Judge rips Miami Beach for failing to open Ocean Drive to two-way traffic
Briefly

A Miami-Dade Circuit Court judge has ordered Miami Beach to comply with her directive to reopen Ocean Drive to two-way vehicle traffic, challenging city officials' attempts to circumvent her authority. Judge Beatrice Butchko Sanchez requires the city to remove a pedestrian plaza and make changes from Fifth to 13th Streets, which also entails Taking down bike lanes. Despite the ongoing appeal, the judge insists the city cannot delay compliance, leading to tensions highlighted by comments from Mayor Steven Meiner who disagrees with the ruling.
"It's the law and common sense that cities determine traffic patterns and pedestrian plazas for the safety and enjoyment of their residents, not the courts." - Miami Beach Mayor Steven Meiner
