A newly surfaced map documenting water taxi routes for next year’s Miami Boat Show has Village of Key Biscayne officials and environmentalists up in arms. The proposed map, meant to alleviate traffic on Virginia Key Beach during the five-day event, crisscrosses protected manatee zones and critical wildlife areas.
The map indicates it was submitted in a proposal March 30, but Key Biscayne Mayor Mayra Lindsay first saw it a few days ago after submitting a records request. Because of a lack of transparency from boat show officials, Lindsay explains, the process hasn’t been easy. “Were just trying to figure out what’s going on here because this is all moving so fast,” she says.
