Neighbors seek emergency order to halt University Drive dog park
What's moving in the Gables this week, from civic decisions to weekend concerts.
Neighbors seek emergency order to halt University Drive dog park
A neighborhood association and a Coral Gables resident have asked a Miami-Dade judge to stop the city from acting on its planned off-leash dog park at 520 University Drive. The request seeks to head off a July 7 City Commission vote that could remove a key zoning restriction tied to the site. The emergency order would pause city action before commissioners take up the question. The dispute centers on the zoning restriction that currently applies to the location and whether it should be lifted to allow the park to move forward. Residents who want to weigh in have until the July 7 vote to make their case to the commission. (Coral Gables Gazette)

Beachgoers hoping to swim at Coral Gables' Matheson Hammock Park atoll pool found it closed after more than 100 dead fish floated to the surface earlier this month, with many washing up along the shoreline. The incident occurred June 13. The atoll pool remains closed following the fish kill, so anyone planning a visit should make other arrangements for now. (Coral Gables Gazette)
