San Amaro Widening Set To Get Underway

The widening and beautification of San Amaro Dr., from Miller to Ponce de Leon Blvd., scheduled to get underway soon has left one property owner unhappy. The residence of Donald V. Hunter, 5530 San Amaro, will wind up only 15 feet from the street when the improvement is completed. The program, being paid for by the University of Miami as part of its general plan to re-route Main Campus traffic, contemplates widening and dividing San Amaro, with a ladscapped island separating the north and southbound lanes. Hunter appeared before the City Commission Tuesday to ask that the street not be paved all the way to the sidewalk. The City Commission indicated that the entire program could not be upset for one residence, but told Hunter that no parking restrictions would be placed in the short block in front of his home. Hunter purchased the home from a builder who had obtained a variance to build the home so close to the street before the University plannd the improvement. The University is giving up 15 feet of its property on the east side to make the widening possible.
