Please place on the February 1, 2023 agenda a referral to the Public Safety and Neighborhood Quality of Life Committee to discuss whether the City Commission should formally request that Miami-Dade County improve its responsiveness in addressing street lighting outages or repairs along Miami-Dade County roads located within the City of Miami Beach.
On several occasions, I received complaints from residents relating to street lighting outages or other issues with street lighting not working properly under the jurisdiction of Miami-Dade County. In at least one instance, it took the County well over a month to address the street lighting that was out despite numerous reminders and requests that I personally made. This is an important issue that should be prioritized, as adequate street lighting improves visibility for pedestrians and motorists alike, and is an important tool for achieving overall public safety.
