North Corridor

Project Scope and System Connection

The North Corridor is one of six rapid transit corridors included in the County’s Strategic Miami Area Rapid Transit (SMART) Program. Once built, it will extend approximately 10 miles along NW 27th Avenue, from the Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Metrorail Station to the Broward County line.

The project will serve residents in unincorporated Miami-Dade, Opa-locka, and Miami Gardens, and connect them to major destinations including Miami Dade College – North Campus, Opa-Loca Executive Airport and Hard Rock Stadium, among other activity centers.

When complete, the North Corridor will provide a seamless extension of the County’s Metrorail system, improving mobility for residents and businesses in northern Miami-Dade.

What is the North Corridor TOD Master Plan?

The purpose of the North Corridor Transit-Oriented Development (TOD) Master Plan is to create a strategy for guiding future growth and development along one of Miami-Dade County’s key SMART Program corridors. The plan will promote a mix of housing, jobs, and community amenities within walking distance of the proposed rapid transit stations, ensuring that residents benefit from a more connected and accessible transit system.

This study will establish a framework that aligns land use, mobility needs, and economic development goals with the planned transit investment. It will provide criteria for TOD development, identify opportunities for investment, and recommend strategies to revitalize communities along the corridor while improving mobility, affordability and quality of life.

The first community workshop was held at the Sherbondy Village Community Center on Wednesday, Oct. 22.

Beyond public transportation, the department plays a vital role in maintaining and enhancing the county’s transportation infrastructure. DTPW manages and maintains all countywide traffic signals, traffic control signs, street signage, pavement markings, and county- and state-owned street lighting systems to help keep roadways safe and accessible.

The department’s Public Works operations also oversee the construction, operation, and maintenance of movable and fixed bridges, roadway repairs, swales, guardrails, and county road rights-of-way. In addition, DTPW operates and maintains the iconic Rickenbacker and Venetian causeways, ensuring safe and seamless travel for residents and visitors alike.

The department is also committed to protecting the community and environment through management of the County Stormwater Utility, supporting flood prevention efforts, water quality protection, and maintenance of the secondary canal system.

To support responsible development and public safety, DTPW’s Public Works team manages permitting for all work within County rights-of-way and enforces compliance for unpermitted work.

Together, the Department of Transportation and Public Works is building smarter infrastructure, improving mobility, and creating stronger connections for the future.
