Alley vacation — N Miami Ave

Buena Vista Stakeholders chair opposed the alley closure, warning it would redirect Design District cut-through traffic into the neighborhood.

Buena Vista Heights Neighborhood Association president opposed, saying residents rely on the alley to exit onto North Miami Avenue and avoid I-195 ramp backups.

Resident strongly opposed, saying neighbors use the alley daily to walk dogs and cut through North Miami Avenue traffic.

Longtime resident (60+ years) opposed, noting the alley is used by families, dog walkers and children on bikes.

Lifelong neighborhood resident opposed, citing daily use of the alley and concerns that new development raises property taxes and displaces families.

Elderly resident of 81 NW 40th Street spoke in Spanish (interpreted): she parks and does laundry in the rear, needs alley access for deliveries and emergencies, and opposes closure.
