About The Project
Recently, the Village of Palmetto Bay was awarded $80,000 by the Miami-Dade County Transportation Planning Organization for the purpose of completing a Multi-Use Trail & SMART Plan Connectivity Feasibility Study. The study aims to improve mobility, safety and accessibility to the SMART Plan’s South Dade Corridor Transitway and South Dade Trail from the Village of Palmetto Bay. The new plan will identify and assess existing conditions for bicycle and pedestrian connectivity along SW 144 Street, SW 152 Street, SW 168 Street and SW 184 Street, between the South Dade Transitway and Old Cutler Road.
The study will consider multi-use pathways, sidewalks and/or protected or buffered bicycle lanes. Two alternatives will be evaluated for the above-mentioned roadways. The final plan will include 15% design plans for up to two corridors connecting Old Cutler Trail and the South Dade Trail. The project is anticipated to be completed by November 2021.
