Miami-Dade County Mayor Daniella Levine Cava recently announced the decision to scrap the proposed $2.5 billion municipal bond referendum in favor of a more comprehensive plan that includes funding for transit projects. The original bond referendum, known as “305 Future Ready,” was intended to finance infrastructure projects such as affordable housing, flood prevention, and resilient parks. However, it did not allocate any funds for transportation initiatives, which was a significant concern for the community.
In a statement released on Instagram, Mayor Levine Cava acknowledged the feedback from residents and stakeholders about the need for a transit plan in the bonding proposal. She emphasized the importance of addressing the county’s biggest challenges and transforming its future through a more inclusive and robust approach. The new plan will involve extensive public input and engagement over the next 18 months to ensure transparency and accountability in the process.
The mayor highlighted the importance of building public commitment and trust in the new bonding proposal to garner support from residents. She expressed confidence that the revised plan, which will be presented for a vote in November 2026, will receive stronger backing for its bold, visionary, and fiscally responsible initiatives. Despite facing challenges in affordable housing and transportation, Mayor Levine Cava remains optimistic about the county’s ability to address these issues effectively.
As Mayor Levine Cava seeks reelection in the upcoming mayoral election on Aug. 20, she aims to continue her tenure with a renewed focus on transit and infrastructure development. Her commitment to implementing a comprehensive and forward-thinking plan for Miami-Dade County reflects her dedication to serving the community’s needs and fostering sustainable growth. With ongoing support from residents and stakeholders, Mayor Levine Cava is poised to lead the county into a new era of progress and innovation.
Mayor Daniella Levine Cava’s decision to forego the $2.5 billion bond referendum in favor of a more inclusive and transit-focused plan signifies a strategic shift in Miami-Dade County’s approach to infrastructure development. By listening to community feedback, engaging with stakeholders, and prioritizing public trust, Mayor Levine Cava demonstrates strong leadership and vision for the county’s future. As she continues her campaign for reelection, her commitment to responsible and accountable governance sets the stage for a transformative period of growth and opportunity in Miami-Dade County.
