Dear Honorable Mayor and City Commission:
The Transportation,Parking,and Bicycle-Pedestrian Facilities Committee (TPBPFC)held its
hybrid meeting on Monday,February 10,2025.The TPBPFC passed a motion,with one
member absent and one "No"vote,to submit the following recommendation to the Mayor
and City Commission.
We recommend our elected officials rename the City's Beachwalk to "Beachpath."
What began as a wooden boardwalk between 23rd and 45th Streets,the Miami Beach
Beachwalk has transformed into a modern,multi-modal,shared path for non-motorized
means of transportation.The Beachwalk is part of the Atlantic Greenway Network,funded
by both the Greenways Master Plan and the G.O.Bond.The Atlantic Greenway Network
promotes non-motorized means of transportation methods along the Eastern Seaboard.
The Beachwalk has become a hub for active mobility users and a popular destination for
locals and visitors.
The TPBPFC feels that renaming it "Beach path"would better reflect its expanded purpose
beyond pedestrian use and support future growth and funding.
As an advisory Committee,we urge the Mayor and City Commission to support this motion.
Sincerely,
Transportation,Parking &Bicycle-Pedestrian Facilities Committee
