Next phase for the Underline set to open

• The 2.14-mile segment connects downtown Brickell at SW 13th Street to north Coconut Grove at SW 19th Avenue.

Catch up quick: The project's first phase, Brickell Backyard, opened in 2021 and runs along the Miami River to SW 13th Street.

• The half-mile segment includes biking and walking paths, an outdoor gym and gathering spaces.

The trail will feature three amenity areas, according to the Miami Herald:

• The Hammock Playground, with nature-inspired equipment.
• Vizcaya Station Plaza, a shaded seated area designed to host community events.
• The Rain Garden, which includes the first of a series of planned bioswales to collect and filter rainwater.

Yes, but: Vizcaya Station could face issues that have emerged since Brickell Backyard debuted, like people walking on the bike paths, obstructing cyclists and ignoring signs, the outlet reported.

• Meg Daly, founder and president of Friends of the Underline, the nonprofit that oversees the trail, acknowledged to the Herald the need for more education, but said "there will be a lot of compliance."

What's next: The final phase — a 7-mile stretch — is set to open in late 2025 or early 2026, the newspaper reported.

• It will run through Coconut Grove, Coral Gables and South Miami, and conclude at the Dadeland South station.
