Public commenter urges Sunny Isles Beach to rename access road for Mahsa Amini

Sunny Isles Beach — During the workshop's moved-ahead agenda item, a public commenter asked the commission to consider renaming an access road in Sunny Isles Beach to honor Mahsa Amini and to show solidarity with protests that followed her death in Iran.

The speaker, identified in the record as Mister Salak, said he represents Mahsa Gina Abini and described international actions by cities that have renamed streets and parks in memory of Mahsa Amini. He suggested designating the access road between Collins Avenue and the Atlantic Ocean in Sunny Isles Beach as a memorial and said he had previously provided information to city officials.

Commissioners accepted the presentation and presented a posthumous certificate of acknowledgment for Mahsa Amini; no formal agenda action or vote to rename any street was recorded during the workshop.

The matter was presented to the commission for awareness and does not appear on the agenda as a formal item requiring a vote at this meeting.
