Bicentennial Park Under Siege from Museums- It's No Done Deal

     Bicentennial Park is Miami's last open space and is under siege from the Miami Art Museum and the Miami Museum of Science. We are not against museums but are against taking the last large green space on the Miami waterfront for two non-water related buildings. The money, drawn from a city and a county bond issue, will clearly not pay for the grand designs that are envisioned by the museums. We are concerned that another financial fiasco will take place like that of the Performing Arts Center. This website is designed to create public interest in quality public spaces in Miami as well as a better public process (there has been almost none) and more fiscal responsibility in completing public projects.

 
 We do not want another Watson Island glumped up with to many buildings and to little open space designed on a human scale for ALL OUR PEOPLE. Miami neighborhoods need more parks and community centers, job training centers and other ammenities.  We don't need an art museum that primarily caters to the rich, a museum with no major collection. We dont need to be spending more than $400 million in taxpayer dollars and "free" land for a place where the public will have to pay through the nose to get in. There's something wrong with that picture.  Yet we need to organize to stop the stupid train carrying socialism for the rich into absurd domains.
