These six names are proposed for a new 33-acre park in Miami. You can help decide
A new linear park that would run underneath Interstate 395 needs a name, and you can help decide.
Called “The Underdeck” until a name is chosen, the planned 33-acre park would stretch from Downtown Miami near the MacArthur Causeway to Overtown, park space that will accompany an $840 million project that will make the interstate a double-decker highway. The concept is similar to the Underline, a park being built beneath the Metrorail line.
The Underdeck committee held an initial survey in August to narrow the list of potential names for the park. After feedback from the community, six names emerged as top contenders. A final public survey is now open to select the top three names for consideration for the Miami City Commission, which will vote on the final name and the associated branding.
The five-minute survey will be open until midnight Oct. 9. Here’s the link: https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/UnderdeckFinalNames
The online survey allows the public to rate the following six names and the associated branding packages, including logos. The logo designs are not final, according to the committee.
▪ The Stride Greenway ... from Overtown to the Bay
▪ Downtown Overtown Connection
▪ Towners Greenway
▪ Miami Overtown Downtown Mile
▪ The HEART ... from Overtown to the Bay
▪ Overtown Miami Way
