Virginia Street Closure – Updated
David Collins
Executive Director
Coconut Grove Business Improvement District (BID)
Dear Mr Collins,
This email is an amendment to the Public Records Request I submitted earlier this afternoon. I would like to broaden Bullet Point 2 to state the following: “Copies of all memos, text messages, instant messages, emails, and letters between yourself, Commissioner Sarnoff, Ron Nelson and your staff where the content of the correspondence includes mention of the Virginia Street Closure.”
I look forward to your prompt compliance with this request.
Respectfully,
Stephen Murray

Mr. Collins,
In a post on the Coconut Grove Grapevine, Tom Falco has offered some new details about the proposed Virginia Street closure at Grand Avenue. This fast-paced movement comes as a surprise to me. From my understanding, this was something that has not been discussed at length, nor have the residents that live in the surrounding streets been notified, myself included. Since this seems to be on the fast-track, let this email serve as a Public Records Request for the following:
1. Copies of all relevant plans related to the creation of the Virginia Street closure including maps, traffic studies, review by the City of Miami Fire Department, and budgets.
2. Copies of all emails between yourself, Commissioner Sarnoff, Ron Nelson and your staff where the content of the correspondence includes mention of the Virginia Street Closure.
3. A transcript of the BID meeting where this project was discussed.
Given the time-line of this project, it would be wise for your office to comply with this request in a timely matter or provide me with any reasons you cannot.
Respectfully submitted,
Stephen Murray
