Atlantic Greenway Network

Miami Beach is a major tourist destination for travelers worldwide. Its climate, beaches, culture and nightlife have made it a trend-setting hotspot for decades. Although the city is home to over 90,000 residents, during high season, the number of visitors reaches into the millions. The arterial roadways are highly urbanized corridors that experience heavy volumes of traffic, especially during fluctuations in population. Any corridor improvements or reconfigurations require large construction expenditures, which result in even heavier congestion. Additionally, most roadways do not offer bicycle lanes to promote alternative transportation and are often a safety hazard.

To help offset congestion, the City of Miami Beach began the process of integrating its bicycle, pedestrian and greenway facilities into the Atlantic Greenway Network (AGN). The AGN is a section of the larger East Coast Greenway Network, the nation's longest connected bicycle and walking route. The East Coast Greenway is approximately 3,000 miles of trails that connect the southernmost point of Florida to the state of Maine.

In Miami Beach, the AGN network knits together elements of the city's bicycle/pedestrian transportation system: the north-south Beach Corridors running parallel to the dunes, and the Neighborhood Trails that provide access to the beach, parks, schools, and the commercial, cultural and civic destinations. The AGN encourages and fosters the development of multi-modal transportation systems throughout the City, including integration and connection to the existing and proposed transit systems; linkages to existing and proposed multi-modal transportation centers; and the creation of a network of safe transportation alternatives. The overall goal of the AGN is to provide seamless multimodal connectivity along Miami Beach’s streets and greenways.
