Hey there Palmetto Bay! Most of our schools are back in session this week, so give yourself some extra time to get to work as traffic will be heavier and school zones speed limits will be enforced. Click for my video update below.
For several months, I have been sharing information regarding the Rapid Transit Zone (RTZ). In addition to the discussion and presentations at the Village meeting, the South Dade Coalition of Mayors and Managers has been working to develop a report that addresses development in South Dade that supports transit while maintaining the vibe or fabric of our communities. This past week, The South Dade Municipal Coalition - made up of Palmetto Bay, Pinecrest, Cutler Bay, Homestead and Florida City – submitted a joint letter to the commission. I am appreciative of the collaboration with the South Dade Mayors and thank the Council for unanimously supporting the report. Click here to learn more or read the letter.
As a classroom teacher and education advocate for over thirty-six years, I know the impact that our schools have on our community. Strong schools, public and private, are the foundation for our Village, and I take great pride in our collaboration with our school district, school administrators, teachers, and PTA/PTSAs. I am looking forward to welcoming Superintendent Jose Dotres to the Village on Thursday, March 31st. If you are a parent, local business, or a part of one of our many schools, you won't want to miss the new superintendent's visit. The Village will be his first stop in his District 9 tour. I am appreciative of our School Board Member, Luisa Santos for working with the Village to make it happen. You can learn more about the new Miami-Dade Superintendent by clicking here. To join us at 8:30 am, click here or use the QR code below. Seating is limited and we will provide a link to view virtually after we reach capacity.
As always, I encourage you to stay tuned into reliable information sources. You can subscribe to the Village Newsletter by clicking here and of course, I am here to answer questions or lend a helping hand. I have enjoyed joining small groups for After Hours with Karyn in your driveway or homes. If you are interested in scheduling a time for me to meet with you and your neighbors, I can also be reached at kcunningham@palmettobay-fl.gov or at 305-799-0695. I look forward to seeing you in and around the Village. Together we are making Palmetto Bay a better place to live, work, learn, and play.
Warm regards,
