Miami Beach Scores $3 Million Grant for Atlantic Greenway
— Funds to Create a Continuous Path, Encouraging Cyclists and Pedestrian Mobility —
Miami Beach, FL - The City of Miami Beach is set to receive a $3 million grant from the Florida
Department of Transportation (FDOT) through the Shared Use Nonmotorized (SUN) Trail
program that will be used to fund portions of the Miami Beach Atlantic Greenway construction
from South Pointe Park to 87 Terrace.
Once completed, the corridor will serve as an uninterrupted paved, multi-use trail for
pedestrians and non-motorized vehicles — promoting alternative transportation methods to
move around Miami Beach. It will extend in a north/south direction, mostly running between the
erosion control line and the dune system, and connecting residents and visitors to South Pointe
Park, Lummus Park, 36 Street Park, Indian Beach Park, Allison Park and North Shore Open
Space Park, as well as to private residences, businesses and other facilities.
“We are thrilled and grateful to receive a grant of this magnitude that will undoubtedly provide
for safer opportunities for bicyclists and pedestrians to enjoy our urban-island,” said Miami
Beach City Manager Jimmy L. Morales.
