The City of Miami, Department of Parks and Recreation has co -sponsored
this event annually since its inception in 1979. A tenDorary pedes-
trian mall will be established by closing said streets below, subject
to the issuance of permits by the Police and Fire Departments:
McFarlane Road from Main Highway to S.W. 27th Avenue,
including all intersections.
Last year (1983) the Fifth Annual Coconut Grove Bed Race provided a
wholesome recreational activity for an estimated 25,000 people while
assisting in raising forty five thousand dollars ($45,000) to fight
Muscular Dystrophy.
It is also recommended that a temporary one day concession agreement
be authorized between the City and the Muscular Dystrophy Association,
for vending, as assigned by the M.D.A., and approved by the City,
with all proceeds to be donated to the Association. Vending areas
shall include the perimeters of the closed streets and Peacock and
Myers Parks.
We believe that the Bed Race is a worthwhile cause for the community
and recommend continued support of this public health organization _
which fosters research and promotes higher standards -of health among
our citizens.
