Re: Recommendation for Approval of June 9, 2005 Agenda Item
SR. 3
Dear Chan ttian Sanchez:
This letter serves as the Miami River Commission's (MRC) "official
statement" to all City Commissioners, requested in City Resolution 00-
320, regarding June 9, 2005 City Commission agenda item SR.2, which
impacts the Miami River.
The Miami River Commission (MRC) respectfully recommends
acceptance of the Florida Department of Transportation $1,000,000
"East Little Havana Greenway" and $1,000,000 for the "Miami
Riverwalk Extension: Flagler Street Bridge Area" grants. The
$2,000,000 in FDOT grant awards are for Greenway construction
consistent with the Miami River Greenway Action Plan and the Miami
River Corridor Urban Infill Plan. The MRC commends the City of
Miami, Trust for Public and FDOT for partnering on bringing these
sections of the Miami River Greenway to fruition.
The MRC is proud to have authored the awarded "East Little Havana"
grant application in 2002 on behalf of the City of Miami, which
resulted in the $1,000,000 FDOT grant. On behalf of the MRC, I
extend our sincere gratitude to the City of Miami for providing MRC
staff this opportunity, and we look forward to continue working in
partnership to significantly improve the Miami River corridor.
