Yesterday marked the groundbreaking of the 16.5 acre Miami Central Station, the central hub of the project that is slated to link South Florida\u2019s ground-transport system to the Miami International Airport. <\/p>\n<p>On Thursday, officials from the Florida Department of Transportation jointed reps from Amtrak and Greyhound, as well as Miami-Dade Transit Metrorail and Metrobus, to kick off the new project. \u201cThe Miami Central Station will be a main transfer point between the rail and bus systems available for resident commuters and visitors to South Florida,\u201d Gus Prego, district secretary, said. \u201cIt will also feature an enhanced Tri-Rail station, connections to the Miami Rental Car Center, MIA Mover, Metrorail and Metrobus, Amtrak, Greyhound and courtesy shuttle services, as well as taxis and private vehicles.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The entire Miami Intermodal Center undertaking, classified as a major project by the federal government, is partially funded by two loans under the Transportation Infrastructure Finance and Innovation Act. One loan, for $269 million, was closed in 2000 and represented the first stage of the project. Currently, FDOT has spent more than $1 billion on the MIC. <\/p>\n<p>The $147 million central station, when completed, will cover 16.5 acres and will serve in a capacity similar to New York City\u2019s Grand Central Station, connecting all types of transport in the Miami-Dade County area. <\/p>\n<p>The increasingly busy Miami market has been in need of a consolidated transit system for some time. A study by the Centre for Asia Pacific Aviation placed the Miami International Airport at the top of a list for the percentage of U.S. international flights and second by volume of international passengers. And a report by Jones Lang LaSalle saw a 2.8 percent increase in retail asking rents going into the second quarter of 2011 &#8212; a rare bright spot in the nation\u2019s generally gloomy shopping landscape. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Yesterday marked the groundbreaking of the $147 million, 16.5 acre Miami Central Station, the central hub of the project that is slated to link South Florida&#8217;s ground-transport system to the Miami International Airport. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1201,"featured_media":1004032670,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[21808,21742],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1004032669","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-featured","category-latest"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v23.4 (Yoast SEO v24.6) -
