POINT OF CONTACT TELEPHONE NUMBER <br />Trust for Public Land (TPL) Ms. Mildred Ramos Majoros 305-667 -0409 <br /> <br />24 BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF PROJECT AND RELEVANCE TO THIS CONTRACT (Include scope, size, and cost) <br /> <br />Over two-thirds of the children living in East Little Havana do <br />not live near a park, playground or other safe place to play. <br />And, with one of the highest residential densities in the City of <br />Miami, overcrowded housing conditions are not uncommon. <br /> <br />The East Little Havana Greenprint is part of the Trust for <br />Public Land's Parks for People Initiative, a program in cities <br />and suburbs across America to ensure that everyone - in <br />particular every child - enjoys access to a park, playground or <br />open space. <br /> <br />The East Little Havana Greenprint is a grassroots planning <br />process that engages public, private and civic partners to <br />identify park-building opportunities and reconnect East Little <br />Havana's residents to recreational and open space <br />resources. This will provide residents of this neighborhood <br />with healthier lifestyle choices, minimize health problems <br />such as childhood obesity, and support redevelopment efforts <br />by beautifying areas to encourage residential and commercial <br />investment. <br /> <br /> <br />EDAW led a team in developing a strategic action plan that identifies opportunities for new parks, trails, open spaces and gathering <br />places that measurably improve the health, economic vitality and social connectedness of the community. The strategic plan identifies <br />1e funding mechanisms to preserve lands for these special places; acquisition of these lands; developing these lands into parks, <br />.::Jardens and greenways; and, ultimately, creating a mechanism for tracking the benefits derived from these places. <br /> <br />In addition, EDAW assisted TPL with a Pilot Street Tree Planting Project for East Little Havana. EDAW was responsible for developing <br />the planting plan, tree selection and even helped to plant the trees. <br /> <br />25.
