Miami-Dade County and the FAA have been negotiating futilely for years over replacing the Opa-locka Airport's control tower. The airport, sick of the lack of results, have moved pre-preemptively to build a new one. It will take three years and cost $11 million.
What will the controllers do in the meanwhile? They will be climbing a ladder to a trailer perched on top of cargo containers that have been welded together.
''I guess you can call it a piece of modern art,'' said Charles Danger, Miami-Dade County's top building official. ``This is not a structure that meets any code whatsoever.''
The really bad part is that the entire airfield cannot be seen from the "tower," so visual confirmation of taxing planes cannot be made.No, thanks.
