City of Gainesville employee Frank DiMizio has no place to hide from the sun as he repairs a traffic signal along Palmour Drive this week.
This is the second in a series of stories about residents who work outdoors in the sun or indoors without air conditioners during the summer months. Up in the air on bucket trucks or down on the ground with saws, the City of Gainesville Traffic Operations division makes safety its priority. The crew ensures red lights, pedestrian poles and other traffic functions are performing properly to keep the public safe.
