SUBJECT: COMMENCEMENT OF CONSTRUCTION ON THE FINAL SEGMENT
OF BEACHWALK THROUGH NORTH BEACH OCEANSIDE PARK
The purpose of this LTC is to notify the Mayor and City Commission that
construction is scheduled to commence on Monday August 9, 2021 on the final
segment of the Beachwalk. The Beachwalk project runs along the eastern edge
of North Beach Oceanside Park from 79th Street to 87th Street. The Beachwalk
project is estimated to be completed in summer 2022. With the completion of this
portion of the Beachwalk, there will now be more than seven miles of oceanfront
promenade that connect the entire city from South Pointe through North Beach,
to the northern limit of the city.
The City's Beachwalk system is part of the larger East Coast Greenway, a
walking and biking route stretching over 3,000 miles from Maine to Key West.
This system of pedestrian and bike paths promotes alternative transportation and
connects the community to parks, cultural institutions, and business centers. This
project is the final link in the Miami Beach portion of the East Coast Greenway.
The final project includes a 25 -foot -wide, on -grade paver pathway, turtle -friendly
lighting, dune improvements and salt -tolerant vegetation.
If you have any questions, please reach out to David Martinez 305-673-7071.
