(THIS IS A PUBLIC DOCUMENT)
The Miami River Commission’s Greenway Subcommittee met as regularly scheduled, on the second Monday of the month, May 13, 2002, 9 am, Miami River Inn, 118 South River Drive, Marjory Stoneman Douglas Conference Room.  Lavinia Freeman, Trust for Public Land, Brett Bibeau, Miami River Commission, and Jim Broton, Spring Garden Civic Association attended the meeting.

The Greenway subcommittee provided revisions to the draft Miami River Corridor Urban Infill Plan’s Greenway chapter.  The revisions included, but were not limited to, including recreational boat hook ups along the Greenway where feasible, depicting the proposed Greenway path on all map exhibits, include the Wagner Creek, 7th Ave to 5th Street, SW 8th Ave from River to SW 8th Street, SW 12th Ave from River to SW 8th Street, Orange Bowl connection sections, revising the Middle River Greenway text, and revise the approved bond issue name to, “Homeland Defense and Neighborhood Improvement” bond issue.

Brett Bibeau, MRC, and Lavinia Freeman, TPL, agreed to offer to write a Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) Transportation Enhancement Program grant application for the City of Miami to submit, since they are the only eligible entity.  The grant may fund up to $1 million for the Miami River Greenway, and is due Wednesday, May 15, 2002.

The Greenway subcommittee discussed the Florida Communities Trust (FCT) grant program.  The program provides significant funding for land acquisition to be used for public greenspace.  TPL’s Tallahassee office has committed to submit the FCT grant application.

The next Greenway meeting was scheduled for June 3, 2002, 9 am, Miami River Inn, 118 South River Drive.

The meeting adjourned.
