Cocoa Beach Mayor Ben Malik has a prediction for what traffic will be like Sunday afternoon in Brevard. "It will be super gnarly, and quite a &$^%show!" Call it the grand conjunction. The alignment of the planets. The perfect storm. Or any one of a dozen other cliches, but this Sunday afternoon, Brevard is going to experience chaos on local roadways. "Get to the beach and pick a spot super early and avoid A1A as much as possible," Malik said about traffic in his beachside city with thousands of visitors expected for multiple events through the weekend, but particularly on Sunday.
