Update on the virtual meeting held regarding the Ludlum Trail. Opportunities for input remain.

I attended the virtual meeting held Thursday evening, November 19, 2020. As I have stated, the virtual meetings are a boon, not a hindrance to public participation. Dragging people down to one physician location is so 2019.  Virtual meetings are a tool that I wish I had available prior to 2018.  Look to the numbers posted below. 421 people attended and participated - and everyone had a great view and could control the volume from where there were sitting.

Miami-Dade County is doing a great job promoting public participation through the virtual meetings.

Here is a short update:

 624 people registered for this virtual meeting
 421 actually attended (a number that would overwhelm most physician meeting locations)
 242 participated via smart phone poll
 209 individual questions proffered and the numbers continue to grow 
85% Responded that the plan is generally on the right track
13% Responded "Maybe" to the question as to 'is the plan generally on the right track?'

General information about the Ludlum Trail (from County website):

The purpose of the Ludlam Trail is to provide a new shared-use trail in Miami-Dade County that will include safe, dedicated, direct pathways for walking, running, and cycling; to encourage active lifestyles and the use of green, non-motorized modes of transportation; and to enhance overall connectivity and accessibility between schools, parks, transit stops and residences, workplaces and shopping.

The proposed project supports the vision to provide an interconnected trail system offering transportation alternatives and reducing traffic congestion for a livable, sustainable County. Ludlam Trail will be a vital component of a seamless network of future greenway trails and water trails connecting to the Metrorail Dadeland North Station to the south and to other planned trails including The Underline/East Coast Greenway, South Dade Trail, Snapper Creek Trail, East/West Trail and Merrick Trail. It will enhance mobility and strengthen connections to neighboring communities, providing increased opportunities for economic development.
