Community Participation paid off in stopping the future destruction of our tree canopy



I would like to extend many thanks to the Coconut Grove Village Council for its leadership role in mediating a temporary stop to the County’s so called “beautification improvement” plans for 27th Avenue. Chairperson Michelle Niemeyer mastered the hearing with great leadership. My thanks go out as well to other Coconut Grove Community representatives and concerned citizens for standing together as ONE VOICE in condemning Miami-Dade Public Works for misrepresenting their improvement plans to the Coconut Grove Community. In addition, thanks to our County Commissioner Xavier Suarez for his solid pledge for full participation of the community with any future plans which may impact the quality of life of the Residents of Coconut Grove.
