The City of Miami has approved final design plans for a roughly $5 million public-private enhancement of Kirk Munroe Park and Fuller Street in Coconut Grove, working with developer Allen Morris Co., according to Florida YIMBY.

What did the City of Miami approve for Kirk Munroe Park?

The City of Miami approved final design plans for a park and street improvement project covering Kirk Munroe Park and Fuller Street in Coconut Grove, a partnership with Allen Morris Co., according to Florida YIMBY. The source reports a total project value of about $5 million. The source did not supply the specific approval date, so this article does not state one.

  • Final design plans cleared city approval, according to Florida YIMBY.
  • Allen Morris Co. is the private partner in the arrangement.
  • Kirk Munroe Park and Fuller Street are the two sites covered.
  • Florida YIMBY places the overall package at about $5 million.

How much is the City of Miami paying for the project?

The City of Miami has committed $3 million to the project through its Capital Improvements Plan, according to Florida YIMBY. That figure is a portion of the roughly $5 million total the publication reports, which implies the remainder comes from the private side of the partnership, though the source summary does not itemize that share.

  • City commitment: $3 million, per Florida YIMBY.
  • Funding source: the city's Capital Improvements Plan, per Florida YIMBY.
  • Total project cost: about $5 million, per Florida YIMBY.

What improvements are planned for Coconut Grove?

Florida YIMBY reports that the plans include new recreation facilities, pedestrian infrastructure and native landscaping across Kirk Munroe Park and along Fuller Street in Coconut Grove. The park and the street are treated as a single package, so changes to walking conditions on Fuller Street are designed alongside the park's new amenities.

  • New recreation facilities at Kirk Munroe Park.
  • Pedestrian infrastructure improvements along Fuller Street.
  • Native landscaping throughout the project area.

What happens next?

Florida YIMBY's report covers the approval of final design plans but, in the information available to MiamiBeacon, does not give a construction start date or a completion date. Residents looking for scheduling details should watch City of Miami announcements and Allen Morris Co. updates for confirmation of dates once they are published.
