PlusUrbia Design Suggested this improvement
My idea to improve this place...
Create a
parklet out of two parking spaces in the heart of Little Havana’s
Calle8. A parklet is a low-cost, high-impact urban oasis created out of
parking spaces and made even with the sidewalk for easy access. A
parklet can create green space out of concrete. Some serve as outdoor
café space to activate the street. This parklet would use iconic design
to strengthen the identity of Miami’s most famous, historic and
authentic neighborhood.
So that people could...
Enjoy the
history, music, food, architecture and ambiance of Calle8 while taking a
big step toward humanizing the urban corridor. Three million people per
year visit Little Havana, but many are taken aback by the 3-lane, 1-way
commuter highway that Calle8 has become. This parklet will capture the
essence of Little Havana’s art, salsa music, domino players, coffee
windows and Cuban heritage. A parklet will unlock Calle8’s potential as a
safe, walkable, prosperous and livable main street destination for
locals and visitors.
