PROJECT OVERVIEW
Virginia Key is a 1000-acre barrier island that
is situated midway between the eastern shore of
the City of Miami and the Village of Key
Biscayne accessible via the Rickenbacker
Causeway in Biscayne Bay.
On July 22,
2010, the City of Miami completed a
comprehensive master planning process for
Virginia Key that will serve as a guiding tool
to develop meaningful waterfront and public open
space areas on the island. Furthermore, the
Virginia Key Master Plan will provide policies
for the use, development, and management of
land; the protection and enhancement of the
island’s natural resources while providing the
necessary infrastructure and traffic flow to
serve future improvements.
The following

planning process:
