Our Neighborhood Surroundings

First, on the positive side

The Brickell Avenue Streetscape project may actually get completed by the winter holidays. The fountains at each end of the residential Brickell Avenue corridor have received positive review, as have the intermittent block markers. Some additional shrubbery is needed in places, and some other finishing work, but the project's completion is in sight. If the job is done by the holidays, the finish would be a year later than the original timetable.

But, can we clean up our act?

BHA reps walk the neighborhood streets with City of Miami administrators charged with keeping everything in check at the neighborhood level. The idea of the walkabouts is to identify problems together so that they get addressed by the government entities responsible, and BHA can track progress and convey to neighbors what is being done to rectify various situations.

Liza Walton, NET Administrator for the Coral Way area and Brickell Avenue up to 15th Road, has taken many of these walks with BHA, and works diligently to liaison with whatever City departments have jurisdiction in the various matters. Whether it's a Code Enforcement, Public Works, or a Miami Police concern, Liza reaches out to those colleagues on behalf of residents. (Whether those other entities respond in a timely, accurate or informed manner, is often a different story.)

One only has to take their own walk along Brickell Avenue to easily see the kinds of problems that come up on the walkabouts: debris; broken signs and fixtures; cracked sidewalks; commercial advertising encroachment; blocked sidewalks and streets; and of course, the clear lack of canine courtesy.

Nit-picky little things by some standards. For others, signs of disregard and neglect that are festering to grow into something larger.

Some neighbors have compared the need to crack down on these affronts to our civil and aesthetic sensibilities to New York City in the 1990s. That's when the so-called "zero tolerance" period for petty crime led by Mayor Rudy Giuliani turned the tide on crime-ridden neighborhoods. Miami's own Police Chief John Timoney rose through the ranks to First Deputy Commissioner of the NYPD at the time.

Brickell is more-than-ready for "quality-of-life" crime and code enforcement.

BHA Vice President Claudia Bruce has walked many times with Liza, in addition to her own regular neighborhood walks. They've discussed problem areas and BHA News has covered many of these same concerns: dilapidated news racks that accumulate trash that BHA was told would be removed a year ago; advertising signage on randomly placed benches, protruding into sidewalks and with eye-assaulting visuals that compromise neighborhood ambiance; untended empty lots, another area for trash accumulation.

"We need to get things looking the way they should – for both safety and quality of life in the neighborhood," Claudia says. She knows it's the little things that make a difference; she lived in New York City at the time of its transformation. Check out Claudia's visual log of of the "Brickell Sidewalk Scene" opposite.

What a difference a bridge makes...

Brickell is the gateway to Key Biscayne. Linked by the Rickenbacker Causeway, we share Biscayne Bay, the ocean breezes, and luxury lifestyles. Brickell Homeowners Association has been working in tandem with the Village of Key Biscayne for some 10 years to get the City of Miami to provide athletic fields on Virginia Key for our youngsters. More recently, we have joined together to establish a Miami-Dade high school on Virginia Key for our growing teen populations.

Because the Brickell Homeowners Association has been an active partner with the Village of Key Biscayne on these initiatives, I was invited to the welcoming reception given by the Village to recognize the appointment of their new City Manager, our friend of many years, Chip Iglesias.

As I drove to their City Hall, I was struck by the Village facilities and amenities, and the beautiful sports fields for kids. There was an overall sense of cleanliness, with no trash on the streets and sidewalks, no advertising on the street furniture, no cracked and chipped curbing, roads and sidewalks. The Village has its own Fire Department and Police Force.

One can't help but make comparisons between the two areas, especially in light of the obvious contrasts. Taking into account the Brickell and Key Biscayne populations, and ad valorem tax contributions, the total available funds are similar, but Key Biscayne's revenues are invested in Key Biscayne, while Brickell's are spread throughout the City.

And with a single-district-style Commission, where it takes three of five votes to get anything done, it becomes apparent that Brickell isn't getting its fair share, and really can't. This is what led places like the Village of Key Biscayne, the Village of Pinecrest, and others to incorporate.

What choices to we have? Not so many. We can't secede. We can be more vocal and more consistent in our communications to the City government. We can be more of a presence at City Hall, attending Commission meetings. Probably, most important, more of us can vote. Politicians look at the number of actual voters when considering where they spend their energy, and our money.

