CONCLUSION & GOALS FROM PREVIOUS MASTERPLAN:

R
• LANDSCAPE DESIGN: TO BE AN ENJOYABLE DESIGN STRATEGY FOR RESIDENTS
AND VISITORS, FOSTER AND EXPRESS A UNIQUE IDENTITY FOR “TROPICAL
PARADISE” AND “LAKE PANCOAST”, AND TO CREATE STRONG PEDESTRIAN LINKS
ACROSS INDIAN CREEK.
• ECOLOGICAL STRATEGY: PROVIDE DIVERSE PLANT AND ANIMAL LIFE RETUNING
D
THE CREEK TO A MORE NATURAL CHARACTER. IDENTIFY AND PROMOTE
ECOLOGY OF THE WATER FOR THE BENEFIT OF THE GENERAL PUBLIC. SITE AREA
INCLUDES WETLAND DEMONSTRATION AREA, GREEN LINKS TO THE BEACH AND
VIEW NODES.
• PEDESTRIAN MOVEMENT STRATEGY: LINK PEDESTRIAN MOVEMENT INTO
EXISTING CIRCULATION SYSTEMS BOTH NORTH/SOUTH AS WELL AS EAST/WEST
FROM THE CREEK TO THE BEACH. IDENTIFY AND HIGHLIGHT “GATEWAYS” OR
NODES THAT SIGNIFY ENTRANCE AND EXIT.

PRIMARY PROJECT GOAL:
DESIGN A GREENWAY MASTERPLAN CONCEPT THAT IMPROVES THE LANDSCAPE AESTHICS AND
OPPORTUNITIES:
+
• OPPORTUNITY FOR ICONIC PUBLIC REALM THAT CAN BE ANCHORED TO THE NORTH AND SOUTH
PEDESTRIAN EXPERIENCE ALONG THE INDIAN CREEK WATERWAY. WITH IMPACTFUL PLAZA OR PARK SPACES.
• INDIAN CREEK VIEW OR OVERLOOK OPPORTUNITIES THAT OCCUR FROM THE 41ST STREET
PROJECT TO INCLUDE RESTORATION AND ENHANCEMENT OF THE LANDSCAPE BUFFER WITH THE BRIDGE, TO THE BRIDGE ITSELF; TO THE NORTH AND SOUTH FROM THE PEDESTRIAN BRIDGE; AND
INTRODUCTIONS OF A DIVERSE, LOW MAINTENANCE, TROPICAL, FLORIDA FRIENDLY, NATURALIZED, OVERLOOKING LAKE PANCOAST OR FUTURE MANGROVES TO THE SOUTH.
AND NATIVE PLANT PALETTE THAT ENCOURAGES THE RETURN OF THE AREA’S NATURAL FAUNA, AND • OPPORTUNITIES TO EDUCATE PUBLIC ABOUT MANGROVES TO THE SOUTH NEAR 25TH STREET &
TO PROMOTE THE ECOLOGY OF THE WATERWAY FOR THE BENEFIT OF THE GENERAL PUBLIC. COLLINS AVENUE.

-
• OPPORTUNITY TO RESTORE AND IMPROVE FLORA AND FAUNA WHICH WHILE IMPROVE THE QUALITY
OF LIFE.

ADDITIONAL PROJECT GOALS: CONSTRAINTS:

• INCLUDE A CONTINUOUS PEDESTRIAN CONNECTION FROM THE 41ST STREET BRIDGE SOUTHWARD • LIMITED SPACE BETWEEN THE ROADWAY BARRIER WALL AND SEAWALL AT POINTS NEAR 39TH
TO THE 29TH STREET PEDESTRIAN BRIDGE AND ONWARD TO FORM CONNECTION AT 25TH STREET STREET & 37TH TO 33RD STREETS TO THE SOUTH.

T
AND COLLINS AVENUE. • LIMITED ABILITY TO EXPAND PAVED SURFACE AT INTERSECTIONS FOR VIABLE PEDESTRIAN
• RESTORE VEGETATION IN AN EFFORT TO BUFFER NOISE, LIGHT POLLUTION AND PRIVACY FOR THE GATHERING ZONES AND CONNECTIONS EAST & WEST DUE TO VEHICLE BARRIERS.
RESIDENTS OF THE FLAMINGO DRIVE NEIGHBORHOOD.
• THE PROPOSED LANDSCAPE DESIGN SHOULD MAXIMIZE VIEWS TO THE CREEK ALONG ITS ENTIRE
LENGTH AND CONSIDER CPTED PRINCIPLES FOR PEDESTRIAN SAFETY.

NORTH NODE VIGNETTE

CAPITALIZING ON AN OPPORTUNITY TO MAKE AN ICONIC GREENSPACE, THE NORTH NODE ANCHORS THE INDIAN CREEK GREENWAY
WITH A UNIQUE WATERFRONT EXPERIENCE, A NEW LARGE MIAMI BEACH BUS SHELTER AND ELEVATED VIEWING AREAS COMPLETE
WITH LUSH TROPICAL VEGETATION. BY ELEVATING SPACES, THEY BECOME BOTH PROMINATE AND VISIBLE, NOT ONLY IMPORTANT AS
A DESIGN FEATURE BUT FOR CRIME PREVENTION THROUGH LACK OF ISOLATION. THIS AREA SERVES A MOST VIABLE LOCATION TO
ALLOW PEDESTRAINS DIRECT ENGAGEMENT TO THE WATERFRONT WITH A WATERFRONT PROMENADE.

TYPICAL PLAN VIGNETTE

ELABORATING ON THE “IDEAL SECTION”, THIS TYPICAL PLAN ILLUSTRATES THE IDEA THAT CROSS STREETS CAN BE BUFFERED TO
PREVENT LIGHT POLLUTION INTO THE RESIDENCES ACROSS THE CREEK TO THE WEST. SIGNIFICANT MOMENTS CAN BE CREATED
WITH VEGETATION TYPES AS DEPICTED HERE WITH A RED ROYAL POINCIANA TREE SERVEING AS THE BACKDROP AND KEY FEATURE
OF THE PEDESTRIAN BRIDGE. (OTHER SPECIES OR DESIGN ALTERNATIVES MAY BE EXPLORED) THE PATHWAY ITSELF MEANDERS BUT
MAINTAINS PLANTING BETWEEN WALK AND SEA-WALL SO THAT PLANTING CAN BOTH SOFTEN THE SEA-WALL AND PROVIDE PEDESTRIAN
SAFETY SET BACK FROM THE WATERS EDGE.

UPON APPROACHING THE SOUTH NODE FROM THE NORTH, THERE IS CURRENTLY A SIGNIFICANT VIEW OF LAKE PANCOAST. HOWEVER,
PLANS ARE UNDERWAY TO ACCOMMADATE MANGROVE GARDENS IN THIS ZONE. TO PRESERVE AN ALTERNATIVE VIEW EXPERIENCE,
AN ELEVATED SPACE WITH THE SIGNATURE SPECIMAN TREE MAY PROVIDE AN SPECIFIC VIEWING OPPORTUNITY FOR PATRONS ABOVE
THE MANGROVES BEFORE THEY MATURE. THIS METHOD OF VIEW MAY ALSO GIVING OPPORTUNITY FOR A MANGROVE OVERLOOK AND
EDUATIONAL SIGNAGE.
