The Miami Beach Streetcar, Past and Future
Two Short Videos to Help Inform Miami Beach Voters.

Video footage of Miami Beach's historic streetcars of the 1920s and 30s and an informational video with computer-animated models of the new BayLink streetcar plan.




This video shows historic footage of the original Miami/Miami Beach streetcar, which operated throughout the art deco building boom of the 1920s and 1930s until replaced by buses.
Many thanks to Ed Ridolph for providing this footage.

This video shows a computer-animated model of the future streetcar, with virtual images of streetcars sharing travel lanes with cars and using signal technology to improve traffic flow. It details the new route, which follows much of the historic streetcar line but completes loops around South Beach and downtown Miami and also includes new transit lanes on the MacArthur Causeway. The video was funded by the Metropolitan Planning Organization and produced by the engineering firm that conducted the BayLink study.
