All-
We met today with Mark Tomczyk and David Marlinez from City of MB, CIP. We feel the meeting was very
positive. They mentioned that once the northern section of Flamingo Drive is completed (very shortly), they
would look into cornpleting the necessary curbing and street gutters in the lower section of Flamingo Drive.
David and Tom-
It was nice to meet you both and thank you for taking the tirne to meet with Lance, Lar-ry andmyself this
morning. Please keep us all posted as to the progress for the continued improvements of our steet. We feel
you have done a great job so far and look forward to cornpleting our section of the street. Thanks again.

Thanks for the reply. We have brought the Pan coast issue up numerous times with both the city mangers office and the
cip office they assured us in the last meeting it will be addressed and its juts a matter of finding the funding.
We are waiting for a confirmation of a meeting date with the city to discuss the below and the Pan coast issue is on the
list as well. Any assistance you can provide with Pancoast would be greatly appreciated. We are one association and
Flamingo drive runs form street for 25th to 4L't. The different sections assigned really do not make sense because the
natural break in the street is at 25th street before the apartment buildings, Flamingo Drive from 25th to 41't reads as one
street..... have a great day

David-
I am forwarding you this email to follow up on the May and June emails you received from
Deborah Samuel in ref to the south side of Flamingo Drive in the 2500, 2600 block of Flamingo
Drive on behalf of the Flamingo Action Group. Irealize that the north side of Flamingo Drive is
a different section (Lake Pancoast) but, for some reason, the City of Miami Beach is keating the
south side of Flamingo Drive like the ugly stepchild. The north just received all new curbs
including driveway aprons and looks beautiful including their underground power lines. The
south side not only does not have driveway aprons, they also left the curbs completely neglected,
broken, missing sections and the streets in some of the newly paved areas have huge puddles
when it rains especially in front of rny driveway at25L5 Flamingo Drive. We aiso have
overhead power lines that have leaning powff poles that in a strong wind will likely fall over and
are very old. I have included several south side residents and Commissioner Ed Tobin and
Commissioner Jonah Wolfson. Please follow up and let me know where the City of MB stands
on completing this projecttbat should have been cornpleted some time ago. Thank you.

Good morning Deborah,
This area of Flamingo Drive is part of the Lake Pancoast Project and not Central
Bayshore. The design and improvements of this section of Flamingo just called for a
complete mill and overlay without any curb replacement unfortunately. Currently the
east side of the road does not have curbing. The west side curbing varies from fair with
full reveal to severgly broken with sections missing.
ln rny opinion this curbing should have been replaced. I will discuss with staff to
determine the best way to address this issue and keep you informed.

Hi
Please see pick of the 2500 block rvhere they put the new layer of black top.
Please notice the curbs and drive way aprons they were not redone or repaired.
What is the status of these curbs and driveway aprons. I know you said we were
getting new curbs and aprons.... also note when it rains the driveway aprons
flood. I will take pictures of the water when it rains than ks olt
