And Partnered With • City of Miami Mayor's office and staff • City of Miami Commissioner's office and staff • City of Miami Planning Department • Miami Dade County DERM • Miami Dade County Public Works Department • Miami Dade County Transportation • Dade County Commissioner Gimenez's Office Why are we here? • In Oct 2009 City Commission voted to delay the approval of the Virginia Key Master Plan to allow for additional community input. • After numerous public meetings (three workshops) and at least a dozen working sessions - as well as consultation and collaboration with Planning Staff and government representatives, we're here to present the consensus plan. Yet we face a unique challenge to bring nature and the city together on this island. at We have built consensus for a better plan for Virginia Key, showing the value of a more coherent public process that has included the hard work of many people in this room - both public officials and concerned residents. We thank you. Enduring Themes and Features of Va Key • Education and research related to the natural world • Recreation and leisure spaces in the water and on land • Historical interpretation of the island and preservation of key sites: VK Beach, Marine Stadium, natural areas • Preservation and enhancement of nature WHAT IS UNIQUE ABOUT ITS SETTING?
