LET\u2019S GET IT STARTED!<\/b><\/h1>\n

If you are reading this article after October 2nd, hopefully the Miami-Dade County Board of County Commission approved the award of the contractor for the construction of Brickell Backyard. And if
\nthat happened \u2026<\/p>\n

MIAMI-DADE COUNTY WILL START BUILDING THE UNDERLINE!<\/b><\/p>\n

What happened leading up to this important moment?<\/b><\/p>\n

\u2022 Underline master plan was completed in 2015 after a series of 6 public meetings, community input and overwhelming political support. \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u2022 Phase 1, Brickell Backyard from the Miami River to Coral Way, design and engineering drawings by James Corner Field Operations and Kimley Horn\u00a0were completed in 2017 with a robust public process.<\/p>\n

\u2022 Project designs were permitted with over 40 approvals.<\/p>\n

\u2022 Miami-Dade County procured a contractor. The lowest bid was accepted and the County Commission\u2019s Transportation Committee unanimously approved the contractor award.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u2022 We have had hundreds of free community health and wellness and cultural events.<\/p>\n

\u2022 If the contractor award passes at County Commission on October 2nd, we will announce our big groundbreaking day soon!\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
