@doug_hanks Thank you!

[HoldTheLineMiami @weholdtheline]

@doug_hanks Are you able to post the entire document?

[HoldTheLineMiami @weholdtheline]

It's hard to tell what's happening, because new legislative language was inserted into a budget item LAST NIGHT.

Why the urgency?

Why not send it through the BCC?

Let the public have their say. Take action now:

Environmental advocates are predicting this late plan by @MayorDaniella will doom DERM into irrelevance. Admin downplays it as just reworking the permit-approval bureaucracy. First and final vote is tonight

Miami-Dade’s first Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) corridor has been pushed back, after multiple previous delays.

No new opening date is confirmed. Here’s what we know 🧵

[HoldTheLineMiami @weholdtheline]

Time to act! SB1118 is the most pro-sprawl, anti-local control measure filed this year.

Everyone who cares about responsible growth should contact their Fl Senators and tell them to reject this attack on local control. Click for more info and action:

A wonderful and fitting tribute. We miss you Sean. ❤️

[Daniella Levine Cava @MayorDaniella]

It was an honor to join you @miamidaderer. This preserve now carries the name of a giant in environmental protection and restoration, a longtime county veteran and inspiring leader, and a dear friend gone too soon. 🕊️🍃

[HoldTheLineMiami @weholdtheline]

We WON! Thx to the amazing support of the MDC community and to our incredible, tireless partners @tropicalaudubon @LawEverglades @floridafriends @FoEverglades. This keeps ~400 acres of land needed for the Glades & Bay safe.

Environmental groups won the appeal of a big court loss for Miami-Dade & a South Dade development group, meaning a new vote needed to move the UDB for the Aligned warehouse district. The first was in 2022-- and there are new commissioners on the board now. https://t.co/FgFwV3aIXY

Celebrate World Wetlands Day with us! 🌿 Join our Environmentally Endangered Lands program for an educational wetlands tour on Sunday, February 2nd, from 9 a.m. to noon at Tree Island Park Preserve. Don’t miss this opportunity to learn about and appreciate our wetlands!

[Save Calusa @savecalusa]

ROOKERY ROULETTE! New site plan fills large portions of the lake around the Calusa Rookery, to cram in more houses. Wildlife can’t thrive in a shrinking habitat surrounded by noise, light & houses. This puts hundreds of birds & their nesting habitat at extreme risk! #savecalusa

[HoldTheLineMiami @weholdtheline]

Warmest wishes for a happy, prosperous, and sustainable 2025 from the Hold The Line Coalition!

[HoldTheLineMiami @weholdtheline]

The time for transit is now! We simply cannot continue to add more cars to our gridlocked roadways. It’s time to get #SMART and build reliable, affordable transit in #MDC to get us moving and save time and money

[The Miami Times @TheMiamiTimes]

Almost 80% of #MiamiDade voters want expanded #PublicTransit, but the price tag could hit $6-7 billion. Commissioner Oliver Gilbert, III, says, “Nothing’s going to get cheaper.”

Glad to see this deferred but keep an eye on this. The item would allow public money to build roads that are normally the responsibility of developers.

[Doug Hanks @doug_hanks]

Item lifting the subsidy ban on the American Dream Miami project gets deferred by sponsor Commish Bermudez. https://t.co/pZ09115r9l
