Police Advisory - Traffic Closures on Pinetree and Dade BLVD.

Dear Middle District Residents, HOA's and Crime Watch Groups,

During the week of July 28th, The Miami Beach Police and Fire Department in conjunction with Mt Sinai Hospital, will be partaking in a Regional Full Scale Exercise that will involve shots fired within in a building. The area affected will be on Pinetree Drive within Dade Blvd and 41 Street. Street closures will be intermittent and kept to a minimum. Please note this is a FULLY CONTROLLED scenario based situation inside of a building.

In order to make this exercise as realistic as possible for the participants, the date, time and location cannot be released at this time.

It is recommended that you avoid Pinetree Drive / Dade Blvd during the week of July 28th in order to minimize traffic delays due to intermittent traffic closures.
