The People's Dock Is Getting A Make-over!
Project Timeline & Photo
A MESSAGE FROM MIAMI-DADE COUNTY ABOUT THE PROJECT...

Thank you for your patience as we work with FEMA and local agencies on the replacement of the People's Dock. As of January 6, 2021, the People's Dock is CLOSED for construction.
Over the past few years multiple agencies including the Village of Palmetto Bay, FEMA, and Miami-Dade Parks, Recreation and Open Spaces have participated in the planning and implementation of restoration work at the People’s Dock, a gift to the community from Charles Deering over a hundred years ago. Multiple environmental regulatory agencies have participated in this process as well, to ensure the protection of the area’s environmentally sensitive ecosystem including important aquatic species, such as fragile seagrasses.
  
The new dock design will be a more durable design than the previous, better able to withstand the more frequent and more intense storms we are seeing. During the construction phase, the dock will be closed, and we encourage the community to take advantage of the other free public access points for the bay at Deering Point and the North Addition.
We look forward to the opening of a new dock, ready to serve the community, in April 2021 and want to extend our thanks to all our partners for their help and support through this project. 

For additional details, please contact Bethany Gray, Historic Preservation & Curatorial Manager, at Bethany.Gray@miamidade.gov.
