The resolution, presented as agenda item 1G2, was approved as part of a consolidated motion that included ordinance 1G1; the consolidated motion was adopted by roll call vote of the members present. Chairwoman Higgins noted the approval marks the first time the committee is seeing the plan rollout for the South Dade Corridor later this summer. "With the new bus routes, it's the first time we're starting to see the plan for the rollout of the South Dade Corridor later this summer," she said.
