Gridlock fixes

It’s exciting to see the investments in transportation, both public and private, that are occurring in Miami-Dade County.

As downtown continues to grow and more people move to our region, we can’t expect the status quo to sustain us.

It’s taken a while, but the time has finally come that new methods are being introduced, and our community is demanding additional mobility options.

The addition of All Aboard Florida will be transformative for Miami.

This project has the ability to start the cultural shift of getting people out of their cars and into more sustainable forms of transportation.

AAF’s investment is also getting the Tri-Rail Coastal Link project off the ground.

Kudos to our local elected officials for seeing the importance both projects will have for our county and supporting them.
