Miami Lakes 170th Street Greenway
The 170th Street Greenway serves as a critical pedestrian link for key recreational facilities, educational campuses, and numerous neighborhoods. Embracing the corridor’s existing shade tree canopy and waterside vistas, the .8-mile Greenway provides a passive recreational resource while improving the Town of Miami Lakes’ walkability.
The Greenway design preserved 100% of the existing native tree species through precise alignment of the multi-modal trail. Miller Legg provided landscape architecture, civil engineering, and traffic engineering, permitting, and utility coordination. Community drainage was enhanced through the Greenway’s design by providing improved drainage storage and treatment areas within the corridor. The Greenway also improved safety along the 170th Street corridor by providing a separation of pedestrian and vehicular uses.
