The purpose of this meeting is a discussion of the proposed US1 Express Toll Lane Project. This project will profoundly impact the US1 traffic and our neighborhoods. You should be aware of what is going on in advance and not wait for the plan to become a 'done deal' before you decide whether this project benefits or harms our communities.
See the Miami Herald article, Meeting to discuss toll road next to U.S. 1 in South Dade, by Ashley Lopez, for more information. "... (R)ight now, only a few people even know there are plans for projects on the Busway, which is a two-lane highway that only buses can use." “I want to start a dialogue,” Lerner said. “The general public is completely unaware of what’s being prepared.”
Who is involved? Chambersouth, EDC, Pinecrest, and Cutler Bay is engaged and participating, but sadly, Palmetto Bay is not. I recommend that Palmetto Bay residents pay attention to the progress of this plan. Palmetto Bay councilman Howard Tendrich had been championing this issue for Palmetto Bay residents.
