As per the meeting of last week at City Hall about the Water Taxi Miami I like to present the
photo's and station about Route # 2 and # 3 where we would like to have authorization and
access to be able to shuttle passengers from the Beach into Wynwood and DownTown Miami at
the following Routes and stations.
Route # 1 Shuttles between Bayside Marketplace and Miami Beach Marina.(see Route map in
attachment)
Route # 2 Miami Beach (Purdy avenue) which will transport passengers on the Miami Beach
trolley to and from the Miami Beach convention center to the Water Taxi dock at Purdy avenue
next to the Maurice Gibb park. From our Prudy dock we will cruise directly to the Wynwood
station. The Wynwood location we have looked at can be possible to use either on the end of
29th or 30th street where we can dock against the Sea Wall as our vessel are specially designed
to able to do front loading with a minimal draft. (See photo of vessels and Route map in
attachment)
Route # 3: Service the Wynwood station with water taxi service to Sea -Isle Marina, Bayside
Marketplace and Hyatt Convention center. (see Route map in attachment)
Water Taxi Miami will operate according to a set schedule. To make this a reality we would need
the support to be able to get the authorization for the Wynwood station as well support for a
Trolley service from the Water Taxi drop off location to the Wynwood Art event but also the
support in the awareness to have riders use this service for that busy Art Basel week.
These are the organizations involved in this week in Miami Beach and Miami.
