Biscayne Green: Reimagining the Boulevard
Designed as an ‘urban intervention,’ the Biscayne Green demonstration project will repurpose a segment of Downtown’s signature thoroughfare, transforming surface parking lots into public open space with the hopes to engage the Downtown community and invite them to experience the Boulevard in a different way, bringing activity to city streets at a time when pedestrian-friendly solutions are so desperately needed.

Spanning 20 days and featuring various events weekly, Biscayne Green will have something for everyone.  But while it’s designed to entertain, it will also help reveal what can be achieved when people get out of their cars and onto the street.
