BIKERS SPOKEN FOR: A state pilot project that allows bicyclists access to "limited access freeways" will include the Lehman Causeway between Aventura and Sunny Isles Beach, as recommended by the Bicycle/Pedestrian Advisory Committee, according to a report to the Miami-Dade County Metropolitan Planning Organization Governing Board. The Florida Department of Transportation [FDOT] District Six Bicycle/Pedestrian Coordinator's office reviewed the bike access. According to the report, modifications are being designed to reduce conflicts on and off the causeway. "More miles of bike facilities are being designed on FDOT roads," the report said. Bicycle magazine has ranked Miami 34th on its list of bike-friendly cities. A bike share program is coming to downtown Miami, and three new bike parking corrals will be installed in the Wynwood neighborhood, the report said. Northwest and Northeast 29th streets between Northwest Seventh and Northeast Second avenues are expected to be reduced from four to two lanes with bike lanes. NEW BOSS: Marcum LLP, a national accounting and advisory firm, has named Cecelia Garber partner-in-charge of the Florida region. She will be responsible for overseeing growth of the firm's Florida operations. Ms. Garber has been frequently called upon for expert testimony in court cases in Miami-Dade, Broward and Palm Beach counties. She also has provided "forensic accounting services in the areas of matrimonial litigation support, fraud investigation, personal injury damage calculation, commercial business damage calculation and business valuation, the firm said. She is succeeding Gary Gross, who was instrumental in Rachlin LLP's transition and merger with Marcum, the firm said. |
