Re: Letter of Support for renaming Bicentennial Park, or Museum Park,
the "Maurice A. Ferre Park" (Proposed City Ordinance SR.1)
Dear Members of the City of Miami Commission:
I write this letter in strong support of proposed City Ordinance SR.1 on tomorrow's Commission
agenda, which would rename Bicentennial/Museum Park the "Maurice A. Ferre Park."
Mayor Ferrel has served our community with distinction and selflessness for more than 50 years.
His contributions as an elected official, and a private citizen, have shaped the Miami -Dade County
we live in and serve today.
In addition to representing the people of Miami -Dade County as a State Representative, City of
Miami Mayor, County Commissioner, and Chair and Board Member of the Miami -Dade
Expressway Authority, Mayor Ferre remains actively involved in our community. He is an
exemplary public servant and I can think of no one more deserving of this honor.
In recognition of the indelible mark Mayor Ferre has made on our community -- including the
development of the Brickell area into an international banking and financial district, and the
redevelopment of the downtown waterfront area for our residents' and visitors' enjoyment -- I
respectfully urge you to adopt the ordinance that would rename Bicentennial/Museum Park after
one of Miami -Dade County's greatest visionaries.
