PURPOSE: the purpose of the public workshop is to provide information to the general public and gather public input as part of the Palmetto Bay Multi-use Trail Feasibility Study. Christina Fermin, Project Manager for Marlin Engineering will make a presentation and answer questions from attendees. The purpose of the feasibility study is to improve mobility, safety, and accessibility to the SMART Plan South Dade Corridor Transitway and the South Dade Trail to/from the Village of Palmetto Bay. This study will assess existing conditions for bicycle and pedestrian connectivity along SW 144th Street, SW 152nd Street, SW 168th Street, and SW 184th Street between the South Dade Transitway and Old Cutler Road. The study will also identify which two (2) corridors are most ideal for multi-modal improvements.  Read informational flyer.
