of The Underline project.</p>
<p>The Underline will be a 10-mile linear mobility corridor along the Metrorail and
will transform 120 acres of County-owned land below the existing Metrorail guideway
from the Miami River (Downtown) to the Dadeland South Metrorail Station into a first-class
multimodal corridor.</p>
<p>Phase 3 of The Underline is a 7.36-mile segment that connects from SW 19th Ave
near the Vizcaya Metrorail station to the Dadeland South Metrorail station. The entire
segment links numerous diverse communities including City of Miami, Coral Gables,
South Miami, and Unincorporated Miami-Dade County. Once finished, this phase will
provide separated pedestrian and bicycle paths, improvements to over 30 intersections,
access to public transportation, public Wi-Fi, enhanced lighting, and wayfinding.</p>
<p>The Underline corridor will improve both pedestrian and bicyclist safety while
also enhancing connectivity and access to eight Metrorail stations along the path.</p>
