IMPORTANT UPDATE: The PD&E Restarts!

On November 15, 2022, The Miami-Dade County Board of County Commissioners (BCC) approved Resolution R-1139-22 directing the County Mayor or designee to take all actions necessary to accelerate the implementation of the North Corridor as an elevated fixed guideway solution per the TPO's adopted Locally Preferred Alternative and urging the Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) to complete the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) process. 

In May 2023, FDOT and DTPW collaborated to conduct a Value Engineering (VE) Workshop to identify best and most cost effective methods of implementing the project.  Results of the VE Workshop will be completed in September 2023 and will be used to restart the PD&E in early 2024

Purpose & Need
