Resolution 11547 RESOLUTION NO. 11547
WHEREAS the City Council of the City of Miami Beach,
Florida is of the belief that the continued operation of
Venetian Causeway as a toll facility is an ancient anomaly
having no place in an urban traffic system; that the
collection of tolls thereon is destructive of the good
will of tourist and resident alike; that the amount of
tolls collected must be regarded as being wholly incom-
mensurate with the substantial economic loss and detriment
resulting from the existence of the toll system thereon;
and that the discontinuance of such toll system would
enable the Venetian Causeway to be utilized to its fullest
extent and thereby benefit the Greater Miami area and all
of Dade County,
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT DULY RESOLVED BY THE CITY COUNCIL
OF THE CITY OF MIAMI BEACH, FLORIDA that the Metropolitan
Dade County Commission be and it is hereby urged to take
prompt appropriate action, in its capacity as the Dade
County Port Authority, so as to remove said Venetian Cause-
way from the jurisdiction and authority of the Port
Authority, and transferring and conveying the same to Dade
County for operation as a toll free thoroughfare.
PASSED and ADOPTED this 16th day of June, 1965.
