Project Description
FROM THE ARCHITECTS:
The Underline will transform the land below Miami’s Metrorail from Brickell to Dadeland into a 10-mile signature linear park and world-class urban trail that impacts thousands of residents and directly connects to transit. The Framework plan aims to create an exceptional open space rooted and inspired by Miami that both improves the functionality for its existing users - commuters, cyclists, runners and pedestrians while maximizing its potential to foster new types of programs and uses for additional user groups - residents, nature and park lovers, art enthusiasts, environmentalists, entrepreneurs and families to name a few. In summary, our mission is to create Miami’s signature linear park and urban trail. Inspired by South Florida and the Miami region, the Underline will become an alternative mode of transportation, a significant social and civic spine for the area; a linear experience of inviting spaces that foster community, enhance value, accommodate recreation, facilitate connectivity and improve social exchange. We envision a unique and sustainable corridor that supports mobility, community, recreation, public life, and inspires innovation in open space, transportation, planning, and redevelopment.
