Streetscape meeting is tonight at City Hall

Tonight, September 12 from 7 to 8 pm, the Coconut Grove streetscape plans will be discussed at City Hall (3500 Pan American Drive). The City of Miami Capital Improvements Department and Curtis & Rogers Design Studio will present the BID's new sidewalk plans. The project was to begin on Florida Avenue in July, but so far, nothing has been done.

Tonight's meeting will provide information and gather input on the year-long planning process for the sidewalk initiative. This will be the third public-input meeting of this project.

This public presentation and conversation will address new brick sidewalks, wider and more level sidewalks that will increase ADA compliance, tree canopy replacement and renewal, new technologies that address sidewalk-disrupting tree roots and improve canopy, expanded tree pits to enhance health of trees, curb cuts, elimination of some on-street parking spaces, and more room for pedestrians and sidewalk cafes in the Village.


The street scape plan may be seen here, here and here.
