Recently, City of Miami Mayor Tomas Regalado declared March as Miami Bike Month. And why shouldn’t it? The latest gathering of the monthly event Critical Mass, drew hundreds of people, including celebrity cyclists and NBA megastars Dwyane Wade and Lebron James. Cycling has become the latest “thing” in Miami. However, it could be more than just a monthly ride. Why not see cycling as a serious solution to the traffic congestion problems in and out of the city? Cities like Amsterdam and Chicago seem to think of it as a real solution. It doesn’t have to just be about bikes either, car sharing has become a major business as well and could also assist with making our streets safer. What if there was a place in Miami, built infrastructure, that helped promote these solutions? Well there could be…..that’s where DawnTown needs your help.
We are officially launching our new architecture ideas competition for 2014, called Alternative Mobilities. The competition is open to professionals and students of architecture and other design fields to come up with a new type of transportation hub. One that acts as a generator for new ways to move around downtown in a more sustainable fashion.
