Engineer joins BPAC

Congratulations to Ken Groce, the newest member of Miami-Dade County's Bicycle-Pedestrian Advisory Committee. Groce is best known in the bicycle world for coaching the University of Miami's Triathlon Team, the TriCanes. His background in civil engineering was readily apparent as he plunged into Wednesday night's discussion. Groce was appointed by Homestead Mayor Lynda Bell. The committee reports to the Metropolitan Planning Organization, responsible for coordinating transportation plans throughout the county.
