SAVE MID-BEACH, SAVE MIAMI BEACH, SAY NO TO CONDOS
WHERE ONE OVERSIZED CONDO GOES, MORE WILL FOLLOW
KEEP THE CONDOS OUT OF OUR MID-BEACH NEIGHBORHOODS
** IMPORTANT ** If you have already signed a paper petition for this cause, please do not submit your signature here.
NOTE: Your Residential Address and Email Address will not be displayed on the petition site. The information provided here will be used for the purpose of presenting this petition to the City of Miami Beach Commission Chambers. If you prefer to sign the paper version, please visit our blog site for additional contact information.
We, the undersigned, are opposed without qualification to the massive townhouse/ parking garage/condominium structure proposed for the parking lots fronting 42nd Street, between Pine Tree Drive and Sheridan Avenue, Miami Beach, on the grounds that it is, in design and execution, incompatible with the residential neighborhood over which it will loom.
The proposed structure is too massive for this community of single family homes and small apartments. It will worsen traffic congestion on the already gridlocked 41st Street , especially the notoriously dangerous intersections at Sheridan Avenue and 41st Street and Pine Tree Drive and 41st Street . It will increase commuter traffic throughout the neighborhood as drivers seek to escape gridlock and thereby contribute to a decline in public safety. It will stress an already strained infrastructure and lead to a general diminution in the quality of life in the neighborhood. We ask the planning board to reject this application with prejudice.
I have been spending my mornings walking those streets and imagining them choked with traffic from this project. We are preparing our materials to face the commission because our neighborhood deserves better than being turned into a construction site.
November 26, 2006
Seeing this response makes me feel less alone in the fight to preserve the place I call home. The city commission can no longer ignore that our neighborhood wants to protect the character of these streets.

Enough with the construction already. You are ruining the character of the neighborhood for a few greedy developers. Stop it now.

Why do they keep trying to shove these massive buildings into areas that cant handle the density? Just leave us alone.
