Miami commissioners are scheduled to vote on a funding agreement for the recreational space to be built under Downtown Miami’s Signature Bridge (previously known as The Underdeck).
The 33-acre space is expected to include an amphitheater, event lawn, community plaza, children’s play area, dog play area, multi-use court, and water feature, a resolution text states.
FDOT will plan, design, and construct the space, according to the resolution.
The vote would authorize the city manager to negotiate an agreement where the city would fund an amount of up to $10.8 million.
The state would contribute $11.5 million, while a federal grant would add $60.4m (the previously announced grant is the largest such award in city history).
That would bring total funding to $82.7m.
City of Miami commissioners are scheduled to vote on the agreement on December 12.
Completion of the Signature Bridge is scheduled for late 2027.
