What Your Village Is Doing

Bike & Pedestrian Master Plan

The Village adopted a Bicycle & Pedestrian Master Plan in September 2009 to meet the future transportation needs of residents who prefer to walk or bike in the Village. It was formulated with significant public involvement, a steering committee, consisting of a Village Council member, a Village staff member, Technical Consultant, MPO Member, County Commission Liaison, Industry Expert, and Several Citizens.

Each advisory board member must be knowledgeable in at least one of the identified fields of: urban planning; landscape architecture; or be a tree-related professional such as a forestry professor, nursery operator, arborist, or be an other environmental civic activist.

Village Commuter Bus

In 2006, the Village of Palmetto Bay launched a much-needed intra-Village bus service in full compliance with Miami-Dade County policy, as directed by the staff of the Citizens’ Independent Transportation Trust (CITT) and the County Attorney's Office. The service was designed to increase the number of destinations that can be reached via fixed public routes throughout Palmetto Bay and surrounding areas, as well as to connect with Miami-Dade Transit routes and the very popular busway. For more information, visit the IBus Commuter page.
