  • Section 2.1: Architectural Styles
    SECTION 2.1: ARCHITECTURAL STYLES BRIEF HISTORY OF THE CITY OF MIAMI Before the first European settlers set foot in South Florida; the Tequesta people inhabited this land. The Tequesta’s alongside other natives reached the astonishing number of 100,000 in population. Together they developed a complex society of living in communities that were planned and executed by early construction projects. The Tequesta people left behind a heritage in archaeological resources including the Miami Circle, Miami River Rapids, and the North Bank of the Miami River which all add greatly to the remarkable cultural patrimony of Miami. The first permanent European settlers arrived to South Florida in the early 19th century. Two families with Bahamian roots, received land grants from the Spanish Government when they owned Florida. These settlers were joined by Bahamian immigrants looking for employment, the Seminole Indians, and runaway slaves. They ferociously disputed the non-native absorption of Seminole lands in three Seminole Wars (1817-1818, 1835-1842, and 1855-1858). Few United States soldiers stayed after the end of the third and last Seminole War. It wasn’t until 1846 when South Florida was first surveyed the area flourished once the United States implemented the “Homestead Act” in 1862 which granted 160 acres of land to men willing to live on the land for at least five years. Important early residents included William Brickell and Julia Tuttle who brought the early Spanish grants. Together they convinced Henry Flagler to expand his rail line south to Miami. With the railroad, progress came to Miami and the first building boom occurred in 1900s to 1930s.

    ANNUAL REPORT 2013 2014 MESSAGE TO OUR ABOUT US: The Miami Downtown Development Authority is an independent agency of the City of Miami DWNTWNRS funded by a special tax levy on properties within its district boundaries. The agency is governed by a 15-member board of directors, which includes three public appointees and 12 downtown property As we look back on the past year and embark on the one ahead, the facts are undeniable: Downtown Miami owners, business owners, and/or residents. The board sets policy direction, which is implemented by continues to defy expectations as one of the largest and most viable urban centers in the country. With dozens of a multi-disciplinary team under the oversight of the executive director. cranes proliferating our skyline and new construction on the rise, a livable and walkable urban core has gone from being a promise to a reality. Today, Downtown Miami stands tall with more than 220,000 people working and 80,750 people living in the district. This marks a population growth of more than 100 percent over the past decade – painting a picture of one of the fastest growing and youngest demographics in the country. Although the past year has welcomed a flurry of exciting developments, next year holds even more promise. Yet, we don’t need to tell you of this transformation; you see it unfold each and every day. From the launch of Pérez Art Museum Miami, to the soon-to-be-completed Patricia and Phillip Frost Museum of Science, to the successful Adrienne Arsht Center for the Performing Arts and the AmericanAirlines Arena, Downtown Miami is earning its reputation as an epicenter for arts and culture.

  • Transportation Element
    TRANSPORTATION ELEMENT Introduction The purpose of the transportation element is to plan for an integrated multimodal transportation system providing for the circulation of motorized and non-motorized traffic in Miami-Dade County. The element provides a comprehensive approach to transportation system needs by addressing all modes of transportation—pedestrian and bicycle facilities, traffic circulation, mass transit, aviation and ports. The Transportation Element is divided into five subelements. The Traffic Circulation Subelement addresses the needs of automobile traffic, bicyclists and pedestrians. The Mass Transit Subelement addresses the need to continue to promote and expand the public transportation system to increase its role as a major component in the County's overall transportation system. The Aviation Subelement addresses the need for continued expansion, development and redevelopment of the County's aviation facilities; and the Port of Miami River and PortMiami Subelements continue to promote maritime business and traditional maritime related shoreline uses on the Miami River, and the expansion needs of PortMiami. The Adopted Components of the Transportation Element and each of the five subelements separately contain: 1) goals, objectives and policies; 2) monitoring measures; and 3) maps of existing and planned future facilities. These subelements are preceded by overarching goals, objectives and policies that express the County's intent to develop multi-modalism, reduce the County’s dependency on the personal automobile, enhance energy saving practices in all transportation sectors, and improve coordination between land use and transportation planning and policies. The Miami-Dade 2035 Long Range Transportation Plan (LRTP), is adopted to guide transportation investment in the County for the next 25 years.

  • William and Mary Brickell Founders of Miami and Fort Lauderdale by Beth Brickell
    book review By Patrick Scott William and Mary Brickell Founders of Miami and Fort Lauderdale by Beth Brickell For anyone who has wondered how two great cities, Miami and Fort Lauderdale, fi rst grew from a primeval wilderness, the answer is often given that Henry Flagler extended his railroad here from Saint Augustine. To the readers of local history who inquire further, “But how did a railroad magnate come to be interested in such an unsettled area in the fi rst place?,” the answer comes, “Julia Tuttle sent him fresh orange blossoms after the Central Florida crop was destroyed in a great winter freeze” in 1895. But for the real afi cionados of South Florida’s relatively short history, the Tuttle story turns out to be something of a myth. Both Miami and Fort Lauderdale actually owe their existence to a cranky Ohioan and his English wife who shunned publicity, lost all their papers in a storm and had no living descendants. Author Beth Brickell, pronounced Brick-ELL, is a Hollywood, Calif., producer and former journalist who fi rst encountered the BRICK-ell name while starring in a 1960s television program, Gentle Ben, fi lmed in Miami. Forty years later, she returned to uncover the long-buried story of the “First Family” of Miami. Ms. Brickell somehow got carried away with the depth of her research, contacting sources from Australia (where Charleston, SC: The William Brickell fi rst made his fortune) to California History Press, 2011. Acknowledgements, and Ohio. She ultimately wrote an entire book. introduction, photographs, maps, notes, bibliography, Though she is no relation to the subjects of her book, 126 pp.

  • The Major Mass-Transit Projects in Miami Under Discussion
    Here Are All the Major Miami-Dade Mass-Transit Proposals Under Discussion BY KYLE MUNZENRIEDER THURSDAY, MARCH 3, 2016 AT 9:59 A.M. When it comes to the future of public transit in Miami-Dade, one thing we're not suffering for is ideas. Oh, people have lots of ideas. Of course, ideas require studies, and those require agreements among various local governments and agencies. Then there's the process of figuring out which ideas are best to pursue. Finally, in perhaps the most important step, we have to figure out how to pay for those ideas. So in the end, very few of these bright ideas become reality — especially when it comes to building a completely new transit system or extending existing ones. As Miamians spiral into ever deeper levels of depression over the daily traffic nightmare, here are the major mass-transit projects that are in the idea phase. Some may actually happen one day. Tri-Rail's Coastal Link Tri-Rail is great at linking South Florida's three counties — if you need to travel between the western suburbs of those counties. A second line, dubbed Coastal Link, that would connect the downtowns of Miami, Fort Lauderdale, and West Palm Beach by running a track on the existing Florida East Coast Railway lines was announced in 2011. The original goal was to open by 2015. That, of course, has come and gone, but the plan is still very much alive. Tri-Rail's governing agency, the South Florida Regional Transportation Authority, has plans to extend a link into downtown Miami from the existing system by 2017 (it would split off from the Hialeah station).
