Miami-Dade Transit has been conducting public meetings and workshops in the neighboring East-West communities since June 2006. During this process, the transit study team has presented alternatives and alignments for the corridor, as part of the Supplemental Environmental Impact Statement. Valuable community input has been received on many aspects of the project, including the alignment, the station location options, and how these stations might best be integrated into the nearby neighborhoods.

The next series of public corridor meetings will present the outcome of that participation. They also offer another opportunity for the community to express their comments and concerns. At this time Miami-Dade Transit will present and seek comments on a new alignment option which will extend from the Dolphin Expressway (SR 836) to the entrance of Florida International University along 107th Avenue. Residents are welcome to attend the meeting location most convenient to them. The public’s input is essential to the success of the East-West Transit Corridor Study.
