NBC 6 Investigators - Here’s some of what the original Peoples’ Transportation Plan was supposed to fund, and the progress 15 years later:
In my opinion: A classic chicken or the egg argument. Did we miss the mark on the promises (and redirect spending) due to failure to receive he anticipated Federal dollars or are the Feds withholding the dollars (albeit there are less dollars more than in years past) because of the way the PTP monies were redirected?

Here’s some of what the original Peoples’ Transportation Plan was supposed to fund, and the progress 15 years later:
• 89 more miles of Metrorail -- instead, there are four additional miles
• 1,191 buses -- currently 815
• 70 percent increase in transit service miles – there’s been a 7-percent increase
• 17-mile elevated line roughly parallel to the Dolphin Expressway – never begun

About $1 billion of the money intended to fund the projects has instead
been diverted to pay operations and maintenance costs for projects not
covered by the PTP.
"This is the greatest story of mismanagement of a special tax in the history of this county certainly," county commissioner Xavier Suarez told the NBC 6 Investigators.

2016 Ride of Silence May 18, 2016, Key Biscayne, Florida
It was my honor - and responsibility to participate in the 2016 Ride of Silence held on Key Biscayne.
This is a local event of a worldwide movement designed to raise awareness of cycling deaths, injuries and remembering those no longer with us, killed while riding. I was inspired by Maribel Reyes (who lost her husband one year earlier near the starting point) & the bike community leaders that I'm proud to call my friends. I join the, in hoping there are no new reasons to do a Ride of Silence. Thank you to all the organizers and sponsors who worked hard to make this event possible.
See NCB6 report - Ride of Silence Held in Key Biscayne, Stephanie Bertini reports
I am in a unique position on this issue, however, and ask my fellow council members to work with me to move bike safety off the planning stage and onto the implementation stage. Bikes are a fact of life on our road. They need room to be safe. Drivers need room to pass them safely as well as to operate their vehicles. See the 2006 law (as contained in a 2015 amendment) - The driver of a vehicle overtaking a bicycle or other nonmotorized vehicle must pass the bicycle or other nonmotorized vehicle at a safe distance of not less than 3 feet between the vehicle and the bicycle or other nonmotorized vehicle.

Don’t drivers want,
require, more room along our roads to operate?
It is time to focus
on an issue long overdue for completion – the bicycle lanes in Palmetto Bay.
I am working with neighboring
municipalities and Daniella Levine Cava, our County Commissioner, but it requires
the support of a majority of our own village council to make it a reality.
Palmetto Bay
is a municipal partner of Miami-Dade County Bike305,
and this will continue under my leadership. I will continue to support and work
with groups such as the Green Mobility Network.
Let's all continue to work together and make biking even more accessible, more fun and most of all, safer for all involved.
