The redevelopment of Bayfront Park is being accomplished in part by a
shoreline enhancement project of the U.S. Corps of Engineers. The
C.O.E. project includes a 2.06 acre expansion of the park by filling a
portion of Biscayne Bay and the construction of new and replacement
seawall, riprap and the construction of a bay walk and a portion of a
major fountain, the focal point of the redevelopment, to be named in
honor of Claude and Mildred Pepper. The City has deeded the land area
of the project to the C.O.E. and in turn the C.O.E. is constructing
the project at a cost of $6,200,000.
{ The Pepper fountain is located on axis with Flagler Street at the
water edge of Biscayne Bay. The C.O.E. has been authorized to expand
their project to include a "promenade" connection between the Pepper
fountain and Biscayne Boulevard with $952,000 additional funds in
current appropriations.
