This letter is to request that Miami-Dade County take steps as soon as possible to
improve lighting conditions on the paths along the Metrorail right -of -way within the City
of South Miami (along S. Dixie Highway, between S.W. 57 Ave. and 80 St.).
Adequate lighting is necessary under the rail to improve the level of safety and security
of pedestrians and bicyclists utilizing the pathways at night. Numerous incidents have
occurred in the last couple of years to prompt this request.
It is our hope that with your cooperation, we can minimize the possibility of future
crimes or tragedies.
We look forward to your response as soon as possible.
If you need additional information, please contact Asst. Chief Michael Mills at 305 -663-
6310 or e- mail, mmills @cityofsouthmiami.net.
Thank you iq advance four attention to this important matter.
