On behalf of the Miami River Commission, over 10,000 residents, businesses owners and employees along the Miami River, I thank you for preparing today's needed agenda item. The Miami River Commission's adopted 2001 Miami River Greenway Action Plan, 2002 Miami River Corridor Urban Infill Plan, and 2007 Miami River Corridor Multi -Modal Transportation Plan all recommend waterborne transportation. As the Miami River District's population, density, and attractions continue to grow, the desperate need for waterborne transportation is greater than ever. Waterborne transportation reduces vehicular congestion, gas consumption, and carbon emissions, therefore improving traffic and air quality. Please note this proposal remains consistent with the current strong Manatee Protection Plan. All vessels on the Miami River must abide by the idle no wake speed zone, and all the proposed public waterborne transportation locations to temporarily drop off and pick up passengers are located east of the NW 5 ST Bridge. Your time and continued strong support for the Miami River District are appreciated. • Horacio Stuart Aguirre Chairman, Miami River Commission Submitted into the public record for item(s) on S- 2. - ZOi .
