While neighborhoods like Wynwood, Brickell and Midtown have grown in popularity, Lincoln Road has become stale for many locals and tourists. City of Miami seems to agree, and as a result, commissioned a renowned landscape architecture firm to dream up a new vision for the mall.
Last year, James Corner Field Operations presented a lush reimagination of the public space, featuring redesigned planters with seating carved out along the edges, a reorganization of cafe tables toward the center to create a streamlined experience for pedestrians, and better lighting among other upgrades. The goal is to start the renovation by April 2018.
