Miami — Midtown Streetcar

Rail Transit Online, January 2005

The Miami City Commission has approved a $613,000 study of a proposed heritage streetcar line that would eventually link the Performing Arts Center and the Design District.  The initial segment would be built though Midtown Miami, a large residential and retail development in the Wynwood neighborhood that’s now under construction at a former rail yard between Northeast 29th and 36th streets.  The study will be funded by the city’s half-cent transportation sales tax, although financing for actual construction hasn’t yet been identified.
