A recent survey reveals that 79% of Miami Beach residents favor extending the Metromover service to South Beach, despite opposition from local elected officials. Funded by the Citizens' Independent Transit Trust, this poll shows that even among those unaware of the $1 billion proposal, 67% support it. The survey was conducted amid heated local debates where some residents expressed their dissent vocally, but advocates like Meg Daly emphasize that the majority want this transit solution, even if not all participate in public discussions.
Miami Beach's elected leaders oppose extending Metromover service to South Beach - but the city's residents strongly support the county transit project, according to a new tax-funded poll.
The survey found 79% of Miami Beach residents support a mass-transit link to the mainland. While 40% of residents surveyed weren't aware of the $1 billion Metromover proposal, the plan had the "strong" support of 67% of those who knew about it.
Meg Daly, a member of the county's Citizens' Independent Transportation Trust, stated that the survey results were "very strong" and indicated that the average Miami Beach resident wants Metromover even if they're not rallying for it.
A lot of people don't show up and speak up, yet the support for the Metromover extension among Miami Beach residents demonstrates a clear demand for better transit options.
