Senate and House lawmakers also aren’t in agreement on budget earmarks for two bicycle and pedestrian paths stretching 30 miles along Miami-Dade County’s primary transit corridor.
Under the Senate plan for 2023-24, a 10-mile linear park under the Metrorail called the Underline would receive $1.5 million for upgrades.
The same sum would go to the South Dade Trail, a route running 20 miles alongside U.S. 1 and the South Dade Transitway between the Metrorail’s southernmost station in Kendall and Florida City.
The House proposal more generously offers the Underline and South Dade Trail $2 million and $3 million, respectively.
