Beachwalk,
Florida
Coastal Systems International, Inc., in conjunction
with Bradshaw Gill & Associates (the landscape architect),
prepared conceptual designs for an on-grade paver block
walkway that connects Lummus Park to the 21st Street
wooden boardwalk. The beachwalk measures approximately
3,400’ by 15’ and connects to each of the
five street ends. Adequate ramp slopes and curves were
provided to comply with ADA requirements and to accommodate
emergency vehicles.
Coastal
Systems worked closely with the Department of Environmental
Protection (DEP) Bureau of Beaches and Coastal Systems
as well as Dade County Department of Environmental Recourse
Management (DERM) and the City of Miami Beach in order
to obtain state and local approval. Extensive public
meetings were held to acquire authorization from the
riparian upland owners. Civil drawings included grading,
paving, and drainage, as well as utility service connections
and street end designs to extend 17th and 18th Streets.
Marine turtle lighting and construction administration
services were also provided.
