September 2008 Miami-Dade County 040829015 Fort Lauderdale, Florida Metropolitan Planning Organization 51330101.08 South Dade Managed Lanes Study Prepared for: Miami-Dade County Metropolitan Planning Organization (MPO) Prepared by: Kimley-Horn and Associates, Inc. Fort Lauderdale, Florida ¤Kimley-Horn and Associates, Inc. September 2008 040829015 {This page is intentionally left blank} Executive Summary Objective and Concept The objective of the South Dade Managed Lanes Study is to assess the feasibility of managed lanes concepts in the right-of-way for the South Dade Busway and to evaluate the revenue generating potential for improving the corridor. The concept for managed lanes in the South Dade Busway corridor involves (1) enhancing the existing level of transit service in the corridor and (2) allowing tolled private vehicles to use excess capacity in the corridor with congestion pricing to maintain a high level of service in the corridor. The managed lanes would allow reliable travel to tolled private vehicles to by-pass areas of severe traffic congestion along U.S. 1. The South Dade Busway parallels U.S. 1 (South Dixie Highway) and extends from the Dadeland South Metrorail Station to SW 344th Street. Both express bus routes and local bus routes operate along the Busway. The number of buses operating in the Busway ranges from 10 to 27 per peak hour per direction. South Dade Busway Background The South Dade Busway is located along the old Florida East Coast (FEC) Railroad corridor right-of-way.

  • Edward Leedskalnin (D
    Coral Castle – Knowledge Edward Leedskalnin (d. 1951) claimed to know the secret of the building of the pyramids, based on the idea that "all matter consists of individual magnets and it is the movement of these magnets within materials and through space that produces measurable phenomena, i.e., magnetism and electricity." He never revealed his secret, but the castle which he built completely by himself in Florida using blocks of coral weighing up to 30 tons proves that he knew how to move heavy objects. http://www.theosociety.org/pasadena/sunrise/52-02-3/eg-vonk.htm --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Coral Castle The Coral Castle of Homestead, Florida. The Coral Castle of Florida is a structure built by Ed Leedskalnin in the first half of the twentieth century. It is built out of massive (many-ton) blocks of coral, which Leedskalnin evidently carved and put in place single-handedly, using only primitive hand tools. He claims to have been able to do this using the “secrets of the pyramids.” Magnetics? Levitation? Singing? How did he do this? http://www.foundation.bw/SevenWondersOfTheWorld.htm --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Article and photos by Frank Joseph Reprinted with permission from FATE In 1993 I went searching for Florida's and perhaps the world's most bizarre place. I had seen the strange complex known as Coral Castle on a television documentary, and my curiosity was aroused. Since I was already in Florida for a book convention, I decided to combine business with investigation. I drove south on Highway 1 toward Homestead, where Coral Castle is located. The town is better known as the focal point for Hurricane Andrew, the worst tropical storm in U.S.
