📰 News we're reading
• Controversial 87th Ave. bridge opens for traffic (communitynewspapers.com) — Drivers in Cutler Bay now have a new north-south route as the long-debated SW 87th Avenue bridge between Cutler Bay and Palmetto Bay is officially open, promising shorter commutes and faster emergency response times. Local leaders remain split over neighborhood traffic impacts, but Cutler Bay officials say the added connectivity should improve mobility and safety across South Dade. 
• Man arrested for reckless school bus driving in southwest Miami-Dade (prismnews.com) — An unlicensed driver was arrested after allegedly operating an unregistered yellow school bus in the Cutler Bay area, raising fresh concerns about who is allowed behind the wheel of vehicles carrying children. With Miami-Dade’s massive school bus system and new camera enforcement program, the case underscores how one unsafe stop in Cutler Bay can test the safeguards meant to protect students.
