Freebee operates daily in Aventura via electric, emission-free vehicles accessible through a mobile app. As part of the Icon Aventura density agreement, the Related Group/BH Group pledged $125,000 annually for 10 years to fund the service. At the October 2024 State of the City address, Mayor Weinberg announced additional Freebee vehicles on order to meet growing ridership demand. As of February 2026, Freebee reported it is on track to cross 3 million annual passengers citywide in 2026, reflecting a major expansion of the service since Weinberg took office.

Expanding Educational Options for Aventura Students

"We owe it to our parents to give more options to their children, so we're committed to getting it done."

Mayor Weinberg championed the Don Soffer Aventura High School, which graduated its first senior class and achieved an A rating by fall 2024, adding a second city-run school. At the October 2024 State of the City address, Weinberg reiterated the commission's intent to find land to build an additional school to address demand, with ACES maintaining a capacity of approximately 1,020 students and a persistent waitlist. As of May 2026, no groundbreaking or land acquisition for a new standalone K-8 school has been publicly confirmed, leaving the core promise of doubling school capacity unfulfilled.

Hero Housing for Workforce
Housing
โ— Partial
"Getting developers to provide inexpensive apartments for first responders and teachers working in Aventura was part of his platform."
News Source View Source โ†—
In November 2023, the Aventura City Commission unanimously approved the Hero Housing initiative, which offers teachers at ACES and Don Soffer Aventura High School, plus Aventura police officers and dispatchers, 50% below-market rent in participating developments โ€” funded entirely through developer density bonuses at no cost to taxpayers. The flagship project, originally approved as Icon Aventura (20 Hero Housing units), was rebranded as Viceroy Residences Aventura in January 2025 and refiled in April 2026 as Aventura City Center, with the residential count reduced to 248 units and Hero Housing units cut to 10. As of May 2026, the project has not broken ground, requires a zoning amendment for its hotel component, and city commission hearings are still pending โ€” meaning no Hero Housing units have been delivered to date.