We can register to vote, if we aren't already registered. We can get out and vote this November. We can make donations to the Brickell Neighborhood PAC.

And when there is an issue that we really feel strongly about, we can gather in the thousands on Brickell Avenue at rush hour. It works in other places, afterall.

Commissioner Marc Sarnoff, elected in November 2006 as District 2 Commissioner for the City of Miami, is up for re-election Nov. 6. He took office just one year ago to finish the term and vacant seat of Johnny Winton, removed from office for legal embroilments. Commissioner Sarnoff's opponents are Ellen Brickley and Ray Cantillo.

For those who would like to vote early, polls are open for a week in advance of the election date, Mon., Oct. 29 through Sun., Nov. 4. The chart to the right lists the voting locations and hours of operation. Anyone registered to vote in the City of Miami can vote early.

Two other City of Miami commissioners are also up for re-election: Angel Gonzalez for District 1 and Tomas Regaldo for District 4. Both races drew a challenger to each commissioner.

Brickell, Downtown Neighbors Turn Out on Voter Day

Thanks to the Downtown Miami Partnership, residents in Brickell and downtown high-rises got a convenient opportunity to register to vote right in their buildings on a day designed especially for the many new residents in the area. The September 18th voter registration day was organized in partnership with the League of Women Voters, the Brickell Key Master Association and BHA, and took place in 16 buildings.

Residents of the newest high-rises were offered a fast, simple, and convenient "one-stop voter shop" in their condo lobbies. Neighbors were able to register to vote for the first time, change an address on current voter registration documentation, fill out an absentee ballot form and obtain poll worker information.

About 130 voters were added and updated through the drive.

Walking Brickell Avenue

By Claudia Bruce

In a leisurely stroll along Brickell Avenue, one can't help but notice:

• ...the condition of the lot at the NE corner of 15th Rd. and Brickell with debris at the east end of the lot and a huge electrical rig on the side of 15th Road that looks precarious at best. And doesn't it make so much sense to have a bench/ad blocking the sidewalk in front of this charming lot? What a spot to take a rest!

• ...the front of UTD (1800 block of Brickell, east side) with metal poles leftover from the Wilma downed awning two years ago. Isn't the owner of the property responsible to clean up the area in front of the stone wall?

• The awful, beat-up AT&T metal box and the evacuation sign that's been in various positions on the ground behind the offensive news racks for at least a few weeks complete this forbidding enclave.

• ...the downed tree branch, with apparently no one worried about removing it, and the torn advertisement are in front of the Villa Magna lot where there is still plenty of garbage strewn inside the fencing and along the sidewalk.

• A neighborly 3-D beer bottle ad grabs attention, in case the other aesthetics fail to, even though Brickell residents were told some time back that the City was ending its relationship with the vendor and the stick-out-into-the sidewalk ads. And of course, the metal benches, a impractical material in South Florida.

• ...not shown are the new crosswalk signs that are placed on the wrong side of the avenue; there are no signs on the southbound side and now we have four on the northbound side —pure genius!

But, with all this sightseeing one might forget to be careful on our sidewalks, cracked and covered in spray paint markings.

Brickell Residents Spend Sleepless Night

All-night party had permits; Mayor Diaz vows change

If you were one of those neighbors left sleepless the night of October 8 into the morning of the 9th due to the noise from Virginia Key, your frustration was felt by many. Again BHA's advocate Claudia Bruce tried to get relief for herself and neighbors, only to find further aggravation and roadblocks to peace.

Here's the email dialog beginning with Claudia reporting to NET Administrator Liza Walton about the night that Carnival festivities were permitted all night long. It's just another example of BHA efforts to safeguard our neighborhood, and provides surprising, sad commentary on what law-abiding, tax-paying neighbors are subjected to by their own city.

Subject: 10/8 -10/9 Virginia Key Noise Complaint

Hello Liza -

I would like to sum up the disastrous effects of the Carnival that was held on Virginia Key which took place from about 7 p.m. on Monday, Oct. 8th to 6a.m. on Tuesday.

We have a situation where residents are receiving misinformation from both the non-emergency police responders and the Special Events department; residents were not able to sleep an entire night until 6 a.m. because of extreme noise from an event signed off by someone who doesn't live in the affected area. This must be remedied, and not by an ordinance that will allow promoters such outrageous noise levels until 3 a.m., nor by an ordinance that will allow waivers for noise levels or time extensions. The thousands of Brickell taxpayers should not be subjected to this type of noise past 11 p.m.

