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

Brickell church land is set to become a high-rise. Goodbye to another open space | Opinion
Brickell residents are losing their battle to stop church land along Biscayne Bay from becoming a 75-story high-rise. Yes, they chose to live in Miami’s busiest corridor, where condo and business towers have created the city’s modern signature skyline. But the push for development over preservation risks hurting what makes Miami so attractive to so many people. The 619 Brickell By Nobu, a luxury condo building, is slated to rise behind First Miami Presbyterian Church at 609 Brickell Ave., now that one of the last hurdles to the project has been lifted. The city’s historic preservation board voted 6-1 on Nov. 3 to lift a historic designation from the church’s annexed school and parking lot, where the tower will be built. The board also voted to shrink the site’s historic boundary to just the church and a 15-foot buffer, the Herald reported. The area overlooking the bay behind the church has been used over the years by residents and food trucks. It has also been a welcome bit of open space along the waterfront. The $240 million sale of the land to developers would certainly help a church that has had money issues, but it has rocked First Miami’s congregation
