BETTER
ALTERNATIVES THAN EXTENDING SR 836
The
PlusUrbia team supports smart growth, walkability, complete streets and Transit
Oriented Development as solutions to our region’s traffic congestion.
We applaud
the leadership of Miami-Dade County trying to resolve traffic issues.
The SMART
Plan is an excellent step in the direction of giving people mobility options
beyond the automobile.
That is why
we continue to seek alternatives to the planned southward expansion of 836 over
environmentally-sensitive land.
We respectfully believe, and many studies
prove, that adding more lanes does not solve traffic congestion.
We commit to
working with Miami-Dade and regional officials to give residents the benefit of
different approaches to mobility.
We will continue to collaborate with expert
partners to explore multimodal solutions to traffic congestion that is
negatively impacting our quality of life.
