2020 Annual Report - Menomonee Valley PartnersMichelle Kramer
This past year has seen many unexpected changes. From the COVID-19 pandemic to the racial reckoning of our nation, we have faced many challenges. Throughout this time period, it has been humbling—but never surprising—to see the stakeholders in the Valley come together to support one another.
At a time when nothing was certain, the business leadership in the Valley donated medical equipment, used their production spaces for PPE, and supported workers through a very turbulent time.
Our green spaces were more active than ever, showing a 474% increase in use of Three Bridges Park! Although people could not gather, it is heartening to know that land once known as the state’s largest brownfield is abundantly used by the community to enjoy nature.
As we move forward to a new year, we are excited to see how the Valley will continue to adapt, grow, and foster inclusion in all spaces. Thank you for being part of this ever evolving journey!

Commissioner Marc D. Sarnoff
Chairman, City of Miami Commission
Coconut Grove continues to grow and develop into a modern, urban and walkable
destination while maintaining its distinct sense of history and unique tropical
ambiance. In 2015, the Coconut Grove Business Improvement District saw a year
of tremendous upward momentum towards reaching our mission. We continued
our efforts to make Coconut Grove an equally desirable destination for Miami’s
locals and visitors. We’re proud to watch as new businesses call Coconut Grove
home and residents and visitors alike explore the area as it continues to blossom
into a truly live, work and play neighborhood.
In 2015, we saw the Grove become a safer place. We added HD security
cameras to the area, opened the Village West Police Station, and collaborated
with multiple neighborhood partners to realize a reduction in crime in Coconut
Grove for the third consecutive year.
The future of Coconut Grove looks promising: capital improvements along
Commodore Plaza further beautified a neighborhood already so naturally lush.
The marketing efforts of 2015 were substantial; the Coconut Grove Business
Improvement District launched a new, multi-platform campaign for Coconut Grove.
This campaign tactfully merged ideas about Coconut Grove’s
image and positioned us as an area with a distinct identity
and history that is both conveniently located in the middle of
the greater Miami area and simultaneously a tucked away
and self-contained community.
While there is always more work to be done, the year was
bright with enhancements and growth within the district.
We’re looking forward to another year of continued
positivity in Coconut Grove.

Since 2011, our Block by Block ambassadors have been
providing supplemental cleaning and security services
throughout the District. Such services include cleaning the
public right-of-ways, removal of graffiti, daily litter pick-up,

sense of pride, and it even affects the level of security and
behaviors in our District.
There are many tasks that are overlooked or not addressed
by the city due to limited resources, however, these high-
impact projects provide long-term change to the District and
they are exactly what Block by Block is successful at.
Although Block by Block serves over 70+ downtowns, the

Miami Police Department. The City of Miami Police
Department provides off-duty police coverage

Ambassador radio for efficient communication
with our safety and cleaning Ambassadors.
Additionally, our off-duty police officers are

directly with each officer as needed. This

of both private and public sectors within the BID.

The annual façade grant program is
an initiative that was started by the BID
in 2011 aimed at encouraging and
assisting business and property owners
within the District to restore and improve
their storefront appearances. In 2015,
there was a total of $233,630 worth of
improvements via six approved applicants
made possible by the façade improvement
program.
Note, since 2011, the Coconut Grove BID
partnership has administered reimbursable
grants and leveraged over $1,000,000
dollars in private investment.
In 2014, the BID Board approved
up to $250,000 for an outdoor
shutter removal grant program that
will assist BID property owners with
up to 50% of the costs associated
with the removal of Hurricane
Shutters and Outdoor Grilles within
the District.
The Coconut Grove BID’s sidewalk
improvements project along
Commodore Plaza was completed in
FY’15. As part of the improvements,
there were 15 new trees planted
to ensure a diverse tree canopy, in
addition to wider sidewalks and a
pedestrian crosswalk to encourage the
safe flow of pedestrians throughout the
corridor.
Improvements were funded by the
Offices of District II and facilitated by
the City of Miami Capital Improve-
ments Department. Please note that
the Coconut Grove BID began the
planning process via the Coconut
Grove BID’s Capital sub-Committee
in 2010 and officially broke ground
on June 7, 2014. Florida Ave, Mary
St., Virginia St. and Commodore
Plaza have been completed since the
project’s inception. Main Highway
and Grand Avenue are scheduled
to be addressed in 2016 and 2017
respectively.
In April 2014, the BID installed (10) HD
public surveillance cameras along Grand
Avenue and Main Highway with logistical
help from Sonesta Coconut Grove.
The HD camera network is currently
operational 24 hours a day, 7 days a
week and is currently being monitored by
the City of Miami Police Department.
In 2016, the Coconut Grove Business
Improvement District is scheduled to
expand to its second phase of the camera
installation project; which will call for the
placement of security cameras throughout
the boundaries of the entire District to
ensure complete coverage.

Coconut Grove has a rich and extensive history, therefore, one of

events. These calendars visually articulate BID events and convey a
nostalgic charm to promote Coconut Grove’s celebrated history.
PANAMA JACK BICYCLE INITIATIVE
With the support of Panama Jack, the BID
office facilitated the distribution of more than

raffles to support BID events and Coconut
Grove’s ever-growing bicycling community. To
shine light on the success of this initiative, a
way-finding map was produced and designed
