SOUTHWEST SEVENTH STREET ALSO MUST BE REDESIGNED FOR PEDESTRIANS
The Calle 8 corridor is an authentic destination.
It is not a series of traffic lights on a speedway for commuters.
Residents, merchants, artists, visitors of Little Havana should no longer have to leap out of the way of dangerous one-way highway-like traffic.
We deserve a Main Street/Complete Street.
It is unjust for the core city to subsidize sprawl with our main streets and neighborhoods scarred by "highway-ization."
We support Miami City Commissioner Francis Suarez's MPO resolution at today's (Nov. 19) meeting.
It's the first step in a long process to return safety and humanity to SW 8 & SW 7th streets after a half decade of highway hijacking.
A recent FDOT safety study shows that at least one pedestrian dies in an automobile collision on SW 8th Street -- between SW 27 and Brickell avenues each year.
These are our mothers, fathers, sons, daughters, aunts, uncles, wife, husbands, neighbors, friends, doctors, barbers, pastors, vets.
We must calm traffic. Now.
