Little River Park

From the Open Media Miami article on the Little River Park that FIND Commissioner Spencer Crowley detailed on our bus tour:

The city’s long delayed and much anticipated plan to purchase -- with grant and state funding -- a 1.2 acre parcel of waterfront land by the Little River near NE 79th Street moved one step closer to finally happening Thursday, but several steps still need to be taken before the convoluted saga of the proposed Manatee Bay Park comes to a close.

On Thursday, Commissioner Marc Sarnoff’s office authorized the use of $3,400 in “quality of life bond dollars” to pay for the appraisal of the property that the city plans to use to create the park.

UEL BUS TOUR: Spencer Crowley Talks about Property Purchase For Park On Little River

FIND Commissioner, Spencer Crowley joins the bus to tell a little bit about a property available for purchase with Florida Inland Navigation District funds and City of Miami matching funds, from Bayside Marketplace returns, to buy an acre and a 1/4 lot on the Little River. The property would be used as a mini-park for the Upper East Side. FINE money can only be used for projects on navigable water. People could view the manatees that go up Miami's Little River in winter months.
