The city of Miami believes it has an agreement in place to purchase a controversial trolley garage that three years ago ignited a civil rights dispute in West Coconut Grove.
Just don’t tell the owner that.
City commissioners are scheduled to vote Thursday on a proposed agreement with seller Astor Trolley to purchase the 21,658-square-foot Douglas Road property for $3,060,000. The plan, according to City Manager Daniel Alfonso, is to purchase the facility using parks impact fees, which would restrict its use to recreational purposes.
