Independent Journalism in Miami Needs You
We need to raise $10,000 by August 9 to support the reporting our community depends on. Reader support keeps us independent and is playing a larger role in funding local journalism and shaping what comes next. If you believe independent local journalism matters, make a contribution today.
The City of Miami is suing Florida over keeping sex offenders under the Julia Tuttle Causeway, but the Department of Transportation said the suit should have been filed on their home turf in Leon County.
A judge ruled today that the lawsuit can continue in Miami-Dade.
The city is alleging that even the sex offenders’ current “home” under the bridge violates laws that say they can’t live within 2,500 feet of parks, schools, or other places children gather because the site is in range of Picnic Island No. 4, a park reachable only by boat.
