Along with the visual and technical <br />assessment of the detrimental impacts of the USACE <br />Tentatively Selected Plan (TSP), C+R conceptually <br />designed, engineered, validated, and rendered hybrid <br />alternative solutions including nature-based features, <br />such as barrier islands, living shorelines, nearshore <br />artificial reefs and mangrove fringes in coastal areas, <br />elevated berms and bioswales in upland areas, with <br />some smaller floodwalls as a layered and tiered <br />defense. This hybrid solution would create 39 additional <br />acres of natural recreation lands for the City of Miami. <br />These technical recommendations along with rendered <br />graphics are an alternative that celebrates our heritage <br />of living with water. <br />Adaptive Redesign, Coastal and <br />Stormwater Adaptation, Green <br />Infrastructure, Climate Ready <br />Adaptation Concept Design, <br />Renderings <br />Neal Schafers, <br />Senior Manager |Planning, <br />Resilience + Transportation <br />Miami DDA | 305.379.6566 <br />schafers@miamidda.com <br />July, 2020 <br />August, 2020 <br />N/A <br />25,000.00
