An Open Letter to Ana Rivas-Logan, District 7

The following letter was mailed and faxed to the office of Ms. Rivas-Logan on Monday, April 21, 2008...

Ms. Rivas-Logan,

Please accept our formal invitation to attend our upcoming meeting with Miami-Dade Schools regarding the development of high school HHH-1 at the intersection of southwest 160 Street and 152 Avenue. As you are aware, this meeting has been called by our group of concerned homeowners who feel this major project has been pursued without the benefit of public scrutiny. Due to our concerns regarding significant impacts to roads, traffic patterns, noise, property values and crime, we have requested that the school board present our residents with their plans for this new school on Wednesday, April 30 at 7:30 p.m. at Jorge Mas Canosa Middle School, at 15735 SW 144 ST.

I greatly appreciate the opportunity afforded me to address the School Board last Wednesday. I hope my call for a temporary pause in preconstruction is quickly heeded as the site continues to see much activity even as I write his letter. I would like to also take this opportunity to remind you of your pledge at our first meeting to have your staff look into alternate locations for this school. All the residents eagerly await to hear the results of this investigation.

Again, please accept this letter as notice of our emphatic opposition to this project. We hope you will take seriously our concerns and be available to attend this upcoming gathering. Your presence would be most welcome.

Please feel free to contact me should you have any questions regarding this issue.

Sincerely,


Larry Perez
Citizens of Greater Stonewood
