Beach Corridor
The Beach Corridor is one of the six rapid transit corridors of the Strategic Miami Area Rapid Transit (SMART) Plan. The Beach Corridor runs from the Design District/Midtown Miami and Downtown Miami to the Miami Beach Convention Center area.
PD&E Study
The remaining alternatives include Automated Guideway Transit (AGT), such as:
- Metromover
- Monorail
- Streetcar
- Bus Rapid Transit (BRT)
On Jan. 30, 2020, the Miami-Dade Transportation Planning Organization (TPO) Governing Board selected the Locally Preferred Alternative (LPA) as elevated rubber tire technology for the Beach Corridor Trunkline; extension of the Metromover along Miami Ave to NW 41st Street for the Beach Corridor Design District extension; and dedicated lanes for bus/trolley along Washington Ave for the Beach Corridor Convention Center extension.
DTPW is currently refining and finalizing the study analysis on this LPA which includes obtaining conceptual permits from regulatory agencies and conducting public outreach.
