Nothing on record as of October 20, 2026. No lawsuit, organized opposition, or contested hearing over Lumen Miami 1 (5th Street, formerly Level(3) Miami) in Miami, Miami-Dade County, Florida appears in the sources this registry tracks. That is an absence in our sources rather than a finding that none exists, and local opposition often predates any coverage a national dataset would pick up.

Notes on the record
The sources disagree on the street direction: PeeringDB gives 49 NE 5th St (33132) and Baxtel gives 49 NW 5th Street. The street is therefore omitted, and the coordinates are PeeringDB's approximate pin. Baxtel describes it as a fully operational facility.
