NICKLAUS GETS FUNDING: Florida is awarding $7.5 million to Nicklaus Children’s Hospital to develop and improve access to clinical trials, advance treatment protocols and discover cures for childhood cancer. The five-year funding comes from the new Cancer Connect Collaborative Research Incubator, which was funded with $30 million. Also receiving $7.5 million in the battle against childhood cancer are Johns Hopkins All Children’s Hospital in St. Petersburg, Nemour’s Children’s Hospital in Orlando and Wolfson Children’s Hospital in Jacksonville. While pediatric cancer totals just 1% of all cancer cases nationally, Florida accounts for 6% of all new pediatric cancer cases in the nation, said an announcement of the grants from the office of Gov. Ron DeSantis.

OJUS MOBILITY: The Ojus Urban Area District is targeted for a planning study to pinpoint improvements in multiple modes of transportation to support travel in the area. The Miami-Dade Transportation Planning Organization last week unanimously approved a request by board member Micky Steinberg asking Executive Director Aileen Bouclé to develop a scope of services and a budget to do the planning study. The Ojus district was adopted into the county zoning code in 2006. It’s bordered by the Oleta River on the west and south, US 1 on the east and Brightline Station on the north. The main transportation corridors in the district are Miami Gardens Drive and Harriet Tubman Highway (formerly West Dixie Highway).

Opinion | What’s cooking in rapid transit Smart Plan? Nobody knows

Ask people to list Miami’s biggest issues and they’ll rank mobility near the top. Then ask them the status of the plan that was sold to us nine years ago to add rapid transit. They won’t have a clue.

Maybe that’s because the people who are supposed to make that so-called Smart Plan reality don’t know either.

Cutting speed limits to 25 mph a $20 million choice

It’s indeed feasible to reduce speed limits to 25 miles per hour on all Miami-Dade County maintained roads and roads near parks, Mayor Daniella Levine Cava has told commissioners, but it would cost $20.2 million up front – money the county doesn’t have.

SMART LOBBYING: As Miami-Dade seeks funding to build out its Smart Program to add six rapid transit corridors in the county, the Transportation Planning Organization last week extended its contracts with lobbying firms working in Tallahassee and Washington to round up state and federal funds to build out the transportation additions. The organization’s board voted unanimously to add $106,250 for 17 more months of lobbying in Tallahassee by Becker & Poliakoff. In a separate vote, the organization’s board extended federal lobbying by LSN Partners through March 31, 2027, by adding $75,000 to its contract.
