The Mayor and the Rickenbacker: Daniella Levine Cava
08/20/21 • 51 min
It's one of Miami's biggest public projects -- rebuilding the iconic Rickenbacker Causeway connecting islands with the mainland. Our guest -- before a live studio audience -- is Miami-Dade County Mayor Daniella Levine Cava , who is proposing a privatization plan.
In Key Biscayne, some leaders say the plan is too oriented to cyclists and doesn't go far enough to address other needs. We ask the mayor about the project and how it might change as it moves forward through a complex process.
A special thanks to Crossbridge Church Key Biscayne and the Key Biscayne Community Foundation for event assistance in helping with our first live studio audience. And thanks to those who attended! We hope to do it again soon!
