Video: Here’s What It’s Like To Walk Through Lively Brickell On A Sunday Night

YouTube channel 4kWalk took a stroll through Brickell last year and captured it on camera.

The video was taken in May 2021, a little over a year after the start of the pandemic.

According to the intro, the footage was taken at 9:30PM on a Sunday night – a time when most other cities around the world would have much quieter streets, as residents settle down for the upcoming week of work.

In a comment, the channel’s administrator noted that the city had drastically changed in recent years.

Next to impossible?

DM me and I’ll introduce you to the person who taught me how to walk.

She’s great! I can walk all around Brickell (even while chewing gum!) With no problem at all!

The scooters are dangerous. Should never be on sidewalks.

No, with narrower sidewalks it looks more busy. The streets cannot get any narrower anymore.

the streets are already narrow, and our delivery trucks are meant for your fetishized narrow streets.

Brickell could use better street interaction that aren’t just a couple retail bays and giant parking pedestals with an ugly murals plastered over it. You know, for outdoor dining?

Have you actually walked on Miami Avenue in Brickell? It is loaded with outdoor diners 7 days a week.

His channel regularly shows south florida in a positive light. Even Brickell is about to even add more density to its western, northern and southern parts.

Thank you for the video TNM. It actually shows what all the construction we see going on and the other new projects that are planned for Brickell, downtown, the Arts District, Edgewater, and Wynwood are for in changing the dynamics of Miami. And the video shows you can get to all of it on a convenient Metromover ride!

Tell that to posters on here who refuse to walk more than two blocks and want a Metromover extension and over every street and block, which would in turn ruin the walkability.

Nobody wants or expects a Metromover extension to go over every street and block in Miami. If you prefer walking every where as your means of getting there, then by all means walk, no one will prevent you. The Metromover has been up and in service for over thirty years and I think the forefathers in Miami who envisioned it certainly didn’t expect it to just end where it has now and scratch our heads about what should be done with it now and in the future. Forty five to fifty year ago, elected officials really had knowledge, insight, and vision in Miami.

If we could get this volume of traffic on the length of both Brickell Ave and 8th street in addition to S Miami Ave, that would be impressive. But for now, it’s really just S Miami Ave.

This video was taken when NY was still asking restaurant patrons to show vaccine ID in order to be served inside and some areas of Manhattan was still shut down.

New York City has a population of about eight million people. Miami hasn’t even reached five hundred thousand people yet.

So what’s your point?

And? What’s your point pal? This is MIAMI we are talking about. No draconian shutdown here.

My point?.. my point is that NYC has a much, much greater population to worry about.

Stop trying to compare Miami to other cities.. especially when there is a governor in Florida who’s trying to drag the state back into draconian type thinking.

That’s why I love Miami. You go to literally any other city anywhere and you’ll maybe see one other person every couple hours. Just loose newspaper sheets floating across empty streets kinda empty. Pathetic.

Jealous! Sacrifice your self. Many of those you see in the video studied hard for many years to have a good job and be able to pay to live well.
