South Dade Busway Update
We continue to question and
oppose the concept of building an above grade toll express lane over the
Busway along US 1. MDX continues to study this ill-conceived proposal, which
will not be completed until 2015, and the opposition through out South
Miami-Dade grows with each public presentation. The Village has recently
responded to a grant program, by the Metropolitan Planning Organization, and
applied for a grant to undertake additional studies for enhanced transit as
opposed to putting more cars on the road, all of which would dump back onto US 1
somewhere in Pinecrest. We are proposing the county study a light-rail
alternative or enhanced bus transit as a parallel proposed study to the express
lanes study. I have asked Miami-Dade Mayor Carlos Gimenez and our local county
commissioners (Moss, Bell and Suarez) to support our proposal. Please read this article from
the Miami Herald for more information.
You already know the answer Gene. She is hiding and will only come out if Irene tells her that it is good for her polticial future and she has a promise of photo time.
