Brickell
According to Miami Today, a Miami-Dade commission committee has approved a plan that will start charging for the currently free metromover. The metromover provides frees transportation through Brickell, Downtown Miami and the Omni District.
There was talk of charging $1 to ride the metromover, but no word on what the new charges would be. It would cost the city $475,000 a year to upkeep a fare collecting system.
Over the course of three years, the landscape of Brickell has changed dramatically with the rise of Brickell City Centre by Swire Properties. On what was once mostly vacant land now sits three tall towers over three city blocks - with more growth on the way.
In the photos below, you can get a glimpse of the construction of Brickell City Centre from a Southwest view with RISE and REACH Brickell City Centre seen very prominently.
