• Coral Gables gives $500K for Underline as it prepares to make tough choices ahead (miamiherald.com) — Coral Gables commissioners have voted to shift $500,000 from other city projects to help operate and maintain The Underline, the linear park that runs three miles through the city. That support, plus $180,000 for 2026, may mean delays or cuts to sidewalks, crosswalks and traffic-calming projects as officials brace for possible future tax revenue losses and weigh competing priorities for residents' dollars.
• From Gainesville to Miami: These 5 Florida universities rank among the nation's top 100 schools for 2027 (secretmiami.com) — Local students in Coral Gables can take pride that the University of Miami, based right in the city, ranks No. 55 nationally and tops the Miami metro in U.S. News' 2027 Best Colleges list. The story also spotlights other Florida universities in the top 100, underscoring the state's growing academic reputation and options for residents considering in-state schools.
