President's Report
Bus Benches and Advertising: Reviewing with the City of Miami why residential Brickell Avenue was excluded from the January 10, 2002 official Resolution language passed by Commissioners that excluded residential areas from getting the advertising panels along with the bus benches. Coconut Grove, Upper East Side and Brickell Avenue from 15th to 25th Roads were discussed at that meeting to be three areas that are to get new benches but not with advertising.
