Downtown Miami Flagler Street Ready for a $12M Facelift

 $12M Facelift For Downtown Miami Flagler Street

The Heated Enthusiastic condo developments have brought thousands of new residents to Downtown Miami and with some many more luxurious condo projects in the works it is absolutely indispensable to give all Downtown surroundings an appropriate facelift.  Miami Dade County along with City of Miami are investing $12M to upgrade Flagler Street.  At one point, downtown Miami’s Flagler Street was Miami’s retail core but unfortunately after years of neglect Flagler’s store are in need of a major overhaul.

A partnership between private property owners, the City of Miami and Miami-Dade County wants to restore Flagler Street to its 1950s and 1960s glory through a $12 million improvement plan, the Miami Herald reported. South Miami-based Curtis + Rodgers Design Studio designed a overhaul that would get rid of on-street parking to make way for valet stations. Sidewalks would be extended to give more room to pedestrians, restaurant tables and bike racks. DDA deputy director Javier Betancourt said Flagler should preserve and build on its distinctive qualities — the kind of historic, authentic urban ambience that people increasingly seek out. Betancourt believes the street has the potential to become Miami’s Lincoln Road.The aim overall is to make it more walkable, more active, and a place where we can have visitors and residents congregate. Unless the goal is accomplished every Downtown visitor will definitely opt to go the upcoming Miami World Center, Brickell Citicentre, Brickell Mary Village, Edge water mall or othe place much more attractive.

In the works for three years, Miami’s Downtown Development Authority is in charge of overseeing the plan. Flagler Street stakeholders eagerly agreed to a special assessment of about $1 million to help fund the project. The city is covering about $6 million, while the county is kicking in up to $6 million from unused bond revenue. *The Real Deal.
