PAST PROJECTS
These are projects that we supported. We just wanted to keep it here for the record until we renovate our website.
ROGG Defeated in Miami-Dade and Collier Counties.
The pro-greenway supporters are still trying to revive it in one way or another, so the community is vigilant when similar projects under a different name are re-introduced.
All words below are from our original postings a few years ago.

- No ROGG, so-called "River Of Grass Greenway". Comments due June 30, 2017.
- Floridians Clean Water Declaration

All words below are from our original postings a few years ago.
NO ROGG -- SO-CALLED "RIVER OF GRASS GREENWAY"
This is about cultivating coalitions to curtail the efforts to construct a paved, 76-mile bike path parallel to the Tamiami Trail from eastern Naples to West Miami. This particular campaign is being organized by Bobby C. Billie, Council of the Original Miccosukee Simanolee Nation Aboriginal Peoples, and we are honored to assist and participate in their initiative. Although the campaign has enjoyed some successes, there's still a persistent effort to keep this project alive under various guises.
We have until June 30, 2017 to get comments to [email protected] in Tallahassee to strongly oppose the State producing a Florida Greenways and Trails Opportunity and Priorities map containing the pathway of ROGG
Note: All comments must be received by Friday, June 30 -- this is a firm deadline.
[email protected]
Tell them DO NOT INCLUDE THE ROGG PATHWAY on the Florida Greenways & Trails Opportunity & Priorities map.
FLORIDIANS CLEAN WATER DECLARATION
We also ask you to join us and get familiar with the Floridian's Clean Water Declaration LOCATED BELOW and support the movement in ensuring the health of our Waters not just here in Florida but across the Planet......your life depends on it.
