We believe this notification should have been made available online and not in an obscure section of the Miami Herald tucked away where no one reads it. There is a significant impact to the residents in this area and they need to be notified directly and publicly with the widest dissemination possible. A newspaper is not sufficient with advances in technology. It would have cost less money to place the add online unless of course the motive was to not inform the residents. Then the objective may have been achieved if not for citizen volunteers that offer this information to this blog.
