We came, we #connected, and we celebrated community. 🎉

Last week we enjoyed #Community Connections: Speed Friending powered by @amazon and celebrated our neighborhood spotlight #LittleBahamas. (1/2)

➡️ The Rickenbacker walking path barely accommodates wheelchairs.
➡️ #paintisnotprotection. This bike lane only serves the fearless.
➡️ 51-56% of people need #protectedbikelanes. They don't prevent group rides who can claim the lane instead.

@DrMickeyWit #paintisnotprotection.

It's even more obvious when one realizes the bike lane is the only quality accommodation for those with wheelchairs.

The Rickenbacker needs #protectedbikelanes. It won't prevent the group rides from claiming the lane if they prefer more space.

Thank you to @GoMiamiDade for taking the @MiamiChamber on a tour of the #SouthCorridor, a project of the #SMARTPlan currently under construction that is being paid for in part with the @GoCITT’s #HalfPenny funds. Let’s keep Moving Forward!

Amazing 😻

Lipstick on a pig. Another highway expansion project. More asphalt and concrete. The wrong direction. Who would pay for this?

⁦Great news for those looking for a long term solution on #KeyBiscayne #Rickenbacker.

@MiamiMayor⁩ and @CityofMiami unanimously support @PlanZforMiami and ask ⁦@MiamiDadeCounty⁩ ⁦@MayorDaniella⁩ to reopen the RFP “as it was presented.” https://t.co/J9VHILgCc9

[Key Biscayne Independent @kbindependent]

City of Miami seeks to revive controversial "Plan Z" privatization of iconic Rickenbacker Causeway. https://t.co/nOHA09PuLZ

[Aymee Zubizarreta @AymeeZubi]

Unanimous! That was the outcome on a resolution proposed by @miamimayor and approved by @CityofMiami commission endorsing @PlanZforMiami. The measure asks @MiamiDadeCounty @LevineCava to reopen the RFP “as it is presented”. https://t.co/Kv4F6lUytf via @IslanderNews

Developer says he still can finance @MiamiDadeCounty #Rickenbacker Causeway transformation. https://t.co/rg8N4O6V3B via @MiamiTodayNews #saferroads #visionzero #committoact

[Aymee Zubizarreta @AymeeZubi]

From my archive: ⁦@MiamiTodayNews⁩ in 2016 reported ⁦@Zyscovich⁩ ⁦@ZyscovichB⁩ then grassroots movement known as ⁦@PlanZforMiami⁩ that sought to #RevivetheRickenbacker with complete separation between motorists, bike riders & peds. https://t.co/hBrMJak5tq

[Aymee Zubizarreta @AymeeZubi]

From my archive: In 2017, @Zyscovich @ZyscovichB’s grassroots movement turned not for profit invited the public to view his probono effort to #ReviveTheRickenbacker in @MiamiDadeCounty https://t.co/UbQeiMwpgy #saferroads #visionzero #commitoact

[Aymee Zubizarreta @AymeeZubi]

Did you know effective July 1, 2021 per the @FloridaBicycle association, these new #saferroads mandates became the law across the state of Florida? https://t.co/KzNYcDQbZF

[Aymee Zubizarreta @AymeeZubi]

Yes, @adama44 there is a multimodal transportation & recreational plan called @PlanZforMiami that actually connects with the @MiamiDadeCounty @theunderlinemia ! WATCH https://t.co/TslZZHuwel #revivetherickenbacker

The preventable deaths due to poor road design need to end. I personally would still have my father alive if we had #saferroads.

How many more cyclists need to lose their lives?

[Bernard Zyscovich, FAIA @ZyscovichB]

The South Florida cycling community has been working with @MiamiDadeCounty for quite some time now to build a bike mobility network that connects @theunderlinemia, @Ludlam_Trail & the #CommodoreTrail with the #Rickenbacker cwy. #saferroads #visionzero #miamiloop

[Aymee Zubizarreta @AymeeZubi]

Back in 2015, after the death of Walter Reyes, advocates gathered to demand change. Now, 2022, the death toll is 7 on @MiamiDadeCounty #Rickenbacker causeway. #saferroads #visionzero https://t.co/9VbJVpp7Dt

[Aymee Zubizarreta @AymeeZubi]

@DrMickeyWit: @ZyscovichB Plan Z also includes #saferroads design for both @MDCPS @MASTAcademyPTSA & @univmiami @UMiamiRSMAS on the @MiamiDadeCounty #Rickenbacker Causeway too! #ReviveTheRickenbacker

[Aymee Zubizarreta @AymeeZubi]

From my archive: 2015. @DrMickeyWit’s comments why @ZyscovichB proposed #urbandesign plan for @MiamiDadeCounty will provide #completestreets for the #Rickenbacker causeway. https://t.co/iBTAVKZaqa
