Miami Moves Closer To Metrorail Expansion
Though funding is not ensured, the Miami-Dade Transit Authority has received permission from the federal government to start acquiring land for its 9.5 mile Metrorail line expansion.
"Miami-Dade Transit cleared a major milestone Thursday for the development of the first new Metrorail line since the original one opened in 1984.
Transit received federal permission to start acquiring 114 parcels of land along Northwest 27th Avenue for the 9.5-mile North Corridor extension. Estimated cost of the land: $176 million.
'This is a major victory, one that's been a long time coming,' said county Commissioner Barbara Jordan, who represents a large portion of the corridor. 'It really assures that this is going to happen.'
