I still disagree with the managers decision to not allow comments on posts put out by the town. It’s another way to get input from the community who might not show up for a meeting. But you can comment here and It’s great that they are looking to put in a playground for disabled children.

Join us to learn about the proposed installation of an inclusive playground at Saga Bay Park and share your feedback.

Mayor Cavas commitment to the environment isn’t as important as her commitment to developers. She has put a last minute addition to the budget that attempts to “strip Miami-Dade County’s environmental watchdog agency of its permitting authority”.

“Environmentalists say they weren’t surprised by the county’s attempt at a makeover given the persistent complaints from developers.”

A proposal included in the county's $12.9 billion budget would strip the Division of Environmental Resources Management of its permitting authority even as it re-establishes DERM as an independent department.

Do you think the millions of dollars they have spent on the already existing busway will improve transportation along US-1 ?

Metro Express, our new Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) system, is almost here!

What’s BRT? It’s bus service that runs in its own lane and gets priority during rush hour—making your ride easier, more reliable, and sustainable. 🚍⚡

Stretching 20 miles along US-1 down to Florida City, Metro Express will also be one of the nation’s longest all-electric bus corridors.
