City of Miami presents new master plan for Virginia Key

The Miami Herald reports on the City of Miami planning department`s newest proposal for a Virginia Key Master Plan, which will go before the City Commission July 22.

The claim, emblazoned in the headline, is that this plan is
more nature, less concrete than last year`s plan, which contained upwards of 12 parking garages.


See the Miami Herald story: http://www.miamiherald.com/2010/07/18/1736593/virginia-key-more-nature-less.html

The Herald story also contains a link to the City of Miami plan.

See it for yourself.

Is this the very best than can be done to protect the island`s natural resources and bring back public waterfront access or, merely as one representative of a civic group involved in the planning process put it -- a necessary compromise.
