Downtown Miami could soon be getting a 1.2-mile long community space called Heritage Trail underneath I-395.
According to
the winning proposal for the Signature Bridge selected by FDOT last week, a
55-acre space will be created. The new trail will “stitch” together the
surrounding communities that were once divided by the construction of I-395 and
I-95.
The bridge
will be elevated up to 44 feet higher than the minimum requested by FDOT in
order to create an open area underneath.
Some of the
features along the 1.2-mile trail will include:
Several
multi-purpose plazas, with sculptures and artwork and amphitheater
Interactive
fountains and water features
An
urban Tropical Rockwood Hammock forest
Market plaza
with food and craft spaces and music performances
Pedestrian
Bridge to connect across railroad tracks
Dog park,
playground, multi-use courts, and outdoor training equipment
Construction
is expected to begin in late 2017, barring any delay caused by a bid protest.
