Red Outline Of Where A Bay Walk Would Be Implemented On Miami's Waterfront
Related Group is envisioning a pedestrian bay walk along the water that would stretch from Edgewater down to Brickell according to Curbed Miami. The bay walk would allow access for pedestrians, bicyclists and provide benches throughout.
The survey was done by Arquitectonica, which was commissioned by Related Group.
Creating a clear path and connecting the whole bay walk would take time, but is plausible thanks to new construction in Edgewater that is making access to the water a lot easier.
