Key Biscayne

Key Biscayne passed an ordinance that banned the noisy lawn contraptions in 2018. Some municipalities looked at the island with envy, passing their own bans or planning to do so. Now, municipalities – sick of home rule being preempted by Tallahassee – are looking at work-arounds to stop — or at minimize – the impacts.

A nearly $4.1 million road project is set to begin this Spring for the West and William Powell Bridges — two of spans that link Key Biscayne to the mainland. Closures are expected to be limited to overnight hours on weekdays only, with both bridges being reduced to one lane in each direction.

The village voted to pay $25,000 to the Key Biscayne Independent over a media "gag order" policy the outlet claimed was unconstitutional.

By at least one measure, Key Biscayne suffered the coldest morning in its history Sunday, as an Arctic blast gripped the island with weather that left iguanas paralyzed and some people powerless.

The Key Biscayne Film Festival was an idea that emerged during the planning of what would probably have been a hit with television audiences — a reality show about life on Key Biscayne. Isabel Custer and Maite Garrido wanted to make a documentary reality series starring the characters that live on the island.

The Key Biscayne Council is expected to take formal steps on the project at its Feb. 10 meeting, moving to bury all utility lines in a project that Mayor Joe Rasco said at the workshop will cost up to $81 million, nearly double the 2019 estimated cost of $46 million.

A new report questions a fundamental premise of Key Biscayne’s response to climate change, suggesting that a series of limited, localized flooding projects using existing drainage lines may be preferable to the expensive course of action that the island's administration is pursuing.

The celebration at Bill Baggs Cape Florida State Park will be one steeped both in history and high-tech glitz, and will be a chance to get acquainted with an old friend — actually, the oldest structure in Miami-Dade County.

The unique historical landmark is perched on the southern tip of Key Biscayne and its first lighting to guide ships around the Florida Reef, from Key Biscayne to the Florida Keys, happened on December 17, 2025.

The Key Biscayne Council approved spending $950,000 to move forward with the innovative Shoreline Rickenbacker renovation design this week. Miami-Dade Commissioner Raquel Regalado said she can deliver the project and was nonplussed when it came to skeptics.

The nonprofit center that Marjory Stoneman Douglas helped found says its located a decades-old document that could boost its case to stay.

Key Biscayners take their Halloween seriously. Like its July 4th Parade, All Hallows’ Eve – and the preceding week, really – is a throwback when kids roamed the streets in drug store costumes going door-to-door for Bits-of-honey and Milk Duds.
