The 30-month Flagler Street Beautification downtown is starting its second year of construction with businesses struggling to get customers and keep their doors open.
Miami’s Downtown Development Authority has provided $5,000 apiece to businesses that have been hardest hit by the construction. On Friday, the authority is to add $2,000 more for each to help the businesses with rent and any problems that they’re facing as the city’s main east-west street – the dividing line between north and south – remains ripped up.

MIAMI WILDS: Miami-Dade commissioners approved last week an extension of the deadline for the county to satisfy conditions of a $13.5 million grant for the Miami Wilds water park, adjacent to Zoo Miami. The local government now has until June 23 to meet the grant conditions. The next steps include the signing of the lease by Mayor Daniella Levine Cava and the environmental assessments required by US Fish and Wildlife Service to be done by the developer before beginning construction. The 27.5-acre park would cost over $100 million and include a lazy river attraction, wave pools, slides of all sizes, kiddie pools, a beach with a shady landscape, a 200-room hotel, 15,000 to 20,000 square feet of retail, and large parking areas.

At its meeting today (6/9), the city commission is set to vote on a resolution reaffirming its endorsement of Plan Z and urging Miami-Dade County to immediately reopen the Request for Proposals (RFP) or reissue a similar RFP “to develop, maintain, and operate the Rickenbacker Causeway and associated recreational elements.”

ReefLine, which aims to sink a seven-mile underwater snorkel art trail and artificial coral reef starting 15 to 20 feet off the coast of Miami Beach’s Fourth Street this summer, has been set back as fundraising has fallen short.
In 2021, representatives told Miami Beach’s Sustainability Committee the first art installation of the seven-phase trail would be in the water by December 2021. However, it was delayed due to Covid-19 and moved to summer 2022.
