This 2-mite stretch between SW 67th Avenue and SW 48th Avenue is a dynamic urban corridor that supports a diverse mix of residential neighborhoods, commercial businesses, parks, and civic institutions. It is a heavily trafficked route that plays a critical role in Loca L mobility and economic activity. Despite its importance, the existing medians along this segment of West FLagLer Street are sparsely sodded, offering Little aesthetic or e nvi ron me nta L va Lue. The Lack of greenery contributes to urban heat island effects, detracts from the pedestrian experience, and misses an opportunity to reflect the vibrancy of the surrounding community. Beautification Vision This proposaL seeks to transform the medians into resilient, Low - maintenance green spaces using mostly native and Florida -friendly plant species. The design will emphasize: • Resilient native plants and sodding that require no irrigation after establishment. • Drought- and heat-toLerant species that thrive in SouthFLorida's climate. • Pollinator -friendly groundcovers and shrubs to support urban bi od iversity. • Strategic ptacement to ensure visibiUty and safety, in compUance with FDOT sight distance and Lateral offset requirements. The project wiLL not include irrigation systems, re Lying instead on species adapted to Local rainfall and soil conditions. This approach aligns with FDOT's emphasis on sustainability and cost-effectiveness. Contextual Importance West FLagLer Street, in addition to being a transportation corridor is also a cultural and economic Lifeline. The area features small businesses and Local shops that rely on foot traffic and curb appeal; residential communities with historical roots; public parks and green spaces that serve families and seniors; transit routes that make this corridor a key part of Miami's mobility network. Enhancing the medians wiLL eLevate the corridor'svisuaL identity, promote community pride, and support Local economic development. Phased ImpLementation This proposal represents Phase I of a three-phase beautification initiative aimed at revitalizing the entire West FLagLer corridor within the City of Miami. Future phases will extend east and west, building on the success and Lessons of this initial segment.
