There are a lot of companies interested in participating in the South Beach light rail project.
Over 150 people representing contractors, engineers, rail car manufacturers and financial institutions from around the world attended a recent pre-proposal meeting on building a light-rail system in South Beach.
City staff managing the project told attendees that Miami Beach is booming like never before. Highlights include:
- Over 25% increase in daily population in the past decade
- Record number of building permits
- Record real estate prices and tax base
- Record hotel market
…all leading to ever worse traffic in South Beach, where almost half of residents don’t use a car as their primary form of transportation.
Proposals to build the first phase are due on May 10.
