I am proposing a Public Transportation and Traffic Summit with our neighboring cities and communities.

As you may be aware the County has proposed six major public transit routes known as the SMART Plan that does not include Northwest Dade. More specifically Miami Lakes, Palm Springs North area, Hialeah Gardens, Northwest Hialeah area, Doral, Miami Springs, Virginia Gardens, Medley, and Miami-Dade School Board.

The only north corridor in the SMART Plan is along 27th Ave to the county line. At this time we do not have a seat on the TPO/MPO board.

This a joint venture with the Economic Development Committee due to the impact traffic has had on our local businesses and attracting new businesses.

History:
Several years ago former Vice Mayor Lama and I held a Traffic Summit with state and local traffic agencies. As a result the Town developed a new traffic strategic plan for Miami Lakes.

Fiscal Impact: TBD
