Mid-Beach sewer pump station at 42nd and Alton would get a resident review, limited to landscaping
The design is 100% complete. A Dominguez resolution would send the station's look to a neighborhood committee without delaying the project.
A planned sewer pump station at or near 42nd Street and Alton Road in Mid-Beach would go before the city’s Neighborhood Resiliency Projects Committee for a look at its landscaping under a resolution on the Nov. 18 Miami Beach City Commission agenda.
The station has drawn “significant interest” from Mid-Beach residents about its design, appearance, landscaping and fit with the neighborhood, says the resolution (item C7 X), sponsored by Commissioner Laura Dominguez. It calls the station a key part of the city’s wastewater system and notes that Alton Road there is a gateway into and out of Miami Beach.
The design is already 100% complete, the resolution says, and under city code, pausing or materially changing a project at that stage can require more commission action and add cost and delay. So the committee’s review would be limited to landscaping and similar aesthetic changes, and the project would keep moving. The resolution also asks that the committee be briefed earlier on future projects, before major milestones.
The item lists no cost and gives no exact site, construction dates or size for the station. It was not reached at the Oct. 14 meeting. The commission meets at 8:30 a.m. Nov. 18 at City Hall, 1700 Convention Center Drive.
