Transportation Town Hall meeting set for Wed., May 3

Government Friday, April 28, 2017

Miami Lakes Public Safety and Neighborhood Improvement Committees will host a Community Meeting on Transportation Improvements at 6:30 p.m. on Wednesday, May 3, in Council Chambers at Town Hall, 6601 Main Street. 

The meeting will include a recap of the Town’s Transportation Summit, a report on the Transportation Initiatives that have been identified, and provide tips on how residents can do their part to alleviate traffic congestion.

An initiative of Vice Mayor Tony Lama and Councilmember Nelson Rodriguez, the Transportation Summit was held in order to bring together the relevant stakeholders and experts of all agencies responsible for transportation to focus intensely on specific problems, while ensuring that all agencies’ actions are strategically coordinated to achieve optimal solutions. 

Based on the ideas generated at the Summit, a list of strategies recommended for the Town to pursue was incorporated into the Town’s Strategic Plan, and Town staff was authorized to pursue the presented ideas with responsible outside agencies, as well as seek grant opportunities and legislative appropriations to implement these strategies.
