In affirmation of our recent position on the continuance of implementing an efficient
transportation system in South Miami-Dade County, we stand united in seeking light rail for our
community. We are opposed to Bus-Rapid Transit as the primary functional mode of
transportation for the South-Dade US1 extension. The future of Miami-Dade's transportation
system is Light-Rail. If you should have any questions, please feel free to contact us.
Thank you,
