South Beach state of emergency extended to April following spring break crowds
BY JUSTINE COLEMAN - 03/21/21 06:48 PM EDT 440

Miami Beach commissioners decided on Sunday to extend its state of emergency in South Beach through April 12 after the city dealt with large crowds of spring breakers.

The Miami Beach City Commission unanimously voted to stretch its 8 p.m. curfew in South Beach’s entertainment district and 10 p.m. closures of eastbound lanes on three causeways every Thursday through Sunday until April 12, the Miami Herald reported.

Under the regulations, residents, hotel guests and local business employees are exempt from the closures on the MacArthur and Julia Tuttle causeways. Only residents will be permitted on the Venetian causeway during the restricted hours.

The restrictions come after Interim City Manager Raul Aguila instituted the curfew and road closures on Saturday to “contain the overwhelming crowd of visitors and the potential for violence, disruption and damage to property,” according to the Herald.

Without the commissioners’ approval, Aguila could not extend the limitations beyond 72 hours.
