POLL: Fort Lauderdale Residents Want New Lease For Bahia Mar Project

Leave a reply

Fort Lauderdale residents want City Officials to consider a new long-term lease for the Bahia Mar project along the beach, a new poll finds. The survey of Fort Lauderdale District 2 voters showed strong support for moving forward with discussions with the leaseholder for Bahia Mar by an almost 2:1 margin. The issue will be discussed at City Of Fort Lauderdale Commission meeting on Tuesday.

A live operator survey of cellphones and landlines asked voters about discussions with the leaseholder for Bahia Mar.  The Listener Group poll found strong support for moving forward with a lease renegotiation.  Almost 40% of voters would like to move forward with discussions, a 2:1 margin over the 19.5% said there should be no action taken.   Another 19% of voters were undecided and 21% refused to give their opinion on this question.


Residents were asked about the redevelopment and renovation of city properties along the beach.  In the last decade, the city has created an Oceanfront Park and amphitheater at Las Olas and A1A, built a municipal garage at the Las Olas Marina, and moved forward with revitalizing the Swimming Hall of Fame.

The poll found 25.2% support the way the city has redeveloped the beach, with 14.8% opposing it.  Over half the voters were unsure or refused to answer.  According to The Listener Group, this finding is not unusual in an area with such a large population of relatively new voters who moved here within the last decade.

Plantation Councilwoman Jennifer Andreu Connected Residents With Activist Who “Championed” Changing Name of City

1 Reply

Emails obtained by REDBROWARD show Councilwoman Jennifer Andreu connected residents interested in changing the name of the City of Plantation with the activist behind a 2020 petition drive. Inspired by the Black Lives Matter (BLM) protests during the summer of 2020, Dharyl Auguste started a petition to rename the City. Auguste claimed the name Plantation had negative racial connotations which made people of color uncomfortable. Auguste’s activism gained unwanted national attention for the City. But that negative attention did not stop Andreu, first elected in November, from connecting new activists with Auguste.

On January 19, 2021, Plantation resident Risha Stern sent an email to the Plantation City Council and Mayor about a local teenager interested in changing the name of the city. Stern wrote, “Can you please suggest how he could go about this and if any of you are interested in helping make history.”

Jennifer Andreu was definitely interested.

Just eight hours later, Andreu responded to Stern. She said the teen should connect with “Dharyl Auguste who championed this cause last year. Please friend him on Facebook and I’ll follow up with a message.”

Stern replied immediately to Andreu. She told Andreu the teen and his family don’t “believe in Facebook.” Stern asked, “Any other way?”

Three days later, Andreu responded with Dharyl Auguste’s telephone number.

REDBROWARD asked Andreu why she would encourage residents to contact an activist seeking to change the name of the City she represents and how she had his personal telephone on hand to share with residents.

Andreu told REDBROWARD, “I have addressed the name change issue at length during the campaign and understand both sides of the issue. If residents want a referendum, they should acquire the necessary signatures. A resident asked me for his information and he said it was okay to give them his phone number. I do my best to keep in touch with everyone who communicates with me.”

But neither Ms. Stern nor the teen asked for the telephone number of Dharyl Auguste. Stern said the teen was interested in the name change but never asked about Auguste. It was Andreu who suggested she contact Auguste.

Also, if she “understands both sides of the issue,” why didn’t Andreu volunteer to discuss the issues with the teen? Instead, she directs him to an activist who is clearly not interested in explaining both sides of the issue.

Why would Ms. Andreu encourage a costly referendum being foisted upon Plantation residents? To say such a referendum would be very divisive is an understatement.

Despite being on the job for mere months, it appears Ms. Andreu has no qualms bringing divisive issues to the doorsteps of residents.

In January, Andreu advocated punishing Plantation restaurants who offer plastic straws to customers.

Andreu also met with a Lauderhill commissioner to discuss the “annexation of Plantation” neighborhoods on the east side of the City.

Why is Andreu more interested in political issues than Plantation residents? Is someone giving really bad advice to this political newcomer?
