Miami-Dade Mayor Opposes Brightline’s $927M Coastal Link Rail Plan
Miami-Dade Mayor Daniella Levine Cava has expressed opposition to Brightline's proposed $927 million commuter rail project, known as the Coastal Link. The mayor's office stated that the current tax-funded proposal fails to adequately protect taxpayers while providing service between Miami and Aventura. The plan aims to use existing tracks for street-level trains along U.S. 1, with stops in Wynwood, Little Haiti, and near FIU’s Biscayne Bay campus. City officials remain committed to negotiating a revised agreement that meets their standards.
