17 citizens of South Miami; and

After reading the letter to
the editor by Fernando Me-
noyo (Palms out of scale on
Segovia Street, Soapbox,
Nov. 27), I felt it necessary to
respond. The design con-
cept for Segovia Street that
Menoyo proposed was seri-
ously flawed. Let's compare
the differences between his
concept and the project
that's currently under conR
struction. Menayo's plan did
not provide for a curb de-
spite the fact that it was reR
quired to meet safety stan~
dards. Menoyo's concept
would have included fig
to 3 feet, limiting the land-
scaping that can be used.
Within a few weeks, the
project will be completed. As
one member of the public
wrote to me, "The improve-
ments you are making to Se~
govia will someday make it
one of the most scenic road-
ways in South Florida."
