Samson Ocean Front Park - Showers

As the year comes to a close, I would like to give thanks to our residents for taking pride in our city. Your feedback, both good and bad, helps us prioritize what matters in Sunny Isles Beach and take actions to ensure this city remains the height of living. Throughout the year, you have shared your concerns, questions and complaints through emails, phone calls, and our Go Gov service request portal. We work hard to address all requests.

Here are some of the changes we made this year, thanks to your feedback:

  • Moved City anniversary to February to better accommodate residents
  • Initiated upgrades to our City Buses including a new mobile-friendly application and ADA-compliant ramps to make the boarding process easier
  • Added park rangers to help keep our parks safe
  • Completed upgrades to the North Bay Road Pedestrian Bridge, including a new ADA-compliant surface, a dedicated bike lane, and improved safety features
  • Collected feedback from residents on possible changes to our motorized scooter ordinance
  • Completed upgrades on the Gateway Park Pedestrian Bridge elevators, including new glass doors and security cameras
  • Installed additional intersection safety cameras to address speeding concerns
  • Introduced monthly DBPR Resident Support Sessions to address condominium or COA-related questions and concerns • Expanded restroom hours at Samson Oceanfront Park
  • Installed new shower towers at Samson Oceanfront Park
  • Increased beach patrol to ensure compliance with all beach rules and regulations, including dogs and shoreline fishing.
  •  Increased cleaning frequency at Newport Fishing Pier

With a new year on the way, we plan to continue prioritizing resident engagement. I encourage you to continue submitting requests through our Go Gov portal or feel free to reach out to my office directly. On behalf of the City, we wish you a very happy holiday season and joyous new year.
