Josephine Pampanas
Marvin Silverman The Transportation & Parking Committee met on December 7, 2009, and
Scott7lmm held a discussion regarding the wall conditions of the McArthur and Julia Tuttle
Seth Wasserman Causeways; a representative from the Florida Department of Transportation
(FDOT) was present.
The Committee was informed that FDOT supervises two (2) contracts for the
amounts of $120k and $130k, which can be used for the removal of graffiti. The
Committee is concerned with the manner in which this work is being done, as
the paint colors used for the patchwork do not match, making these most scenic
roads for tourists, unsightly.
Question was raised as to the feasibility for the City of Miami Beach to take over
the funds from FDOT and City to conduct the work, as it will be done in a much
more satisfactory manner.
The Committee would also like the Beautification Committee made aware of
this issue as well as alerting the Police Community Resource Office to assign
officers to these areas to aid in the apprehension of these violators.
As an Advisory Committee, we sincerely ask that this issue be addressed.
Sincerely,
Transportation and Parking Committee
