transparency and accountability.

Preservation Miami
Preservation Miami is a new initiative that showcases what our great City has
to offer with its history.
This new initiative will provide information on our areas with historic significance
as well as information on our great neighborhoods throughout the City.
It is a false philosophy that everything new is better, with new technologies we
can make our historic areas green, pedestrian friendly, and economical. We will
take input from the residents, the stakeholders of our City. We will work within
our departments to ensure that the charm of our areas remain congruent.
Bike Initiatives
Mayor Regalado is a strong supporter of the City of Miami Bike Master Plan and Bike Miami Days.
He has continuously shared his support to create safer streets for City of Miami cyclists.
The City of Miami created a citywide Bicycle Master Plan. The master plan is the city's
guiding document and one of the steps aimed at creating a diverse set of transportation alternatives.
It supports a lively, active city for all residents and guests. The master plan's development includes
2 public summits (input sessions), the collection of existing data and analysis in a report, a bicycle
parking study, the development of bicycle parking standards/guidelines, an updated bicycle network map,
educational materials, and evaluation tools for use by City staff involved in coordinating, planning,
designing, and constructing bicycle lanes and facilities within the city's limits.
Recovery Miami
The City of Miami is in the midst of an era of great change.
Facing an economic recession that has not been seen since the
1920's, we have been presented with a great opportunity, thanks
to the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA), to save
jobs, and invest in keeping our community competitive.
A website has been created as a tool to keep you, the public,
informed about what we have done with the ARRA funds. You will
find information regarding how much funding we have received
where it has been allocated, and what projects are being
implemented. Mayor Regalado asks you to take time
to explore this site,
and take the opportunity to learn what your tax payer dollars
are doing to improve your livelihood and prepare Miami for the
21st century.
Elevate Miami
The City of Miami launched a comprehensive Digital Inclusion program: Elevate Miami. The goal is to better prepare our community to participate and compete in the new digital society and digital economy by assisting our citizens in becoming more comfortable with and adaptable to new technologies. In pursuit of this goal, the City crafted a wide-ranging program to provide training (computer usage fundamentals, internet and web usage, financial fundamentals, better health through the internet, etc.) and affordable technology packages (internet access, hardware, software, financing, etc.) for residents. Target audiences include youth, low-income families, minorities, seniors and all residents facing barriers to digital inclusion.

Miami21
Miami of the 21st Century. Miami 21 represents the "Miami of the 21st Century" and entails a
holistic approach to land use and urban planning. It will provide a clear vision for the

lynchpins in the development of the blueprint of Miami: Zoning (Miami 21 Zoning Code), Economic
Development, Historic Preservation, Parks and Open Spaces, Arts and Culture, and Transportation.
