Ludlam Trail Is Just the Beginning - Here's the Bigger Plan | Ralph Rosado & Julio Robaina

Commissioner Ralph Rosado and Julio Robaina join us to tell the story of the Miami Loop — an idea first conceived 26 years ago that's finally becoming a reality. They walk us through how the plan came together, the dozen agencies and jurisdictions involved in projects like the Ludlam Trail, and how funding is being secured to bring the vision to life.

We also get into the Underline's near completion, new legislation to fund trail maintenance, the upcoming Miami Loop Summit on October 10th, similar projects in Atlanta and New York City, and plans for bridges and walkways over major streets. Plus updates from the City of Miami and Julio's personal involvement in making the Loop happen.

This is one of the most ambitious infrastructure projects in Miami's history — and it's finally coming together.
