Several workshops held by the Task Force have produced proposed solutions and areas needing further discussion regarding many mutual problems and concerns. The Task Force has asked the City of Sunny Isles Beach to join them in supporting the Miami- Dade County Metropolitan Planning Organization (MPO) funding for the South Florida East Coast Corridor Transit Analysis.
