Walking or riding the Rickenbacker is a favorite for hundreds of folks each day. But the old adage there’s safety in numbers doesn’t apply here. The blog, Transit Miami, recently posted some ideas for transforming the roadway into a safer and more beautiful corridor, more in line with the linear park it is.
Some of the ideas proposed include reducing the speed limit to 35 mph and narrowing the lanes to discourage speeding (a “road diet”).
See all the suggestions and reader comments at: http://www.transitmiami.com/2010/02/02/transit-miami-recommendations-for-the-rickenbacker-causeway/
With the Virginia Key Master Plan being revamped, now is the time to “Rethink the Rickenbacker” or “Take Back the Rickenbacker.” Either statement would look good on a sign at the next Commission Meeting.
