87th Avenue Bridge Conflict Assessment Process Ends
On Thursday, January 20, 2022, members of the Village Council, along with Village Attorney John Dellagloria met with the Board of County Commissioners (BCC) and the Transportation Planning Organization's (TPO) Governing Board in two separate meetings as part of the Conflict Assessment Resolution process previously initiated by Palmetto Bay in opposition of the BCC and TPO approvals of the SW 87th Avenue Bridge. Unfortunately, both meetings concluded in an impasse being called by the BCC and later by the TPO.
