Funding has not been secured nor has the project gone out for bidding. The good thing is that the City has paid for some serious studies. Chances are these efforts will not go to waste. There is too much to gain from this project’s development. The Bay Walk will further revitalize the CBD and the M&E. That’s why its important for the public to know what’s being planned.

Accessability has been addressed–city approvals were subject to developers granting access easements (via sidewalks or open green areas) that often extend from the street to the riverwalk area. In theory, there will be mutliple public access points along those streets that are adjacent/parallel to the river, leading to the riverwalk area (another easement that all developers must grant).

hi! thanks for the link.

as for the riverwalk- it would be great to have something like that in miami. it really would help to make it a nicer place to live- encouraging people to get outside in a nice environment. as a runner, i would love to have an alternate to the boardwalk

i worry, though, about the accessibility of the riverwalk if it’s blocked by all the proposed skyscraper condos.

The river dredging is about the only obvious initiative I see progressing along the River. Some parks are getting refurbished, but you’re right, there isn’t much said or reported about the Riverwalk. Spotty development along the river has compromised uniformity but not the idea. That is the difference between the Bay Walk and the Riverwalk or Greenway. The Bay Walk, as planned, would go through quite a bit of park space and less private land. While the Riverwalk would have to go through a jumble of private developments. I’m following up on this as a continuation of this post. After all, in theory, they are connected.

Does anyone know the status of the Miami River “Greenway” or “Riverwalk” that was so highly promoted a few years ago by the city and Miami River Commission but has recently seemed to lose much of its momentum? I suspect the current spotty development along the river has hampered the planning of a continuous, fluid pedestrian promenade. At one point all the proposed development would have been conducive to an impressive riverwalk but now so many projects have been pulled that the city is having a difficult time moving forward with the riverwalk feature. I know that many riverfront projects were approved/permitted with special conditions that obligated developers to construct portions of the riverwalk, dedicate green areas, abide by certain setbacks, etc. Now that many of these projects are dead, the riverwalk sections in that underlying real estate is effectively dead too, for the time being.
