Thanks to widespread community support, The Underline is moving forward at breakneck speed to transform land below Miami’s Metrorail into a 10-mile linear park and urban trail. Now, with a new matching grant from Knight Foundation the master planning process is well underway.

In March James Corner Field Operations received the commission for the design. They are noted for helping nature to prevail in an urban setting—from New York’s High Line to Tongva Park in Santa Monica, Calif. Here, they hope to complete the master plan in less than six months.
