Coconut Grove: A State of Mind


STOP Grove Gridlock Campaign

PETITION
STOP GROVE GRIDLOCK!
To:
Historic & Environmental Preservation Board (HEPB), Planning, Zoning & Appeals Board (PZAB) and City of Miami Officials

COCONUT GROVE NEEDS YOU: BE A B.I.G. VOICE advocating for the climate resilience of our coastal community and protect the Historic Preservation Overlay District of the Villa Woodbine site.

Join B.I.G., VOTE NO! DENY approval of Carrollton’s proposed elementary school for 336 boys and 50 faculty at VILLA WOODBINE located at 2167 South Bayshore Drive. The site is located less than 150 yards from Ransom Everglades Middle School and directly across the street from KENNEDY PARK.

STOP Grove Gridlock! This an unnecessary development, since there are 17 schools located in Coconut Grove serving over 6700 students when the Grove has approximately an area that is 5 square miles and 21,000 residents.

The impact to the City of Miami’s neighborhoods is even greater traffic bottlenecks that will impose an immense burden on our quality of life, with gridlock causing increased pollution and toxic traffic fumes, and the loss of our most personal measurable resource, our time and money. Especially for the residents of Coconut Grove – where school traffic congestion is already crippling.

Removing EIGHTY PERCENT (80%) of its existing 220 trees stated in Carrollton’s survey and arborist report will destroy Villa Woodbine’s mature and lush tree canopy, green space and the site’s protected historic and natural resources. The footprint SF of new construction will be 8 times larger than the Villa, and will add over 104,000 SF of non-pervious surface. These factors pose a grave hazard to the resilience of an already delicate coastal corridor area and will likely create flooding of surrounding properties.

Approving a new school at the historic Villa Woodbine property at 2167 S Bayshore Drive poses risks to the City of Miami that we cannot afford!

Updates

3D of Carrollton's proposed Woodbine School at 2167 S Bayshore Dr. It has massive and out of scale structures (47,000 sf 2-story Building & 9,500 sf Auditorium)

3D of Carrollton's proposed Woodbine School at 2167 S Bayshore Dr. It has massive and out of scale structures (47,000 sf 2-story Building & 9,500 sf Auditorium) that are incompatible with the existing 5700 historic VILLA WOODBINE & incongruent with the single family homes in neighborhood - Stand up for the climate resilience of our coastal community and protection of the Historic Preservation Overlay District of the Villa Woodbine site. Please SHARE our Online Petition via social media and email, and ask your friends and neighbors to sign it. We have almost 1000 signatures - let's triple that effort! Be a local voice and make a global difference. https://bayshoreingrove.org

The school should not be placed at the proposed location. Please take the community's interests into account.
Wallace Y Dalton 18.02.2021 at 16:09
We do not need any more schools in Coconut Grove. They cause congestions on already crowded streets, increase taxes and the likelihood of car/pedestrian accidents. Not to mention, you are trying to destroy what makes the Grove beautiful by cutting down our beautiful trees and destroying parts of the eco-system and wildlife habitats. Furthermore, it is absurd that non-Grove Miami residents, developers and politicians are the ones pushing this project when the mass majority of actual Grove residents do NOT want this project to happen. This is the same concept as when we voted for Grove Beautification several years ago and 91% of Grove residents voted against it but the City of Miami residents voted for it, so it passed. Stop bulldozing (literally) your way into the Grove and going against the current, long-standing residents wishes. Just 'hearing' their concerns and then doing what you want to do anyway is plain wrong, greedy, and abhorrent. We do NOT need or want another Brickell or City Centre!
Nancy Rubin 18.02.2021 at 03:16
I object to turning this property into yet another school in the area. This will effect traffic tremendously and the plan to remove all of the specimen trees and other trees on the property is very out of order in the grove. This will cause more traffic gridlock and additional traffic congestion.
Alfred Teger 17.02.2021 at 20:42
Please deny the approval of Carrollton's elementary school for boys. We do not need more traffic here, as well as the loss of the tree canopy.
Pamela Rodriguez 17.02.2021 at 20:24
I think the school there would be a nightmare for traffic congestion! And, destroy the beautiful tree canopy that makes Coconut Grove so special.
Jeanne Gelbert 17.02.2021 at 18:35
I lived at 3628 St Gaudens Road in Coconut Grove from mid 60’s to mud 70’s. All the trees were what made it so unique and pleasant to be there. Please reconsider destroying what makes the Grove so unique ❣️
Marilyn Himmel 17.02.2021 at 15:57
It would be criminal\ to allow this zone change. South bayshore Drive is flood prone and single lane much of the way. Why make it impossible for people to get around the real by massive increase of traffic.
Joe stone 16.02.2021 at 23:51
Do not over build the Grove. We have enough big buildings keep the trees don’t over congested thr streets.
Janet McAliley 16.02.2021 at 21:53
There are already an abundance of schools in Coconut Grove. Please care about our tree canopy and our the conjestion of Bayshore Drive and central Grove.
Jo Ann Mayer 12.02.2021 at 22:16
I strongly oppose building a school on this historic property. Our history needs to be preserved and trees protected. Bayshore Drive can be a traffic nightmare at times. We do not need any more cars on Bayshore drive.
