Old Cutler Road Improvements
As you've seen, the Town of Cutler Bay and Miami-Dade County
have begun work on the improvements to Old Cutler Road.
They are committed to keeping it open throughout the project
although there may be temporary lane closures.
This project will improve public safety, ease traffic congestion,
enhance traffic flow, enhance pedestrian mobility,
improve function and flow of mass transit, and beautify the neighborhood.
Two traffic circles will be added,
at SW 87 Ave & Old Cutler Road (replacing the signalized intersection)
and at SW 97 Ave & Old Cutler Road.
The work is scheduled to be completed by Fall 2013.
In the meantime, we'll have to be patient and allow extra time
when traveling on Old Cutler Road, or find alternate routes.

Update 3/30/12
As part of the Old Cutler Road improvements,
the Town of Cutler Bay has found it necessary
to temporarily close the intersection
of Old Cutler Road and SW 92nd Avenue.
The closure is scheduled from April 16, 2012 to June 11, 2012,
but the Town is making every effort to open the intersection sooner.

Update 5/3/12
Mr. Casals provided a map
of the Temporary Delivery Truck Route
for the Old Cutler Towne Center during the closure of
the intersection at Old Cutler Road and
SW 92nd Avenue.
There may be an increase in truck traffic on
SW 208th Street and SW 92nd Avenue during this time.

Movie Night’s A Hit!
What a great evening for Cantamar!
Saturday, March 3rd at 6:00 pm we started our community activities

A small, but nice group enjoyed "Totoro" for the kids at 7:00 pm,
followed by "Hitch" for the adults at 9:00 pm.
See more photos from the evening here.
