MIAMI, METROMOVER, MIAMI, FLORIDA. DRAFT ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT STATEMENT SUBMITTED PURSUANT TO THE NATIONAL ENVIRONMENTAL POLICY ACT 42 U.S.C. 4332(2) (C)
The proposed action is construction of the Omni and Brickell legs of Miami's automated guideway system, known locally as Metromover. The CBD Core Loop portion of the Metromover System was opened for service in April 1986. This report identifies transportation and environmental impacts of constructing the Omni Leg (1.4 miles) and the Brickell Leg (1.1 miles). Impacts are compared with the No-Build Alternative. The project would increase transportation capacity in Downtown Miami, improve transit travel times for internal trips, increase the mode share of person trips using transit, and improve circulation and mobility among major activity centers within the study area. The project would adversely affect many bus riders from Miami Beach and the northern corridor, increasing their travel time to downtown, but would reduce travel time for Metrobus riders from the west and for Metrorail riders destined for Omni or Brickell.
