This e-mail will be forwarded to all appropriate Venetian Causeway associations and groups in both Miami Beach and Miami. Our goal will be to get at least 65% of all homeowners, condo owners and renters within these areas to agree to the following items.

1. Tolls. We would like to get the County to increase the toll on weekends and nights and during the season. This will help to both improve the safety, and lessen traffic, in the neighborhoods, as well as increase the budget for the County authority.

2. Speed Limit. Reduce the speed limit back to 25 miles per hour after the Causeway project is complete. Again, this is to improve the safety in the neighborhoods.

3. Dog waste. Join in the Miami Beach initiative to have signs throughout the Causeway, its parks and eyebrows, reminding dog owners that the law requires that they clean up after their dogs. If possible, have waste containers and bags affixed to the signs for easy access and use.

4. Parking. No parking on the Causeway between 11 p.m. and 7 a.m. This would be to improve the safety for walkers and residents.

We will also be contacting Mayors, Commissioners and various jogging and bicycle clubs who enjoy the islands to discuss their support of these initiatives.

Once we obtain sufficient support for these initiatives, we can present them to the County Mayor and other appropriate parties. I hope to do this by year-end.

Thank you.
