FIGHTING FOR PARK LAND IN DISTRICT 4, FIGHTING TO PRESERVE MELREESE PARK


MIAMI CITY COMMISSIONER MANOLO REYES: 
THANK YOU FROM THE BOTTOM OF OUR HEARTS


Roughly a decade ago, historic 2-acre Bryan Park was subject to a plan that would have paved it over for an out-of-scale tennis center. Noise would have ruined livability. Homes would be flooded by lost permeable surface. A compromise protected the green space.


A Herald story listed Bryan Park "improvements" and we feared this meant development on the green space. Commissioner Reyes' staff assured that the fixes are ADA enhancements to the accessible to all playground on the developed half of the park. Thank you sir.

High praise for Commissioner Manolo Reyes and his chief of staff Esteban (Steven) Ferreiro. Within 15 minutes of my sending an email to my District 4 Commissioner, I was called back with full details of a worthwhile capital improvement coming to Bryan Park

Reyes continues to be a champion for green space, being 1 of the 2 NO votes against the giveaway of precious Melreese Park to billionaire investors. May he block the 4/5ths vote needed to approve sweetheart deal that would pave over the people's land for profit.

Manolo Reyes, an elected official who listens to people and cares about them.
