Today's riddle: Who's in favor of bringing back Roman Numerals? 🤔 (Answer below!)
1. Miami commissioners unanimously fund Allapattah CRA despite ongoing legal dispute with Miami-Dade County (cbsnews.com) — Miami city commissioners have voted to immediately fund the new Allapattah Community Redevelopment Agency from the city's general fund, despite an unresolved dispute with Miami-Dade County over long-term financing. The move aims to jump-start long-delayed infrastructure, housing, and economic improvements in Allapattah while the city prepares legal action and awaits further talks with the county.
2. Before Riding Helmet-Free in Miami, Know Florida's Helmet Insurance Rule in 2026 (miamilivingmagazine.com) — If you ride a motorcycle helmet-free in Miami, state law still requires at least $10,000 in specific medical-benefits coverage, and that amount may barely touch real crash costs. This guide walks Miami adults through insurance proof, lane-splitting rules, and what records to keep so a legal helmet exemption doesn't turn into overwhelming medical bills after a crash.
3. 2 construction workers OK after scaffolding collapse in Miami (wsvn.com) — Two construction workers were dramatically rescued after their scaffold collapsed on the upper floors of the Terraza Condo building along Northwest South River Drive in Miami. Fellow crew members maneuvered additional suspended platforms to pull the men to safety before firefighters arrived, and officials say no one was injured or needed hospital treatment.
4. Palmetto Bay is most reliant on homestead property taxes in Miami-Dade, making Amendment 3 a big risk, mayor says (cbsnews.com) — Homeowners in nearby Palmetto Bay, one of Miami-Dade's most homestead-dependent communities, could see village services cut if statewide Amendment 3 passes and sharply reduces taxable home values. Local leaders warn of multimillion-dollar budget gaps that might affect policing and parks, while residents weigh property tax relief against the risk of losing amenities they rely on.
