The Miami-Dade County Commission on Apr. 3 voted in favor of legislation proposed by Commissioner Kevin Marino Cabrera, paving the way for constructing three new pedestrian bridges along the Ludlam Trail.
The bridges will enhance pedestrian safety by providing safe crossings over W. Flagler Street, SW Eighth Street, and Bird Road (SW 40th Street), ultimately improving connectivity along the Ludlam Trail for pedestrians and cyclists. It should be noted that a private developer is building a bridge over Coral Way (SW 24th Street) to have a continuous trail along this corridor.
Commissioner Cabrera emphasized the importance of this project, stating, “By having these elevated segments, folks using the Ludlam Trail can travel safely and uninterrupted from Robert King High Park by Flagler Street past A.D. Barnes Park to my alma mater, South Miami High.
“We’re significantly reducing the risk of accidents and fatalities on our busiest roads while improving connectivity and giving our community the linear park they have always wanted,” he added.
The resolution mandates the planning and design of these bridges within the current year to expedite their implementation. Miami-Dade County will be working with the Florida Department of Transportation to ensure the seamless execution of the project, bringing these essential safety measures to fruition for the benefit of county residents.
