The city has allowed high-rise condos to be built
along Coral Way, Lejeune, Douglas, 27 Ave, Biscayne
Boulevard, .etc. -right up against our neighborhood
homes.
These corridors are already graded "F" by the Florida
Department of Transportation, because they are
traffic congested and over capacity. i
These corridofs should have a 35 foot height lirnit, to
protect Msani's greatest asset: our single-fanuly
neighborhoods. Quality of life for our citizens is.
more important than increased development.
Meanwhile, tl :e cit :lc :vntown Master: Plan says:
downtown is, o% rdeveloped. and has over ioo 1
years worth o . 'ev .�ment potential.
High-rises belong downtown, not nK : o our homes
BEFORE:
AFTER:
And yet 'Miami ? 1. proposes what you see above -allowing apartment buildings and townhouses to creep into our
,insole family and duplex neighborhoods, as if that will -buffer' the high rises and make things better. 'Don't be fooled
by the pretty palm trees - this would allow increased density within our neighborhoods. Where will it stop?
Two wrongs don't make a right!
We need LESS traffic on our streets and LESS overcrowding in our schools, NOT MORE.
The witY to correel this pr(�blem is to HEIGHT LIMIT the corridors to 3 stories (outside of dolrnlown),
as recommended below by the Miami -Dade County Planning Department:
In this preferred example, the ratio is slightly less than 1
to 3.. Human scale is achieved by a tight~ section,
including landscape, three-story buildings, and an
arcade and awnings which result in a comfortable space.
With the landscaped median, the scale is furtherreduced.
PROTECT OUR NEIGHBORHOODS'. Don't let Miami 21 hurt our neighborhoods even more!
Speak out at the Miami 21 meetings!
Let the mayor and commissioners know you want your neighborhood protected!
