Lincoln Road Seeks a Makeover

Is Lincoln Road in need of a facelift? The South Beach tourism mainstay hasn’t undergone a makeover in many years, and it could definitely use some sprucing up. Whether it’s replacing and installing some new lighting or replacing some of the worn pavement, the outdoor mall may benefit from some new touches to keep it competitive with Miami’s other notable tourism hotspots like the Brickell area and the artsy Wynwood neighborhood.
While Miami Beach figures out how to go about financing Lincoln Road’s $77 makeover, there is already a master plan in place developed by the same firm that designed the popular High Line over in New York City.
Plans to spruce up Lincoln Road have been in the works for about five years now. These plans would likely include adding more green spaces to the roadway, building additional spots for the public to sit, rethinking the organization of the outdoor tables seen at the many various cafes, adding performance spaces, as well as improving the artwork.
