Transit riders btwn South Beach & Miami stand in packed buses for upwards of an hour to cross Biscayne Bay. That's if their lucky enough to even get on.

Imagine spending almost 1+ hour crossing the MacArthur Causeway like this. The folks on Fisher Island, South of Fifth, and on West Avenue opposing Baylink don't have to. They also don't have the right to stop progress to fix the mobility crisis on Miami Beach.

It shouldn't be this way. Over 2 dozen people waiting for 120 downtown. They see the bus coming -- but it's already packed full and over SRO capacity . 20 min later, bus shows up. Graciously, the driver allows more people , even though over capacity. Still not everyone gets on.

Ocean Drive is a multimodal wonder. Just this morning we saw dozens on bikes, scooters, skates, foot, cars, and mobility scooters. Short of full pedestrianization with a flawlessly executed plan, it's one of the most impactful changes for South Beach this decade. 🌴🛴🚲🚗 👪

Mobility is at a standstill in the urban cores of Miami-Dade County. Ironically, much of this is probably due to the never-ending construction. Perhaps some of the $$$ should be invested in non-car infra. Listening state DOT?

Fisher Island is against Baylink for selfish reasons. We shouldn't forget that nonstop development with more & taller buildings on Fisher Island has led to more intense use of Terminal Island (where the ferry operates) & traffic for South Beach residents, employees, and visitors.

The MacArthur Causeway/395 are bumper/bumper entire length. Not bc it's season, rather It's the endless construction -- that doesn't solve the regions traffic woes but instead contributes & induces additional traffic and deepens the car dependency.
