In a recent government meeting, officials emphasized the urgent need for collaboration with county representatives to address ongoing concerns regarding the Coral Hills area. The discussions highlighted the importance of engaging with County Commissioner Yudine to ensure that community needs are prioritized, particularly in light of upcoming developments that could impact local traffic patterns.
Officials noted that Coral Hills has become a focal point due to its status as a main collector road, especially as new projects are set to commence. They proposed organizing a community meeting specifically for Coral Hills to keep residents informed about developments and to foster a more hands-on approach to local issues.
The meeting also touched on two priority projects—Fortieth Street and Cardinal—both of which have been the subject of regular discussions with county officials. The commitment to securing funding for these projects remains strong, with ongoing communication with key county personnel, including Assistant County Administrator Michael Ruiz.
Matthew Scott, a zoning attorney representing a development team, acknowledged community concerns regarding traffic on Coral Hills. He confirmed that efforts are underway to meet with county officials to discuss potential changes to traffic light configurations, with a meeting scheduled for December. Scott emphasized that while the development team is proactive in addressing these issues, the ultimate decision lies with the county.
The meeting concluded with a call for continued transparency and communication with residents, reinforcing the commitment to improving Coral Hills and ensuring that community voices are heard in the planning process.
