Residents of Miami-Dade County are calling for action on the long-awaited North Corridor Metrorail extension project, which aims to connect the community to Hard Rock Stadium and Miami Dade College North Campus. During a recent meeting of the Citizens' Independent Transportation Trust, community member Vernon Quinn expressed strong support for the project's timely completion, highlighting the significant contributions made by local stakeholders through a half-penny surtax over the past 23 years.
Quinn emphasized the urgency of delivering the project, noting that residents have been anticipating this extension for nearly five decades. He urged the implementation of interim public works projects and trolleys in unincorporated neighborhoods of North Central Dade, which are also eligible for funding from the surtax. This call for action reflects a broader community desire for improved transportation options and infrastructure.
Chair Wilfrost acknowledged the importance of these updates, stating that the meeting would include a detailed presentation on the North Corridor. The discussions aim to keep residents informed and engaged in the planning process, ensuring that their voices are heard as the project moves forward.
As the community awaits further developments, the focus remains on enhancing public transportation and addressing the needs of residents in North Central Dade. The commitment to these initiatives is crucial for fostering connectivity and supporting local growth.
