    GREENWAY SUBCOMMITTEE  AND QUALITY OF LIFE JOINT MINUTES:
  Minutes of meeting
Apr. 8, 2002
3:00 PM
(THIS IS A PUBLIC DOCUMENT)
The Miami River Commission’s Greenway Subcommittee met as regularly scheduled, on the second Monday of the month, April 8, 2002, 9 am, Miami River Inn, 118 South River Drive, Marjory Stoneman Douglas Conference Room. Dr. Martin chaired the meeting, and the attendance sheets are enclosed. 

Brett Bibeau stated the Villagers (the oldest historic preservation organization in the County) approved a $25,000 grant to fund top quality historical markers along the Miami River Greenway.  Bibeau asked the Greenway design consultants to provide designs for the signage.

The Greenway subcommittee discussed the draft Miami River Corridor Urban Infill Plan.  The subcommittee requested the Greenway be proposed along Wagner Creek.  In addition, they requested the Greenway include not only cleats for recreational vessels to tie onto the Greenway, but sewage and electrical hook-ups where feasible.

The Trust for Public Land has contracted Curtis and Rogers, Kimley-Horn and Associates, and Greenways Inc., to create construction drawings for the Greenway’s development between I-95 and SW 12th Ave.  The consultants provided the subcommittee with a presentation on their progress.  The consultants stated the Greenway development will cost approximately $1,000 per linear foot, or $15-17 million for this section alone.  The consultants suggested a pedestrian swing bridge over the Seybold canal between Point Park and North River Drive.  The consultants will bring updated Greenway cross-sections before the Greenways subcommittee at their next meeting.

The next regularly scheduled meeting of the Greenways subcommittee is the second Monday of the month, May 13, 9 am, Miami River Inn, 118 South River Drive.

The meeting was adjourned.
