A new proposal to build a monorail across Biscayne Bay, connecting the City of Miami and the City of Miami Beach, was presented to the Miami Beach commission on Monday. Miami-Dade County Mayor Carlos Gimenez is supportive of the proposal and believes it can help relieve traffic in the future. Gimenez joined Sundial to discuss the monorail project and the new law that would make Miami-Dade County officers cooperate with ICE agents.
A new study by the Union of Concerned Scientists, called "Killer Heat in the United States: Climate Choices and the Future of Dangerously Hot Days,” was released on Tuesday and explains why Florida’s over 100 degree weather days will quadruple in quantity by midcentury. Sundial spoke with the study’s co-author, Juan Declet-Barreto, on how record-breaking heat will affect South Florida, health consequences and how marginalized communities are the worst impacted.
Miami Dade College has opened a brand new division called the Center for Learning, Innovation, and Simulation. The facility will allow for the recreation of various medical scenarios in operating rooms and emergency rooms. Sundial spoke with the President of Miami Dade College’s Medical Campus, Dr. Bryan Stewart, about the new center.
