VISIONING WORK TO CREATE A BETTER CALLE OCHO CORRIDOR
The PlusUrbia Team was humbled this morning when the City of Miami declared today PlusUrbia Design Day and honored our collaborative work with the Little Havana Community to create a better, safer, more prosperous Calle Ocho.
Thanks so much to Mayor Tomas P. Regalado, Commissioner Frank Carollo and Commissioner Francis Suarez for saying such kind words of praise on the dais about our pro bono designs, community forum and dedication to improving SW 7-8th avenues between SW 27 and Brickell avenues. Thanks to each of you for co-sponsoring our proclamation awarded during this morning's Miami City Commission meeting.
Thanks also to Commission Chair Wilfredo "Willy" Gort and Vice Chair Keon Hardemon for their continued leadership and for honoring our mutual commitment to a better Miami. Our gratitude also goes out to Commissioner Marc Sarnoff for his decade of leadership that included the enactment of the Wynwood Neighborhood Revitalization District.
We were honored that Commissioner-elect Ken Russell was in the Commission Chambers this morning, applauding our recognition with the rest of the audience. A special thanks to City Manager Daniel Alfonso, Planning and Zoning Director Francisco Garcia and the entire hardworking city administration for being present when we received our proclamation on the dais.
We continue to work with the community and FDOT to ensure that the Calle Ocho corridor is redesigned as a complete streets with calmed two-way traffic, wide sidewalks, safe crossings, transit lanes, bike lanes and prosperous merchants and cultural institutions.
