MDX Milestones and Events
SR 836 Extension Opens |
 |
MDX and its community partners celebrated the opening of the 3-mile extension of SR 836/Dolphin Expressway in June. Viewed as a major step toward a solution to Miami’s traffic concerns, the roadway provides drivers heading to and from the western part of the county with a more direct connection to the central and downtown sections of Miami. It is the area’s first SunPass-only Open Road Tolling roadway. |

MDX Unveils Kitty Roedel Bike Path |
 |
On Saturday, December 8, 2007, MDX opened a two-mile bike path stretching from N.W. 87th to N.W. 107th Avenue. Named after former MDX Board Member Kitty Roedel, who served from 1995-2005, the path is an acknowledgement of her leadership in incorporating greenways in transportation improvement projects. The bike path is part of an extensive beautification project along the western portion of SR 836 through to 137th Avenue that will include native plantings, a wide array of palm trees, flowering trees and shrubs. |
