Project Overview

This message is to share an update on the upcoming Park View Canal Sediment Removal and Flushing Improvement Project. Water sampling results continue to show a fecal indicator bacteria concentration that exceeds recreational water quality standards established by the Florida Department of Health within the Park View Canal and a "No Contact with Water" advisory remains in place. The advisory recommends not swimming or engaging in recreational water activities (i.e. fishing, kayaking, paddle boarding, etc.) along the waterway until the advisory is lifted. 



The City continues to prioritize improvements to the infrastructure and the above-ground sanitation in the proximity of Park View Canal and is planning future upgrades using the approved funding in the Fiscal Year 2023 - 2024 budget. As part of this current budget, $500,000 was approved for dredging design and permitting; the goal of the project is to improve water quality within the waterway.

What's Happening

The City of Miami Beach has contracted T.Y. Lin International to develop the construction documents necessary for the project. This includes completing design and permitting, and involves environmental regulatory agency-required bathymetric and geotechnical surveys within the waterways. The survey field work will be conducted by sub-contractors Manuel G. Vera & Associates, Inc. and Geosol, Inc. which will begin on Monday, May 6 and continue for approximately six weeks.

What to Expect:

• Survey crews of approximately seven people will be collecting samples by boats, along the shoreline, or on the kayak launch dock within Park View Canal and adjacent waterways.
