The change to the last-call time was reportedly part of a 12-point plan that also included proposals to remove a noise exemption on Ocean Drive and providing more police for certain districts, the Miami Herald reports.
According to the news outlet, Gelber said, "The 2 a.m. [rollback] is not a silver bullet but the mosaic of the ideas creates a different sense of place. It’s not a hard-party area; it’s a live-work-play area."
