FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Ribbon Cutting Ceremony to Inaugurate Middle Beach
Recreational Corridor & Beachwalk
— Tuesday, December 18 at 4 p.m. —
WHO/WHAT: Join the City of Miami Beach in celebrating the completion of the Middle
Beach Recreational Corridor and Beachwalk connecting 53 to 64 streets
on Tuesday, December 18 at 4 p.m. The site-specific project marks a
significant step toward completing the anticipated continuous pedestrian
walkway set to connect South Pointe Park to 87 Terrace, the northern
city limit.
Encouraging recreation through its design, the 6,000-linear foot pathway
supports the use of alternative modes of transportation serving as an
important function of the City’s Transportation Master Plan as well as
acting in accordance with both the American Disabilities Act and Florida
Department of Environmental Protection. To also meet the Florida Fish
and Wildlife Commission’s marine turtle nesting requirements, the series
of projects replaced exotic dune vegetation with native flora and a beach
compatible dune fill.
Bolstering the ties that make up city life, the comprehensive beachwalk
is expected to act as a main artery connecting residents and visitors to
Miami Beach’s public spaces.
WHEN: Tuesday, December 18 at 4 p.m.
WHERE: Allison Park
6500 Collins Avenue
