The MBNA has worked with the City of Miami Beach for several years on the "Indian Creek Drive Flooding and Mitigation Project" that serves to mitigate flooding on Indian Creek Drive from 41st to 26th streets.  The project also included new wider  sidewalks, new lighting system, a continuously delineated protected bike lane, and a lushly landscaped pedestrian pathway along most of the stretch.  We're happy to announce that the first phase of this project is now complete. 

The MBNA will continue to monitor the landscaping phase, the construction of the seawall sections, new comfortable bus shelters, and the installation of Zicla bike delineators that are an essential component for everyone's safety.

MARCH 9, 2021 UPDATE:
During the 3/8/21 CMB Transportation Committee Meeting, it was discussed that due to the delays of the seawall project, the General Contractor is preparing a revised design as an alternative (at an additional cost.) This is the only way they can proceed to finish the installation of the Jersey Barriers and the two road lanes by the end of 2021, without having to complete the entire stretch of the seawall. 
LOCATION OF NEW GENERATOR.
The MBNA is in support of the City's decision for the new emergency generator to be installed on the northwest corner of the 27th street parking lot on Indian Creek Drive.  Reasons why the emergency generator should be placed in this location include:
1.  Proximity to the pumps on 32nd street;
2. Less noise and visual impact to residential neighbor condo units and hotels;
3. Preservation of parking spaces on the 27th street public parking lot;
4.  Ample space for foliage covering to improve the generator's aesthetics;
5. Easily accessible for maintenance operations.
ON FEBRUARY 9, 2021, THE HISTORIC PRESERVATION BOARD VOTED 4-3 IN FAVOR INSTALLING THE NEW GENERATOR ON THE CORNER OF THE 27th Street PARKING LOT THAT MBNA ADVOCATED FOR. ​
