- Changing tides: Mayoral aspirant Regalado’s developer contributions increase (according to the Herald because of Miami 21.)
- Slots are almost in South Florida…I wonder what the redevelopment of the Flagler dogtrack will do to the neighborhood. Maybe they can use their increased profit to develop something nice on their huge, empty parking lot.
- Transit advocates and local officials in Tampa are miffed that proposed high speed rail plans bypass the recently renovated Union Station, an early 20th century Italian Renaissance revival-style station. Check out the photo, it’s pretty nice.
- Sunrail: Can link to high-speed rail help sell Legislature on commuter rail?
- Miami-Dade budget: the Kendall Community Council is not happy over the Mayor’s proposed budget cuts to planning and zoning staff. (This staff organizes neighbhorhood charrettes and guides community planning – value creating activities that are economic generators for the county.)
- Transit gets shafted (yet again): the proposed budget leaves out an expected 3.5% increase in the general fund contribution.
- Commissioner Moss is pushing for high speed rail to Miami. The Greater Miami Chamber of Commerce also endorses the idea. Cool.
- Awesome article about demolishing urban freeways and redevelopment opportunities. Can anyone say I-395?



Tony, how can Regalado’s money increase because of Miami 21?
The Herald article was published on Saturday. That means he would have voted no, held a fundraiser or 8 and deposit all of the money. As well as put it in the record and file the campaign report. While the herald would pick it up and report on it in a day.
I don’t think it had anything to do with Miami 21, just relaying what the paper said. From the article: “One reason Regalado is getting developer help, political observers say, involves his opposition to Diaz’ Miami 21 zoning overhaul.”
what happened to the post about the upcoming transit meeting? has that been canceled too?
My apologies then Tony.
I would be so happy if they tear down the I-395 and put it underground.
Hopefully it would revitalize overtown.
Regalado’s opposition to Miami21 has been known for ever, he has made it no secret over the last year.