From about 7 p.m. to 9 p.m. on Monday, I and several walkers along Brickell Avenue heard terribly loud music (extremely loud and annoying bass sounds) and saw search lights emanating from Virginia Key. A lot of the walkers know me and the BHA, and they made several comments about this terrible noise. We discussed how it could not be the night clubs that used to disturb our sleep on a nightly basis several months ago, because the police had finally gotten them under control.

Paul and I received a complaint from a neighbor in the lobby of our building, the Bristol Tower, as soon as we arrived home from the walk around 9 p.m. I received further complaints from neighbors in BT as well as in Brickell Place up until 11:45 p.m. This was while I was calling the non-emergency police number to request that they do something about the noise. These are the responses received from non-emergency:

1. The first call I made was answered by a very disinterested woman who said there was nothing the police could do about the noise. It was a festival that had been going on all weekend and the promoters had a permit.

2. The second call I made was answered by a man. I asked him about the event and if the permit allowed the promoter to make any amount of noise they wanted. He said that they had a permit until 3 a.m. and that there was nothing the police could do about it. When I asked for his name, he hung up on me.

3. Paul called about 15 minutes later, and a woman told him to call the Miami-Dade Police. Since it was an event that they sponsored, they were responsible for the noise.

4. I called M-D police who told me that the City of Miami police were responsible for anything that happened on Virgina Key and that there was nothing they could do about the noise.

5. I called the City of Miami again and finally spoke to a Sgt. Rocha who said that he would speak to the event commander about the noise level. He also informed me that the event was permitted until 6am.

The noise continued through the entire night and early morning. At 8:30 a.m., I called Special Events and spoke to Officer Diaz. She said that she would forward the complaint to the event commander. When I asked who had allowed the event to take place, she said that it came from the NET Office. I asked which one – Coral Way or Downtown – and she said she didn't know, just that it came from a NET. Lt. Dominguez phoned me later in the morning and said that around 2 a.m. he had asked the promoter to lower the noise levels. I did not discern any difference in the noise levels during the event.

Liza, you told me that the NET Offices had not been informed about this event taking place, let alone sponsored it. When I mentioned this to Lt. Dominguez he laughed, and said that Eddie Padilla of the Downtown NET attended the meeting they had held regarding the event. Of course, the NET Administrators should be notified of such events, but that does nothing to help our area's residents have a normal night's sleep while we have ordinances that allow for noise waivers and time extensions – until 6 a.m.?

No major city in this country allows such disturbances to thousands of their residents. There are two very serious problems demonstrated from this event:

1. The non-emergency police response is giving out misinformation to residents and not acting in a respectful manner; hanging up on callers and telling them to call Miami-Dade police.

2. The existence of ordinances that allow events to disturb the peace beyond 11 p.m., and that can be altered by noise waivers and time extensions. The city commissioners and others responsible (something I still haven't been able to find out on this event) should not have the power to cause such outrageous disturbances to residents, especially when they do not live in the affected area.

Thank you for your assistance and quick response on Tuesday.

Best regards,
Claudia Bruce
1st Vice President, BHA

Claudia, Thank you for taking the time to document the incident on Monday night. I spoke to the City's Office of Special Events (Parks, not Police.) There were two events permitted by their Office on Virginia Key. One until 3 a.m., and another at the Bayside Hut until 6 a.m. When I mentioned that these events kept a good many residents of Brickell Avenue awake on a Monday night, they apologized, and said that it would not happen in the future.

As discussed, the City is revamping its Special Event Permit process. Sadly, because these events were on city park property, there is no requirement for notification of the NET office or the neighbors. In addition, events on city park property are precluded from any requirements regarding noise. Hopefully, the new Special Event Permitting process will address these issues.

I've asked that the Parks Department send me a courtesy notice of future events. (Since they are not in the Coral Way NET area, notice is not required.) Perhaps that way I am able to let the residents of Brickell know ahead of time, and see if we can address any concerns before the fact.

I've also copied Commander Papier so that he is aware of the issue, and so that he may address any inconsistencies in response from Police.

