Stop Large-Scale Development on the 168 acres of green space in Calusa, West Kendall

A Resident of our Community has asked that we forward the following information to our residents.

For the last several years, our community has seen the result of the over development within our neighborhood.  The number one complaint we receive from our community members & residents is regarding the traffic on 122nd Ave and Killian Parkway (SW 104th St) and all traffic related issues that come with the increased population density which our streets were not meant to handle.  There are plans to redevelop the Calusa Golf course into a proposed 550 home development.  That would mean that for each home of the size they plan to build, 3 to 4 cars/vehicles would inevitably come with it.  That would mean that there is a potential of up to 2,200 additional cars on the roads impacting your commute to work or school if you need to go through Killian or 122nd Ave. If you plan to take Kendall Drive, it would also be worse off.  There are also impacts to the wildlife and surrounding environment.

So how could this happen or how could it even be allowed? The Board of County Commissioners voted to allow the current owner of the land to be released of the covenant that prevented them from building homes there. What can be done about it? Residents wishing to oppose the redevelopment are asked to file a letter of protest. That can be done by Clicking Here.
