Hello Key Biscayne!
This week, something for your maid and another thing about the Rickenbacker which is sure to please almost no one.
Our extensive strip-mall parking lots have beautiful views.
Those two brief things and we’ll be out of your hair.
Infotainment
B-Line Most of you reading this have never seen the inside of a county bus, but if you live on the west side of the island and you have a maid, and you don’t pay her enough for her to have her own car, this one’s for you.
Miami-Dade is planning on eliminating the bus route that goes down Harbor Drive starting early next year as part of an effort to make the bus system more efficient. This will affect hundreds, if not thousands of west-side maids on their way to your west-side house. Make sure to plan accordingly. 🚌
Anti-climax After some meetings here and there about the future redevelopment of the Rickenbacker Causeway, the County has come up with its decision. The Village came out strongly to ask the County to scrap the RFP process and the County said, ‘mmm, not so sure about that.’
In a bid to defuse tensions without actually making anyone very happy, the County voted to just push back the RFP deadline from November to March of next year. ⏳
