Meeting today about Urban Expansion in Miami Dade County. By Geniusofdespair


You might think there is nowhere to expand without destroying the viability of farming, or encroaching on the Everglades in South Dade, but then you might be wrong. There appears to always be room for expansion of the urban areas. You just have to identify those areas. Not an easy task. Stopping additional development is not an option for the County, although many of you might wish for that to ease your daily traffic frustration.

A group of stakeholders will convene today at 1pm at the South Dade Regional Library to consider areas for expansion. An evaluation and appraisal plan is required every 7 years by the state: The Ear. It is a report to the State on how the County is carrying out it's master plan along with recommendations to change the master plan. The Urban Development Boundary is incorporated in the master plan.

If you are near the location you might want to attend as the meetings are public, although you are not allowed to comment. There will be public sessions for comment but not now.

The development area on the map you posted presumably taken from a satellite in space looks like a penis penetrating the Everglades.
