schedule for operating the Florida East Coast Railroad Bridge over the Okeechobee Waterway in Stuart, FL. The proposed changes aim to make the bridge operation more predictable and reliable due to increased railway activity. The new schedule would ensure the bridge remains open for navigation except when allowing trains to pass, with fixed 10-minute opening periods each hour. The proposal seeks public comments, highlighting the importance of public participation in shaping the final decision.

    Simple Explanation

    The Coast Guard wants to change how often a big bridge in Florida opens and closes because more trains are coming by. They want to hear what people think so they can make sure it's a good plan for everyone.
