Javier Betancourt, executive director of the Citizens Independent Transportation Trust, told commissioners the update is the required mechanism for county projects to become eligible for the half‑penny surtax. “If the county wants to use the half penny surtax for any projects, it first needs to make its way into this plan,” Betancourt said. He said the trust worked with the Department of Transportation and Public Works and the mayor’s office to prepare the recommendation and offered to present a PowerPoint but did not proceed in the interest of time.

The commission opened the public hearing and invited comment; no members of the public presented comment during the hearing. Betancourt said the trust was available to answer questions and that the presentation and recommended plan are on file with staff. The transcript does not record a final vote or adoption of the resolution during the portion of the meeting provided.

Why it matters: the People’s Transportation Plan governs how proceeds from the county’s half‑penny surtax may be allocated. Updates to the five‑year implementation plan set which projects are eligible for surtax funding during the plan period.

What happened next: Commissioners declined to view a slide presentation during this session. The recorder shows the public hearing was opened and the CITT director presented; any later action on the resolution is not specified in the transcript excerpt.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","Miami-Dade County - Transportation Committee - Feb 11, 2025","oneSentenceSummary","Miami‑Dade County commissioners opened a public hearing on a resolution (item 1 g 1) to adopt the fiscal year 2025–2029 update to the five‑year implementation plan for the People’s Transportation Plan.","taxTitle","Miami-Dade County, Florida","taxId",2864,"location","headline","","shortSummary",{"_33":76,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":77,"_41":78,"_43":79,"_45":80,"_47":81,"_49":82,"_51":83,"_53":84,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":85,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":86,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6693361,"DTPW says Coconut Grove Metro Rail Station repairs progressing; conveyance work to include 120‑day testing period",57,2231000,2288000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2258335-54a70fe04a941121c5c9545918949a53&start=2231&end=2288","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2258335-54a70fe04a941121c5c9545918949a53/thumbnail_2231000.jpg","/articles/6693361/Miami-Dade-County/Florida/DTPW-says-Coconut-Grove-Metro-Rail-Station-repairs-progressing-conveyance-work-to-include-120day-testing-period","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6693361-194f23117babec0a98a9f62bc25e7ec9/orig.mp4?Expires=1771170315&Signature=ENiy8MTIPtL7u8XyELQimM~cHb0fNW6sJRAbycQi3SmGYweVagGIHdH4s1TYjhBoA4UlbeTn3wiId0gx5~x1YTNA64Aat3bjDyfcnthP~l2IfI6q-EPo~Vj-89u0XmyJO9NtNlMMgl4yZiabWeMF-qpBxCdUO-AeHCS1xofeyDtgG80eww6W05Tnfro0KfnLjasLxEUubLl0xiuVu6hM1ugNJZlz-M9Qpj3lDLLX6uRFEr6r6ckPD2Vj8XVj4zlTU7bvVcNUodm2RDk04e6r4VJobiToJvSUuoLm3NtKt~eYdT7jOpjrQBxM7bW~s~oWvgzRUDszzNKcFO4xRR-zcw__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","A county official said repairs at the Coconut Grove Metro Rail Station are underway and expected to proceed through installation and testing over roughly 120 days.

Joseph Rodriguez, interim director of the Department of Transportation and Public Works, told commissioners that all parts for the station work have been received and that work is progressing. “We are when when we actually committed to to do this work is because we had assurance that all the parts have been received. So all the work is taking place are progressing well. So we we think we're gonna meet and exceed that time,” Rodriguez said, referring to the schedule for completing conveyance systems and their testing.

Rodriguez said the timeline accounts for installing the conveyance systems (elevators/escalators) and the required testing and burn‑in period that follows installation. He added that transit connections promised by the developer remain in place and are being supplemented by the department. A commissioner noted personal and district interest in the station because a family member uses it; the transcript does not record any formal vote or additional action on the repairs during the excerpt.

Why it matters: elevators and escalators are critical to accessibility at Metro Rail stations and extended outages can affect riders, including people with mobility needs and daily commuters in the district served by Coconut Grove station.

Next steps: Rodriguez said the department is monitoring work closely; no further schedule changes or formal deadlines beyond the 120‑day period were recorded in the provided transcript.","Interim DTPW director Joseph Rodriguez told commissioners that parts for elevator and escalator work at Coconut Grove Metro Rail Station have arrived and crews are installing conveyance systems.

The clerk asked the commission to note two clerical corrections: on page MDC004 the link to the Department of Transportation and Public Works website should include a trailing \".page\"; and on item 3B on page MDC008 the last monetary amount in the title and body should read $5,593,577 instead of $2,592,000. The clerk read both corrections aloud to the commission.

A motion to adopt the agenda was moved and seconded; the roll call recorded in the transcript includes Commissioner Bastien (yes), Commissioner Bermudez (yes) and Vice Chairwoman Regalado (yes), and the chair noted the motion passed unanimously. The transcript does not supply the mover or seconder's names within the provided excerpt.

Why it matters: clerical corrections ensure the public record and meeting materials accurately reflect links and funding figures used in agenda items and any subsequent deliberations.

The clerk and county attorney confirmed other procedural matters before the meeting proceeded to agenda business.","Miami‑Dade commissioners voted unanimously to adopt the meeting agenda after the clerk read two scrivener corrections: a missing trailing \".page\" in a link on item 7A (MDC004) and a corrected dollar amount for item 3B, which should read $5,593,577 instead of $2,592,000.","actionData","errors"]
