The City of Miami Comission unanimously approved a new master plan for Virginia Key Thursday, July 22 that is supposed to serve as a future roadmap for redevelopment as well as ecological restoration of the island.
The Miami Herald briefly reports on this in today's issue: http://www.miamiherald.com/2010/07/23/1743176/virginia-key-plan-is-approved.html
Unlike other master plans, which often sit on shelves, portions of this plan could come to life sooner rather than later with the help of volunteer organizations that can offer their sweat equity in creating bike paths, replanting natives and creating public spaces where there are none today.
If nearly 100 civic and environmental organizations participated in the planning process that transformed the former concrete-laden master plan with this greener proposal, there should be lots of volunteers at the island's disposal.
Shovel, anyone?
