Exploring Transit Options to South Beach

If you were to try and take public transportation to South Beach from Miami, chances are it would likely take you twice as long get there than if you were to drive or use a ridesharing service. For years, there have been ideas about how to better improve the connection, as far back as 1988 in fact. However, nothing has come to fruition. That may all change soon.

The Strategic Miami Area Rapid Transit (SMART) Plan is a study aimed at determining how to best link Miami Beach to its neighbor across the water, better known as the downtown Miami area. Countless ideas have been floating around such as a monorail system similar to what’s seen at Disney, high-wire pods, or even a light rail system which would be the first of its kind in Miami-Dade County. Another option that has been considered is expanding the MacArthur Causeway to make dedicated transit lanes. Expanding the existing Metromover has also been entertained as a possibility.

The SMART Plan’s recommendation is expected to be submitted by the fall where it will then be reviewed by Miami-Dade’s Transportation Planning Organization and either accepted or a different beach corridor transit mode will be chosen.

How would you make transportation between Miami and Miami Beach easier?

Miami Beach Seeks Your Suggestions

Have you ever stopped for a moment, scrutinized a part of the city and thought, “I can make this better and I know just what the city needs.” If you know ways to improve the city, Miami Beach wants to hear from you. The city is reaching out to residents to help with figuring out what to do with millions of dollars in government spending aimed at addressing infrastructure repairs, tackling the effects of sea level rise, and boosting the safety of the public.

If the thought piques your interest, Miami Beach will be kicking off public meetings on Thursday for residents to talk about the projects they feel the money should be put towards. During these meetings, residents will be asked to rank a series of possible projects or suggest new ones. For residents that cannot make it to these meetings concluding on June 9, there will also be the option of sharing feedback online.

For those interested, there will be a total of four meetings beginning with the one being held this Thursday followed by back to back meetings on the 21^st and 22^nd and the aforementioned final meeting on Saturday, June 9.
