Riviera Beach leaders have approved a nine-month study of how to make it easier for city residents to use public transportation.
Why it matters: As Riviera Beach grows, there will be more places to go and more traffic trying to get there.
What’s happening: The City Council serving as the Community Redevelopment Agency board approved the mobility study by a 4-1 vote on Dec. 10. Council Member KaShamba Miller-Anderson voted no, saying she supports a mobility study but not the consultant selected.
What they’re saying: “This project is probably as important or more important than bringing a building out of the ground,” Council Member Glen Spiritis said at the meeting. “Without this mobility project, we will have no development. It will never work.”
