Miami Lakes was awarded $85,000 to use toward its Greenways and Trails project running along N.W. 77 Court as part of the 2015 Transportation Alternatives Program (TAP) cycle.
This new greenway will be added to complement the Town’s existing and planned greenways. The 1.17 mile multi-purpose greenway trail will extend south on N.W. 77 Court from N.W. 154 Street to the future dog recreation area, as well as providing links to Miami Lakes Drive/N.W. 154 Street, the nearby N.W. 87 Avenue and local bus stops.
Shared-use paths are planned to be 10-12 feet wide to accommodate two-directional travel for both bicyclists and pedestrians.
The trail will be part of the Town’s Greenways and Trails Master Plan providing residents with multiple, easily-accessed trails to use for alternative modes of transportation. A broader network of multi-use paths will improve mobility for bicyclists allowing them to take advantage of Miami-Dade Transit’s Bike & Ride program.
