EXIT THE MIDDLEMAN: The Florida Department of Transportation has asked Miami-Dade County commissioners to step out of the middle of grant proceedings and let the county’s airports seek, receive and spend federal and state grants without requiring commission approval each step of the way. Those grant activities appear regularly on agendas for commissioners to approve, which they generally do unanimously without discussion. But that delays the flow of grant funds that subsidize many airport projects, the state says. Instead, the state is asking the county to let the airports do what PortMiami already does: handle the grants internally and report to commissioners what is going on. A commission committee is to discuss the procedural change this week, along with added airport reporting requirements to keep commissioners in the loop. #FYIMiami #MiamiTodayNews #MyFDOT https://lnkd.in/dSHD_Stk

First major revamp of county’s Better Bus Network coming Miami-Dade’s bus network is expected to get its first major revamp Nov. 25 as the transit system tries to quell loud rider complaints on a handful of specific routes. Introduction of the Better Bus Network routes and schedules Nov. 13, 2023, was geared to provide faster and more-frequent trips on the most heavily traveled of the county’s 70 routes by spreading bus stops farther apart and deemphasizing little-traveled routes. #MiamiTodayNews #MiamiTransit #MiamiDadeCounty https://lnkd.in/dbabsaAv

Opinion County poised to jump-start long-needed visioning platform Game-changing legislation offers a path to fill a costly gap: Miami-Dade desperately needs a cohesive community vision. Business and civic leaders should long ago have united to fill that void, but they haven’t tried. Kudos to county commission Chairman Oliver Gilbert III for stepping into the minefield and putting visioning in play. #MiamiTodayNews #MiamiDadeCounty https://lnkd.in/dSZnxP6t
