As you may recall, I have been a proponent of the closure of
Abaco Avenue. I made a personal appearance before the City
Commission at the June 25, 1987 meeting requesting the Commission
to instruct the City staff to close Abaco Avenue. At the meeting,
the Commission voted unanimously to close the street.
As you also will recall, Assistant City Manager Walter Pierce,
spoke in opposition to the closure of Abaco Avenue because the City
has recently contracted for a traffic study of all of Coconut
Grove. As I discussed at the June meeting, the concept of closing
Abaco Avenue originated in 1982, when the SPI-12 District was
created on Abaco Avenue. A large office building has been
constructed in the SPI-12 District, the parking lot of which exits
onto Abaco Avenue. Therefore, the residents of Abaco Avenue have
waited five years for action to address the creation of the SPI-12
District and should not be required to wait any longer.
This matter comes before the City Commission as a Public
Hearing tomorrow, July 23, 1987. Unfortunately, I will not be able
to attend the meeting because of a prior business commitment out of
town. Therefore, I would appreciate your accepting this letter in
lieu of my appearance before the Commission and petition for your
approval of the street closure. Should the Commission require
additional information before rendering its final decision, I would
ask that the Commission continue this matter until the next
scheduled Commission meeting in September, before which I will
gather the necessary information and present it to the Commission
in person.
Thank you in advance for your courtesy and consideration.
