• HCSO High Visibility Enforcement Program Underway (teamhcso.com) — Extra sheriff's deputies will be patrolling Bloomingdale Avenue and other nearby corridors through May 2027 to crack down on unsafe driving, walking, and biking behaviors that cause serious crashes. Expect more enforcement around crosswalks, speeding, phone use, and nighttime biking without lights, as Hillsborough County targets high-crash areas to improve safety for Bloomingdale-area residents.
