This bulletin provides a comprehensive summary of official city notices, public health advisories, and community announcements active for the City of Miami on Monday, March 16, 2026. Residents are encouraged to review these notices to stay informed on local governance, infrastructure projects, and safety protocols.

Affordable Housing and Development

Today at 9:30 a.m., Mayor Eileen Higgins and District 3 Commissioner Rolando Escalona will join the Department of Housing and Community Development to celebrate the grand opening of Brisas del Sol in Little Havana. Developed in collaboration with the Related Urban Development Group, this project adds significant affordable rental units to the district. This opening marks a milestone in the city’s ongoing efforts to expand residential options for low-to-moderate income families.

Public Health and Environmental Advisories

The Florida Department of Health in Miami-Dade County has issued a Mosquito-borne Illness Alert effective through mid-March 2026. Health officials have confirmed the presence of Dengue, Chikungunya, and Malaria within the region. Residents are advised to follow the "Drain and Cover" protocol:

  • Drain standing water from garbage cans, house gutters, pool covers, and toys.
  • Discard old tires, drums, or any containers that may collect water.
  • Cover skin with long-sleeved clothing and apply repellent containing DEET, picaridin, or oil of lemon eucalyptus when outdoors.

Additionally, the public is advised of a moderate risk of rip currents along the Atlantic coast. Swimmers are urged to remain within sight of lifeguard-staffed areas.

Upcoming Public Meetings and Community Engagement

Local government committees are convening today to discuss planning and city aesthetics. Key meetings include:

  • Public Art Professional Advisory Committee (PAC): Meeting at 6:00 p.m. at 444 SW 2nd Avenue, 3rd Floor. The committee will review public art project proposals for upcoming recommendations to the Art in Public Places Board.
  • Greater Region Mobility Alliance: A quarterly meeting is scheduled for today to discuss regional transportation strategies and infrastructure equity.
