Updates on last week's news

The plan to require Coconut Grove and downtown Miami business owners to replace the security shutters with high impact glass has been shelved for now.

They want to have a couple of workshops first. Not sure what that means, but I don't see the issue coming back any time soon.

The 3D art is gone at CocoWalk, I am not sure why they didn't just leave it for people to enjoy since it was specially made for that area, not sure where the art went, but I guess the artists took it with her.

The Playhouse looks so much better after last week's fix-up.

I passed the Coconut Grove Arts Festival Gallery yesterday and the photo sessions were in full swing for the Children's Trust exhibit. I watched them shoot photos for a bit. The kids were so proud all dressed up and posing for their own individual photos at special backdrop and settings.


The Coconut Grove Arts Festival will be presenting a $5,000 donation to the Miami Culinary Institute at Miami Dade College today, June 25. Funds provided by the organization will directly benefit students looking to complete a two-year Associate in Science degree in the form of scholarships.

As for my contacting the Miami Parking Authority regarding the Parking Waiver system in Coconut Grove. I received no response.

I sent four questions:

1) The Parking Waiver system in Coconut Grove. It is obsolete,
why is it still being used.

2) Where is all the money going and if it is going to build
parking garages, after 21 years, where are the parking garages?

3) Why are Grovites paying parking meters and paying this tax,
isn't that double dipping?

4) What is the reasoning behind the system, why was the Parking Waiver tax started in 1992. What is the exact reason?

I sent the questions out again today.
