PEDESTRIAN SAFETY IS ESSENTIAL IN THE BUILT ENVIRONMENT

BUT A POOR CHOICE OF MATERIALS HURTS

PEOPLE WITH DISABILITIES


A safe haven for pedestrians in the middle of busy, 4-lane Washington Avenue at Lincoln Road in Miami Beach is a great idea.

But using dozens of tiny pavers IS NOT.

It creates a tripping hazard.

We have no idea what an uneven, treacherous surface brings to the table.

Especially in a high density, high foot traffic (96 Walk Score) area that needs easy mobility.