Kindest Regards,

Liza Gallardo Walton,

Administrator, Coral Way NET

Liza,

Thank you for your efforts to protect and enhance the Brickell Neighborhood Quality of Life. BHA & the NET Office share these goals. It appears the City does not. They are just unaware of the consequences of their collective actions.

It is my intention to discuss with our District 2 Commissioner, Marc Sarnoff, the need for the City to initiate an awareness program, a sensitivity program, perhaps along the lines of programs that raise sensitivity to sexual harassment, etc. We should have a city-wide program with leadership from the top, starting with the Administration and, in time, to all our citizens.

There should be a climate throughout the City that would make occurrences such as the one from Virginia Key last Monday night/morning impossible. If we instill a POLITENESS, GOOD MANNERS, CONSIDERATE state of mind in our community, it would benefit the residents directly and also increase tourism which is money in our pockets.

Best, Tory

Tory: I agree with you and Ms. Bruce. It is absolutely unacceptable to me that the City permit any outdoor event to run through 3 or 6 a.m. I believe we dealt with this issue previously at Bayfront Park and the hours were shortened dramatically. If these festivals find such restrictions unacceptable, they can take their festivals elsewhere. They come and they go...but our "permanent" constituents deserve a much better quality of life. This practice needs to be changed.

Manny

Thanks, Manny, it needs your leadership. You can count on BHA's support.

Miami-Dade County and FEMA launched a Wireless Emergency Alerting Program for County residents to provide updates on storm-related emergency services in the aftermath of severe weather. The program does not substitute for approaching storm advisories provided by the National Hurricane Center and media sources, but rather it will provide information on the availability of post-storm services.

Additionally, Alerts will be sent on significant non-storm-related emergencies. The County says that only messages of true importance will be conveyed. Traffic updates and other events news publicly available via the media will not be covered.

The Alert service is wireless and works on cellular phones with text messaging capabilities, Blackberry devices, pagers, etc. Not on land line phones.

There is no charge for the service with the caveat that if a person's cell phone service does not include text messaging, any additional carrier costs will the responsibility of the account-holder.

Residents may register for this service by accessing the County website, www.MiamiDade.gov. On the portal page, enter "Get Emergency Alerts On the Go" and complete the personal registration process. The County further advises that periodically, perhaps monthly, a test message will be sent to all registrants to ensure that the service is operating reliably.

For more information, contact Jaime Hernandez, Public Information Officer, Department of Emergency Management and Homeland Security at 305-468-5451.

It all started with Wayne Mark, a Brickell resident, and now a fitness inspiration to so many. He was featured in the Tropical Life section of the Miami Herald, not once, but twice.

The first time featured an introduction to this amazing 83-year-old gentlemen and his rigorous and dedicated fitness routine at The Sports Club/LA Miami at the Four Seasons Tower.

"The equipment, the variety at The Sports Club/LA Miami makes me want to go there," Mr. Mark said. "I go five times a week. You never have to repeat the same exercise the next day."

The Herald's feature about Mr. Mark inspired many older adults to begin a fitness routine, and it inspired the Club to motivate its members and Brickell neighbors to do the same. At the Club we created the "New Age of Fitness" campaign to spread this inspiration. The program ran for five weeks and focused on individuals interested in anti-aging and osteoporosis prevention with classes, lectures and social events catering solely to the senior crowd. This fast-growing population has been extremely receptive and eager.

But Mr. Mark is exceptional in many other ways as well, besides working out five days a week. For one, he has lived in the Brickell area for 43 years, when there were only two condo/apartment buildings in the entire area.

"We are probably the longest living residents in the Brickell area," he said, having lived in Point View North on Brickell Bay Drive for 10 years and the past 33 years at Bayshore Place. "It was just our building and Brickell Townhouse in the beginning."

He also has an exceptionally large number of great grandchildren, "probably the most of anyone on Brickell," he figures, with 11 great grandchildren, nine grandchildren and five children.

Mr. Mark is a decorated WWII veteran, having served in the European theater for two and half years in the 352nd fighter group, where he participated in six major campaigns, including D-Day and the Battle of the Bulge.

Mr. Mark came to Miami in 1955 to manufacture a sports line for tall women which became the largest sportswear line for a period up until 1980.

His store was Downtown on Northeast First Avenue. "Downtown was lovely in the 1950s…it was really terrific," he said. "But now, the Brickell area is the new downtown."

