I am forwarding this as a courtesy to our members. The City of Miami has stepped up its traffic enforcement in the Grove due to many complaints by residents. Traffic enforcement is not performed by our security patrols and is unrelated to the Utopia Homeowners Security Association. Our patrols are dedicated to surveillance and crime prevention. Any questions related to the traffic enforcement should be directed to Commander Gonzalez and the MPD.
Please drive safely.

Good Afternoon Coconut Grove. After attending many community meetings where traffic is brought up as a major concern, we launched our regular traffic enforcement initiative yesterday. We began in the south Grove where many residents had long complained of traffic cutting through their neighborhood streets, disregarding signage prohibiting turns, and speeding on narrow Coconut Grove roadways. Our enforcement began at 7AM and concluded at 8PM, with our rush-hour focus concentrated in the south Grove area. Our Traffic Enforcement Unit (Motorcycle Officers) worked hard and did an outstanding job! They issued the majority of 193 traffic tickets and 2 arrests and were supported by some of our Coconut Grove officers throughout the operation. Our team is aware that traffic is one of the primary concerns for our residents and we intend to regularly conduct these enforcement initiatives. We will be rotating them strategically throughout the Grove to help address traffic and promote safe driving practices.
Please remember to drive safely and slow down on our smaller neighborhood streets.
