Better Streets Miami Beach

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. A few wealthy elite are trying to stop the train. Learn more in today's Miami Herald via @doug_hanks. miamiherald.com/news/local/com…

@OfficialJoelF 7 years for the 2nd lane to return.

FDOT is estimating Q3 2026 for the opening of: - Second lane on SB I-95 ramp to EB I-395 - NEW flyover ramp from WB I-395 to SB I-95

It's time to consider ending checkpoints along causeways to Miami Beach

Secret Service will conduct security screenings of pedestrians, cyclists, e scooter riders and people driving to their homes across Venetian Islands

@IRideMDT Hearing now, via @MiamiPD / USSS statement ,that pedestrians, bicyclists, and micromobily riders may be allowed to proceed, though from the statement it may be only heading eastbound:

UPDATE: We've been informed that this will include bicyclists, pedestrians, and people riding micromobility. Alternatives are not great, and include the MacArthur Causeway or @IRideMDT buses.

ALERT: "Hard closure" of Venetian Causeway Wednesday 1/28 from 2pm to 8pm. We've reached out to officials to see if this impacts bicyclists and micro mobility riders as well.

@tomfgoodwin @OfficialJoelF It's overparked just for a grocery store -- but not if it had residential on top.

@OfficialJoelF No apartments on top? Waste

Here’s a recent pic I took of the empty land where the Wells Fargo by Sunset Harbour used to be in Miami Beach. Site will become a new 40,000 sf Whole Foods & the bank will be coming back. There will also be a 271-space parking garage onsite 📍 1901 Alton Road

@underscore_qua @PotCzach They are not.

@PotCzach I'm sorry are those spaces between the bumps not large enough to sit on?

hostile architecture starts with hostility towards homeless people and skateboarders, but it ends with Hostiltity Towards You

@RealMikeSchall @OfficialJoelF What would the cost per passenger be on this type of device?

@OfficialJoelF Museum Park, Flagler St/Fountain, Brickell, Coconut Grove Marina, South Beach, Lincoln Road, North Bay Village

What stops should they add to the new Miami Beach water taxi?

@guilleti3 Build more housing?

@BikeWalkMB Ugly and non-sense, did it in North Beach too. Isnt there a better way of fighting against homelessness?

NEW: Miami Beach is installing anti-seating bumps at the Lincoln Road Beachwalk entrance, a public space where studies estimate up to 8,000 people pass through on the busiest days.

Multimodal: Bikes and scooters can ride too -- at the discretion of the Captain.

@OfficialJoelF Great pictures!

@JeffreyBrandes - Smart roads (AI signals + sensors) Common talking point by electds now, but is there any idea how much $$$ and how long this could take to implement? Traffic signals are incredibly complex...

6 wins for 2026 • Condo transparency (standard disclosures) • Insurance stability (optimize Cat Fund + shrink Citizens) • Smart roads (AI signals + sensors) • Prison modernization • Housing supply (missing middle + starter homes) • Use universities (the untapped resource)

Florida doesn’t need another press conference. We need a governing agenda. Here are 6 moves lawmakers can actually pass in 2026 that deliver results voters will feel.

Every wheelchair user’s safety is threatened by bollards along Lincoln Road at Alton Road in Miami Beach. The car in the photo is a lane over. It’s impossible to see what’s coming north on the closest lane. …antravelandaccessibility.blogspot.com/2025/12/ugly-g… #PerilsForPedestrians #ADA #WheelchairAccess

Super important to understand why most people would welcome Parisian-style apartment housing (left) but not “five over one” apartment (right) to their neighborhood —yes, one reason is that the Parisian building is easy on the eyes while the American apartment building is painful to look at. —but we also prefer small-scale apartment buildings where we’re sharing stairs and entrances with limited households and can realistically know our neighbors —we like buildings that are attached to adjacent buildings and form a street wall and coherent block —we like single stair buildings with dual aspects units that “live like a house,” with one window wall facing the public street and another facing the back courtyard —we like multifamily buildings that provide residents with private green space —we prefer durable construction materials like masonry to combustible materials like stick frame

Cringe. You fixed a parking lot. The most basic low tier maintenance. It’s like celebrating unclogging a toilet. Our airport is still falling apart. This is everything wrong with our broken ego-driven performative politics. Miami-Dade leaders are unserious people. #BecauseMiami

@jett_flyer34 It's class 2, but usually ride 10-15 mph. Original battery.

@BikeWalkMB What mode you have and for how long does it last on the road?

Just hit 7,777 miles on our e-bike. Total game changer for life on Miami Beach.
