The area between the serpentine walkway and the beach west of the dunes should be activated with additional recreational amenities. In order to minimize food consumption in Lummus Park, urban appropriate picnic tables should be considered for this same underutilized area between the serpentine walkway and the dunes. The City’s Department of Tourism and Cultural Affairs should be responsible to create a regular schedule of cultural programming and recreational activities for these areas. Art and sculpture installastions and cutural programming are ongoing. Additionally, the City has significantly enhanced the fitness/recreation facilities in the Muscle Beach area (8th -9th St) of Lummus Park. Several substantial pieces of equipment have been approved by the HPB and installed by the City. 10) No person or business is allowed to sell, buy, dispense, use or otherwise possess marijuana in Miami Beach. This Proposal underscores this point for the area of Ocean Drive. No person or business will be allowed to sell, buy, dispense, use or otherwise possess marijuana on Ocean Drive, including but not limited to on the sidewalks, street, Lummus Park, Ocean Court alley or other public areas in the vicinity of Ocean Drive, or in any private property fronting Ocean Drive or a street perpendicular to Ocean Drive west to Collins Avenue. With regard to medical marijuana, if that becomes legal in Miami Beach, medical marijuana dispensaries will be banned in properties fronting Ocean Drive.
