Miami 市拟拨500万美元推进 Ludlam Trail 本市路段 5.6英里废弃铁路走廊变步道
Miami——位于佛罗里达州迈阿密-戴德县的迈阿密市，拖延多年的 Ludlam Trail 步道项目有望获得来自 Miami 市的500万美元推进资金。市议会（City Commission）审议指示市经理在本财年内为市界范围内的步道段落编列并拨付500万美元，用于设计与建设；资金将来自市级合法可用财源，可能包括储备金。此前市议会9月24日通过的2026-27财年预算并未为该步道安排市级资金。
Ludlam Trail 规划沿一条废弃铁路走廊修建，全长5.6英里，连接 Northwest Seventh Street 与 Southwest 80th Street 之间地带，串联多个社区与公园、学校、公交站点、住宅、工作场所和商业区，供步行、跑步与骑行使用。该走廊的保护与改造努力始于2000年代初，Miami-Dade 县于2018年购入这条原 Florida East Coast Railway 走廊，其后完成环境研究与初步规划。
县级层面，县政府今年7月已与 Kimley-Horn and Associates 签订全线设计专业服务协议，合同金额最高953万美元、为期五年。县规划包括一条18英尺宽的共用步道，配景观、遮阴树、照明、座椅与标识，并与周边社区衔接；建设将视资金到位情况分阶段推进。
地方倡议者指出，Miami 市此次拟拨款的时机，正值县政府着手设计全线——市属路段可以与整体工程同步推进，而不是继续搁置。（GSM 据 Miami Today 报道）
Miami Considers $5 Million for Its Share of the Ludlam Trail, a 5.6-Mile Rail Corridor Turned Greenway
MIAMI — Miami is a city in Miami-Dade County, Florida. The long-delayed Ludlam Trail could get a $5 million push from the City of Miami. The City Commission has considered directing the city manager to budget and allocate $5 million this fiscal year for the design and construction of the trail segments inside city limits, using legally available city sources, potentially including reserves. The fiscal 2026-27 budget approved on September 24 had left the trail without city funding.
The Ludlam Trail is planned as a continuous 5.6-mile path for walking, running and bicycling along a former Florida East Coast Railway corridor between Northwest Seventh Street and Southwest 80th Street, connecting neighborhoods with parks, schools, transit, homes, workplaces and shopping areas. Efforts to preserve and transform the corridor were under way by the early 2000s; Miami-Dade County acquired it in 2018 and later completed environmental studies and preliminary plans.
At the county level, commissioners approved a professional services agreement with Kimley-Horn and Associates in July to design the full corridor, a contract valued at up to $9.53 million over five years. County plans call for an 18-foot-wide shared-use trail with landscaping, shade trees, lighting, seating, signs and connections to surrounding communities, with construction in phases as funding becomes available.
Supporters say the proposed city funding comes as the county begins designing the entire trail, giving Miami's portions a chance to advance alongside the broader project rather than remain stalled. (GSM, based on Miami Today reporting)
