KENDALL CORRIDOR: The alternative recommended by the Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) for a corridor Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) was pushed back again this week in the Transportation Planning Organization. A resolution supporting the alternative and support for the department to proceed with the next step was deferred to as late as March 2022. “What FDOT is proposing to you today is not better transit, it’s not the transit that Kendall deserves, but most importantly, it’s not rapid transit,” said Kevin Amézaga, president and executive director of non-profit Miami Riders, at the Nov. 30 meeting. Miami Today previously reported that FDOT proposes a BRT corridor with non-exclusive lanes for the Smart Plan corridor. The department requested a deferral for the endorsement at a TPO meeting in October since staff had to brief elected officials in response to information requests over the corridor, Tish Burgher, District Six communications manager, told Miami Today by email. Non-profit Transit Alliance has also opposed the alternative. “What FDOT is proposing is not what people have been waiting for, it’s not what people have been paying for the past 20 years,” said member Derrick Holmes.

We need to build transit that makes sense. If we can’t even build dedicated lanes for bike and buses... idk how we are going to build a pneumatic tube with a tweet and no money...

Is everyone moving to Miami? Check out my latest blog post by following the | “As a city, we have dealt with large migrations in the past poorly, building massive suburban sprawl, without proper infrastructure, commercial zoning, or public transportation.

Blog Post (01/08): Is everyone moving to Miami, or is it just my Instagram feed?

"How do we reckon with these divergent ideas? On one hand, a mass migration to a young, globally-connected city on the verge of maturation; And on the other, an existentially threatened coastal metropolis, with trillions of dollars of real estate on the line, and a housing affordability crisis for those that already call Miami home."

It’s all over instagram, twitter, and even on CNBC, and it makes you think to yourself… is Miami having a moment, or is it just in my head? And more importantly, are we ready to handle …
