Itâs deja vu all over again.
The Islamorada Village Council will hear a report on The Fills, a narrow area between Mile Marker 77 and Mile Marker 79 surrounded by water that is used by visitors for recreation, and from Mayor Buddy Pinder about halting the Florida Department of Transportation pedestrian bridge project, for which the moving of utilities began to facilitate the overpass at Founders Park.
Pinderâs Jan. 20 letter addressed to Gov. Ron DeSantis asked the state to halt the project and look at safety alternatives. He cites a 2016 FDOT feasibility study that said the overpass is unwarranted at a cost of $1.2 million. The current cost of $4.68 million, plus concern for aesthetics and questionable need for the project prompted the letter, which was approved by council at its last meeting. The completion date was expected in early 2022.
