8th St. Metromover Station

TBT (April 24, 2015) - Construction was underway at the 8th Street Metromover station at Brickell City Centre 4 years ago in 2015. The station originally closed in August 2014 for one year. The completed station is now named Brickell City Centre Station and people can enter the mall at the stop.

Since announcing that the 8th St. metro mover station would close for one year back in August 2014, construction is moving along. 

When the metromover station is complete, riders will have the option to continue along or get off at the station that will lead directly into Brickell City Centre. 

Swire is paying the cost for the renovations and working directly with Miami-Dade County Transit on the station. 

A video of the metromover along the Brickell Loop can be seen here.

We previously took a ride along the Miami Metromover featuring The Brickell Loop. Now take a look at the Omni Loop, which starts in the Arts & Entertainment district and goes through Downtown Miami. The Metomover is a great way to explore and see the city and best of all - it's free!

According to Miami Today, a Miami-Dade commission committee has approved a plan that will start charging for the currently free metromover. The metromover provides frees transportation through Brickell, Downtown Miami and the Omni District.

There was talk of charging $1 to ride the metromover, but no word on what the new charges would be. It would cost the city $475,000 a year to upkeep a fare collecting system.

Fewer Lanes For Biscayne Boulevard?

in , ,

Biscayne Green is looking to make Biscayne Boulevard from NE 8th St. to Biscayne Boulevard Way, according to Miami Today.

The plan would decrease the lanes from eight lanes to either six or four and increase the sidewalks with a dedicated bicycle lane. The parking spaces will go from 388 to 187.

The goal is to create a grand promenade, but first the Florida Department of Transportation has to agree to reduce the lanes.
