R-407-60 MIAMI SHORES VILLAGE
RESOLUTION NO. 407
A RESOLUTION CONCERNING THE PROPOSED MID-BAY
CAUSEWAY.
WHEREAS, when Miami Shores Village was incorporated the
eastern boundary line was placed near the east edge of Biscayne Bay, and
WHEREAS, many officials and citizens have considered this a
safeguard against attempts to construct land fill projects in the Bay east
of the Village shore line, and
WHEREAS, it has been announced that the Dade County Commission
is planning the construction of a vehicular driveway in Biscayne Bay which
will extend through the corporate limits of Miami Shores Village, and
WHEREAS, it is the opinion of many citizens of this Village, that
although said project might create a scenic drive for those using it, it also
might create an ugly scar on the scenic beauty of the Bay, thereby injuring
the value of the shore property which has been developed at great expense,
and
WHEREAS, the report "A Study of Traffic and Transportation in
Metropolitan Dade County 195811, compiled by the County Traffic and
Transportation Department, does not in its comprehensive conclusions
include mention of a drive in Biscayne Bay in order to move the traffic in
the immediate future or in long range planning, and
WHEREAS, the people of Miami Shores Village and its Council
have not had an opportunity to consider what effects the construction of
said mid-bay causeway might have upon them and the properties in the
Village;
THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the Council of Miami Shores
Village that the Dade County Commission do postpone any action upon the
pending proposal until such time as regional studies can be conducted and
the sentiment of the people in the various localities which might be affected
by the causeway be ascertained.
PASSED AND ADOPTED this 7th day of June, 1960.
