West Miami commissioners announce golf carts may be driven on local residential streets
Summary
Commissioners Gusta Biles and Juan Blas announced that residents may drive golf carts on local residential streets and urged anyone with questions to contact City Hall. The pair offered slightly different phrasing about where carts are permitted; residents should check with the city for specifics.
Commissioner Gusta Biles told residents that they may drive golf carts on local residential streets during an opening announcement at a City of West Miami meeting. "And did you know that you can drive a golf cart on all of the residential streets within the city?" she said.
Commissioner Juan Blas, who introduced himself after Biles, reiterated that golf carts are permitted but used slightly different wording, saying, "as long as you stay within the inner City Street, you can have a golf cart." Blas also invited residents to contact City Hall for more information: "If you need additional information, please do not hesitate to contact City Hall."
The two commissioners closed with friendly remarks encouraging residents to greet elected officials and neighbors who drive golf carts. The announcement did not cite a specific city ordinance, code section, or enforcement details in the transcript, and speakers did not specify any equipment, safety, or licensing requirements.
Residents seeking clarity on the scope of the allowance or any restrictions should contact City Hall for the official rule and guidance from municipal staff. The meeting continued after the announcement.
