From the communities along the corridor to the members of the Project Advisory Team, everyone played a crucial role in forming the results and conclusions contained in this study. 2 STATE ROAD (SR) 5/US 1/DIXIE HIGHWAY FROM SR 94/SW 88 STREET/KENDALL DRIVE TO SR 9/I-95 This report compiles the results of the State Road (SR) 5/US 1/ Dixie Highway from SR 94/SW 88 Street/Kendall Drive to SR 9/I-95 Corridor Study and includes: › Findings from the study › Recommendations for walking, bicycling, driving, and transit access needs along US 1 between Kendall Drive and I-95 › Next steps for implementing the recommendations This effort is the product of collaboration between the Florida Department of Transportation District Six and its regional and local partners. FDOT and its partners engaged the community at two critical stages of the study – during the identification of issues and during the development of recommendations. The community input helped inform the recommended strategies but the collaboration cannot stop here. Going from planning to implementation will take additional coordination and, in some instances, additional analysis. FDOT is able and ready to lead the effort but will continue seeking the support of community leaders, transportation and planning organizations, and the general public!

Gann: Top: mahogany mistletoe (Phoradendron rubrum), a tropical species that grows only on Key Largo, and one of South Florida’s rarest species. Mahogany poachers and habitat loss in the 1970s brought this species to near extinction in South Florida.

This and other rare epiphytes are threatened by poaching, hydrological change, and exotic pest plant invasions.

  • Chapman Field–The Evolution of a South Dade Army Airdrome
    58 Chapman Field-The Evolution of a South Dade Army Airdrome Raymond G. McGuire Cobbled together to encompass more than 850 acres of pineland, scrub, marsh, and seashore, the army airfield that came to be named after the first U.S. flier killed in France during World War I saw active service for only two months before the war ended. Thereafter local horticulturists and aviation interests vied for control of the property as development crept around its perimeter. With much of the acreage remaining park- land or agricultural through the end of the twentieth century, Chapman Field has persisted as an identifiable entity in Miami-Dade County with a locally recognized name long after its airstrips have vanished.1 Powered flight had barely passed its first decade when the war in Europe erupted in 1914, but German, French, and English govern- ments quickly saw the strategic advantages to be gained from the air- plane over the battlefield. During the first years of the war the United States had a chance to watch from the sidelines, and it, too, discovered that air power was a potentially great new tactic. The U. S. Army had few pilots, however, and few bases for training more; in Florida, only the Naval Air Station in Pensacola was operational. America entered the war on April 6, 1917, and, in a wave of federal spending, $640 million was appropriated by Congress on July 24 of that year for military aeronautics. Many private schools of aviation were taken over by the military, such as Curtiss Field in Miami, and new airfields were estab- lished throughout the country.

  • Victor's Field – the Story of Chapman Field
    Victor’s Field The Story of Chapman Field Scott F. Kenward, DMD April, 2009 In the southeast corner of the Village of Pinecrest, there is a road that seems to have a mind of its own. Diving diagonally southeastward through the regular grid of avenues and streets, Chapman Field Drive crosses Ludlam Road on a beeline to Biscayne Bay, terminating at Old Cutler Road. Less than a half mile south of that intersection on Old Cutler now stands the entrance to three prominent local landmarks: The Deering Bay Yacht & Country Club, the United States Department of Agriculture’s Subtropical Horticulture Research Station and Dade County's Chapman Field Park. All three properties share a common ancestry, the U.S. Army’s Cutler Aerial Gunnery Field, later renamed, Chapman Field. Cutler Field America had remained neutral for the first three years of World War I, which ignited in Europe in 1914. During that time, the US military began to closely watch the development of air warfare over England, France and Germany and realize the advantages of having aircraft over the battlefield. By the time America entered the war in 1917, Congress was ready to appropriate $640 million for military aeronautics. As powered flight was still in its infancy, there were few American pilots and fewer air bases on which to train them. In Florida, only Pensacola’s Naval Air Station was operational at the time. New airfields were built throughout the country, including seaplane bases at Key West and at Dinner Key in Coconut Grove. So, in 1917, 850 acres of pineland, scrub, marsh and seashore were purchased from Walter H.
