APOPKA, Fla. — University of Central Florida graduate students are hoping their recommendations can reduce crashes and congestion in downtown Apopka. As a part of the Masters of Urban Planning at UCF, more than a dozen students studied downtown Apopka and the surrounding roads to figure out how to improve conditions for commuters, pedestrians and cyclists. 'We know here on this 8 block stretch of Highway 441 that over 23 people have been killed in the last 5 to 6 years, and that's not acceptable,' said Logan Lamphere, one of the UCF graduate students.
