The Underline's bike and walk trail is complete. It's named after a billionaire
Nearly eight years after groundbreaking, The Underline is celebrating a new milestone: the completion of its 10-mile, bike-and-walk path, named after a buzzy billionaire whose moniker seems to be taking over Miami. The Kenneth C. Griffin Urban Trail is the latest installment of the 120-acre urban park, which runs under Metrorail tracks and has been under construction since 2018. The stretch, which runs from Brickell to Dadeland, combines pedestrian and cycling trails with micro-forests, jungle gyms, public art and wellness classes. Some of those amenities remain under construction, according to Underline officials, who say the park will reach its finished form in early 2027. For now, cyclists and runners can enjoy an uninterrupted trek along the corridor sans dust, bright orange traffic cones or safety barricades. It was “some crazy idea that took this underutilized, forgotten space and turned it into something that is truly iconic,” said Miami-Dade County Mayor Daniella Levine Cava at Thursday’s ribbon-cutting ceremony for the trail in Coral Gables. She was joined by county parks and transportation leaders, officials from the cities of Miami and Coral Gables, South Florida philanthropists, nonprofit Friends of The Underline and dozens of the park’s team members. “I hope that it

A developer promised Miami a new fire station and park. What went wrong? | Opinion
It was sold as a great deal for Miami: A developer would build a Mercedes-Benz-branded skyscraper partially on taxpayer-owned land that housed a fire station in Brickell. In exchange, the city would get public benefits, including an improved park and cash payments. The primary benefit: a new, $8 million fire station. A 2020 agreement between the city and the developer — a subsidiary of JDS Development Group — stated the mixed-use project would create “state of the art... transit-oriented urban development” with “much needed retail uses and amenities.” The development is planned to go next to Southside Park, across from the Brickell Metrorail and Metromover stations and the Underline. That vision may still come true. But, for now, construction of the 800-unit Mercedes-Benz Places has mostly stalled as the developer faces financing complications. The fire station on Southwest Second Avenue has been demolished and moved to four, on-site trailers provided by the developer in one of Miami’s busiest and most flood-prone neighborhoods. The promised station at the base of the project has not yet been constructed. Miami has yet to see the payoff from this deal, and current city leaders are angry they inherited it from a previous administration. Mayor

Patients with 3 health insurance plans lose access to Miami health network
The University of Miami Health System announced it will no longer accept three Medicare Advantage plans next year, requiring patients to find new insurance coverage or doctors to get in-network care. As thousands of people in South Florida review their health insurance plans during open enrollment, UHealth says Aetna, Preferred Care Network and Solis Health Plans are going away. The coverage allowing patients to be treated in-network by UHealth doctors and at the system’s facilities will end after Dec. 31, UHealth said in a statement to the Miami Herald. UHealth patients who are affected either need to sign up with new plans accepted by the system or find new doctors and hospitals. UHealth has added two Medicare Advantage plans — HealthSun and Simply Healthcare Plans — that will join the network Jan. 1, 2027. Both plans will include access to UHealth primary care doctors. “We have notified all of our impacted patients about this change, giving them the opportunity during open enrollment to select an insurance plan that includes UHealth,” the system said in a statement to the Miami Herald, which added that the insurance companies dropped the health system.
