  • Portmiami Cruise Terminal Miami, Florida
    CASE STUDY PortMiami Cruise Terminal Miami, Florida HISTORY In the early 1900s, a powerful hurricane hit the southern end of Florida, creating what is now called Government Cut, by splitting the southernmost tip of Miami Beach. This cut was dredged, along with a new channel, to Bicentennial Park in the heart of downtown Miami. The new access to the mainland created the Main Channel, and shipping access to the new port was greatly improved. The remains from the dredging were used to create three new islands, Dodge, Lummus, and Sam’s Islands. In 1960, the County and City commissioners of Miami-Dade approved the construction of the new PortMiami. This new port would be built on Dodge Island, which was to be connected to both Lummus and Sam’s Islands. Upon construction of the new seawalls, transit shed A, the administration building, and a new vehicle and railroad bridge, operations were transferred from the mainland port to the new PortMiami on the wholly man-made Dodge Island. PROBLEM PortMiami is recognized as the Cruise Capital of the World. It has retained its status as the number one cruise passenger port in the world for well over four decades, accommodating cruise vessels of many major cruise lines. In 2010, PortMiami handled more than 4.1 million cruise passengers. As the population of South Florida grew, so did the needs of PortMiami. The cruise industry supports one of the biggest economic generators for the region, tourism. PortMiami plans to remain number one by competing for the growing cruise industry. To accommodate for this growth, Unmatched Product Range Material Availability Manufacturing Capabilities Innovative Applications and Engineering Expertise CASE STUDY PortMiami Cruise Terminal the port must begin to invest in a new, larger Global and their supplier, Nucor Skyline, to PROJECT PARTNERS terminal complex.

Comprehensive maintenance performed by highly skilled Siemens technicians, who use proven solutions and the latest in Tom Rutkowski digital monitoring and analysis, helps keep the fleet running on schedule every day. VP of Engineering and Chief Mechanical Officer Client Objectives Brightline Brightline envisioned offering the ultimate passenger experience when it partnered with Siemens on the custom design of its five Venture trainsets. It also wanted to ensure on-time travel to make the train a real alternative to car trips bogged down by South Florida’s intense highway traffic. As manufacturing on the first trainset began in July 2015, Brightline recognized that a cutting-edge maintenance program would be crucial to keeping its trains on schedule. It would also be necessary to keep all five of its initial trainsets in running order during service hours. To ensure this high level of availability, Brightline signed a 30-year agreement to make Siemens its maintenance partner for the long term. Brightline began revenue service in January 2018. The maintenance program was up and running by then, operating out of a renovated depot in West Palm Beach that was updated to meet the special requirements of quick turnaround service.

  • Introduction Black Miamians Are Experiencing Racial Inequities Including Climate Gentrification, Income Inequality, and Disproportionate Impacts of COVID-19
    Introduction Black Miamians are experiencing racial inequities including climate gentrification, income inequality, and disproportionate impacts of COVID-19. Significant gaps in ​ wealth also define the state of racial equity in Miami. Black Miamians have a median wealth of just $3,700 per household compared to $107,000 for white 2 households. ​ These inequities ​ ​ reflect the consistent, patterned effects of structural racism and growing income and wealth inequalities in urban areas. Beyond pointing out the history and impacts of structural racism in Miami, this city profile highlights the efforts of community activists, grassroots organizations and city government to disrupt the legacy of unjust policies and decision-making. In this brief we also offer working principles for Black-centered urban racial equity. Though not intended to be a comprehensive source of information, this brief highlights key facts, figures and opportunities to advance racial equity in Miami. Last Updated 08/19/2020 1 CURE developed this brief as part of a series of city profiles on structural inequities in major cities. They were originally created as part of an internal process intended to ground ourselves in local history and current efforts to achieve racial justice in cities where our client partners are located. With heightened interest in these issues, CURE is releasing these briefs as resources for organizers, nonprofit organizations, city government officials and others who are coordinating efforts to reckon with the history of racism and anti-Blackness that continues to shape city planning, economic development, housing and policing strategies. Residents most impacted by these systems are already leading the change and leading the process of reimagining Miami as a place where Black Lives Matter.
