About the Project: In 2012, Street Plans, together with local planner, and civic leader Dr. Ralph Rosado, AICP, worked with the Downtown Development Authority, local businesses, and community members to quickly design and deliver a temporary public park. In the time since this first one week project was completed, a permanent design concept was developed, which included removing 4 lanes of traffic and re-allocating the space to a redesigned public realm along Biscayne Boulevard. In 2016, the DDA was awarded a $150,000 grant from the Knight Foundation, which is being used to develop a one month version of this project. The next iteration is called Biscayne Green and it will be operational throughout January 2017. Permanant improvements are being made to advance the final permanant project, including murals on the Metromover facilities, and on the surfaces of the two parking lots. 122 · PROJECT APPLICATIONS
