Cava says she will make good on her campaign promises with the help of a pro-transit nonprofit and its appropriately named plan.

A bicyclist struck by a Miami-Dade police vehicle plans to sue the department for his medical costs, lost wages, and mental anguish.

Some local businesses say they felt invigorated by the pedestrian era of Ocean Drive and are disappointed with the return of car traffic.

Some local officials believe rentable bikes and scooters are essential to residents and should be brought back.

Since Miami-Dade County Mayor Carlos Gimenez issued a stay-at-home order last week, snarled traffic is a thing of the past.

Blocked sidewalks have almost become a fixture of Brickell, where creeping construction and runaway development have put a squeeze on pedestrians.

If you don’t want to be stuck in traffic waiting for tens of thousands of runners to traverse the road, avoid these areas this weekend.

“The tragedy is not only that Flavia died. The tragedy is that her death did not result in any action.”

Prepare for the once-in-a-decade transit headaches promised by Super Bowl LIV.

Brightline has killed people at a constant and startling clip.

Miamians have their own version of the DMV handbook. Between the speeding, hit-and-runs, honking, and lack of turn signals, driving in Miami-Dade County should come with a warning sign.

It’s not enough that cyclists in Miami must contend with hostile, aggressive drivers and roadways that are dangerous by design. Apparently, now cyclists have to dodge bullets too.

In Miami, a city where almost 77 percent of people speak a language other than English at home, the language barrier between rideshare drivers and passengers can be pretty real — so real, in fact, that one bilingual Miamian wrote an open letter asking Uber to implement a language option.

As part of a six-month pilot program pitched by Commissioner Ken Russell, six startups will be allowed to deploy their scooters in Miami. The companies — including Bird, Spin, Lime, and Bolt — will start with 50 each, meaning literally hundreds of scooters could appear overnight.

If you thought the thousands of people trying to get to Ultra would be your only traffic headache this weekend, prepare for some bad news. Today isn’t just the first day the music festival tests its plan for transporting hordes of EDM lovers to Virginia Key. It’s also the last Friday of the month, which means cyclists with Critical Mass will take over local roads for several hours.

If you were on South Beach this past Monday afternoon, you might have noticed a yellow Corvette driving erratically down Fifth Street, darting onto a sidewalk near Flamingo Park, and then crashing into a fire hydrant near Fourth Street and Lenox Avenue — all while being chased by Miami Beach Police.

At the end of July, the Florida Department of Transportation closed two westbound lanes on the MacArthur Causeway, kicking off a two-year, $12.9 million rehabilitation project on one of the two main links between Miami and Miami Beach. The repairs must take place, FDOT says, because the causeway is dangerously corroded, in large part as a result of years of salt spray from Jet Skis blasting the structure.

We’ve all been there: It’s 8 a.m. Monday morning, and you’re sitting in standstill traffic on I-95 or the Turnpike or the Dolphin Expressway, wishing you were still asleep. Some jagweed cuts you off at the exit ramp, you hit every red light thereafter, and you get to work at least ten minutes late.

The MacArthur Causeway is dangerously corroded, the Florida Department of Transportation says, in large part from years of salt spray from Jet Skis blasting beneath one of the two main links between downtown Miami and South Beach. FDOT’s solution, though, is already leaving Miami Beach politicians and residents fuming.

For years, swarms of local cyclists have been taking over city streets the last Friday of every month in a massive — and notoriously traffic-snarling — celebration of bike culture. Today they have another reason to ride: in honor of cyclists lost to distracted driving, especially Patrick Wanninkhof, a Key Biscayne native killed in 2015 while on a cross-country trip.
