Plan Z: Rickenbacker Park

At the intersection of architecture and public health is Plan Z for Miami, a not-for-profit organization founded with the purpose of restoring safety and vitality to South Florida’s most preferred waterfront destination spot for exercise and recreation: Rickenbacker Causeway.

Plan Z for Miami seeks to transform this outdated, dangerous, single-use infrastructure into a world class, multi-modal recreational asset that promotes physical activity, health and well-being within a natural and safe environment. The concept for PLAN Z FOR MIAMI was generated in response to the recurring deaths of cyclists on the Rickenbacker Causeway in Miami-Dade County.

PLAN Z’s goal is to help minimize cycling risks while providing uninhibited access to clean air and exercise in a safe, scenic environment. Our vision for the future includes a bridge replacement and site modifications which will guard against rising sea levels.
