Green Areas Environmental Benefits: Doctors Hospital Parking and Canal

September 4, 2020 Leave a comment

The local canal waterways provide very significant environmental and community benefits along the canal to our residents.

This is especially evidenced along University Blvd in front Doctors Hospital at the corner of Pisano Ave.

The many community benefits of the green areas:

  • Provide wildlife habitat (birds, fish, reptiles, manatees…) diversity
  • Traffic calming and noise mitigation
  • Impeding views of car traffic, valet parking, buses and ambulances
  • Impeding view of Doctors Hospital buildings
  • Mitigate Doctors Hospital lighting
  • Wind and temperature mitigation in storms and hurricanes
  • CO2 capture
  • Favor canal users’ recreational boating and fishing
  • Bolster local property values

UNIVERSITY OF MIAMI: Test Infection Rate High

Source: University of Miami Weekly Testing and Incidence Rate

Evidence is that the testing is rather low and the % infection is high. UM should do more random tests.

UM students are walking around Coral Gables in public with their masks in hand. They put on the masks when they step on the campus. This is better than nothing, but this is not a serious following of city, community and UM guidance and rules.

COVID DEATHS AND INFECTIONS FLOOR? FLORIDA

August 29, 2020 Leave a comment

With the State of Fl and the Mayor of Miami-Dade opening back up, allowing 13,000 crowds at football games, casinos are opening and the bystanders commenting that everything is great now, there is real danger that most of the fall in deaths and infections is almost over.

Clearly, politicians do not care enough about the number of deaths and infections except those that are so bad that people will not tolerate it.

Politicians are racing to the date of their elections hoping that the declines will continue. Don’t believe them.

PS: The President of the University of Miami wisely has forebidden students to attend the first two home games, and prohibited alcohol at the home games.