Clearly Mr. Mark loves life in the Brickell area, especially with all the young people who have come on the scene in the past several years.

"I have friends in retirement communities…most using walkers," he said, "and even though I'm old in years, I don't want to feel old."

Mr. Mark is enthusiastic about the many "wonderful" new restaurants at Mary Brickell Village and the energy of the crowds. It's perhaps his love of being around young people that makes him feel right at home at The Sports Club/LA which has always had a reputation of being an urban country club for networking executives and young professionals.

The New Age of Fitness was The Club's first time looking at a group that perhaps felt isolated amongst these social crowds. It's especially timely considering the first of the baby boomers are starting to collect social security!

Violette Sproul is the Marketing Manager for The Sports Club/LA Miami, owned and operated by Millennium Partners Sports Club Management, LLC. It is a 50,000-square-foot luxury sports, fitness, and wellness club designed to help members achieve a healthy balance in their lives.

Decal Parking Re-Examined for 25th Road

A little over two years ago residents on 25th Road looked into decal parking to limit street parking to residents and their visitors. Some of the Parking Authority's rules have changed, and some residents have asked BHA to facilitate looking into the matter again.

The issue first arose when some residents living along 25th Road from South Miami Avenue east to the bay were finding an increase of cars on the streets, parallel parked along the road and median. Although legally parked, they take spots that residents and their guests might need to use, oftentimes for the entire day, for free, since the street isn't metered.

Some vehicles reportedly belong to construction workers who walk, catch a ride or a bus to their nearby construction sites. Other observant residents report that cyclists use the area as a launching point, meeting in their cars and taking off en masse to Key Biscayne and other areas on bikes.

Parking meters could deter the freeloaders, but they're so unattractive that the idea wouldn't receive consideration. Resident decal parking, a method of ensuring that homeowners have access to their streets for their own parking needs, has been implemented successfully in a number of areas in Miami-Dade. Typically you see this in areas on Miami Beach that are residential but also adjoin popular commercial venues that draw visitors, their cars and a high demand for parking.

In the City of Miami and within the Brickell corridor decal parking has been instituted on Brickell Bay Drive, between 14th Street and 15th Road. Other nearby areas with the program in place include South Miami Avenue between 15th Road and SW 18th Road; the Broadway Building on 15th Road to 17th Terrace between S. Miami Avenue and Southwest 1st Avenue; and on Southwest 1st Avenue between 9th and 10th Streets. The Roads neighborhood and Coral Way neighborhoods have also enacted residential parking at $25 a year. Most hours of enforcement are 7 a.m. to 6 p.m., Monday through Friday, presumably to limit commercial encroachment during regular business hours. In the Omni and Lummus Park area, the hours go until 2 a.m.

The way the program works is fairly simple: residents who wish to park on the street purchase a resident's decal for $25 a year per vehicle. If one anticipates visitors who will need street parking, daily decals can be purchased by those same residents for $1 apiece. Repairmen, visitors for parties, families in town overnight...all would need the temporary decals.

"This is a ‘resident generated' program, NET Administrator Liza Walton explained. "That means that the residents must come together and sign a petition requesting the regulation of parking on the block. The petition must include the area proposed for residential parking, and the dates and times for enforcement. We would also need names, addresses, phone numbers and signatures of the residents or board presidents."

"If the majority agrees (51%) then the Miami Parking Authority will install signs and enforce parking in the area," she said. "Also, please be aware that residential parking decals are $25 per vehicle per year, and residents may purchase up to three per household."

Fifty-one percent of buildings, or three out of five condominium associations, have to agree to the program. Those five buildings—25 Bay Tower, Brickell Biscayne, Brickell 25, Brickell Park, and The Metropolitan—represent 565 condo units.

This is a change from the program reported on in summer 2005, when BHA was informed the rules were that 100% had to be in agreement.

The effort on Brickell Bay Drive, which required agreement from some 700 residents, took a year, BHA News reported in summer 2005. The residents advocating for it kept at it and got all those involved to agree. They were experiencing construction workers parking there early in the morning for the entire day, leaving residents with limited building and guest parking no where to go. Now, one resident who has lived there for many years says "it's like having your own private street."

If you're a resident in the 25th Road area and have an opinion about resident decal parking, for or against, let us hear from you. Send us an email.
