Mayor Steven Meiner created the "41st Street Mayor's Committee" in early 2024. In early 2025, Mrs. Avra Bank, MBNA Executive Board Member, was appointed as one of 13 Members of this Committee.
The MBNA feels strongly that since 41st street is the main entrance corridor to MidBeach and to the majority of tourists entering Miami Beach, the City should prioritize the street's maintenance and continue its plan for a full revitalization. Since October 2020, discussions of taken place for the 41st Street Revitalization Project (see below.) Regretfully, the street's aesthetics are still way below the standards of what our City should look like. In addition to the plans for the complete 41st Street revitalization, the MBNA's urges the City to maintain this roadway. 1. Sidewalk pavers should be pressure cleaned regularly and maintained free of trash and debris. 2. Code compliance must stay on top of landlords that don't maintain their storefront glass with vinyl coverings with approved artistic designs, per City Code, and kept clean. 3. The palm trees that line 41st street need to be well lit without continuous black-out sections on most palm trees. 4. The blue bisazza tiles on the 41st Street and Meridian Ave. bridge need to be replaced and maintained. 5. The City should do everything possible to entice restaurants owners that provide different kinds of experiences and outdoor seating, and also a supermarket; (hopefully Publix or Whole Foods.)

The 41st Street "Blue Ribbon Committee'" designated by Mayor Dan Gelber, has been working for several years with the City of Miami Beach in an effort to revitalize and enhance one of the primary gateways of Miami Beach. Since 41st Street links directly to MidBeach, MBNA has been monitoring this valuable project.
On October 1, 2020, AECOM joined the City of Miami Beach to present two different preliminary schematic design options for local residents and business owners to review for the 41 Street Corridor Revitalization Project. Please click buttons below for more information.
