Downtown Miami has about 3-4 Publix grocery stores in the downtown/ Brickell area plus a Whole Foods right in the heart of downtown so I don't know why they would need more.

City easement lets railroad go airborne
 
City easement lets railroad go airborne
Written by John Charles Robbins on September 29, 2015

In order to build its MiamiCentral train station downtown with elevated tracks, All Aboard Florida needed an aerial easement over Miami streets. City commissioners last week granted the easement to a company affiliated with All Aboard Florida, DT Miami LLC.

MiamiCentral, an inter-city passenger rail station and intermodal transportation center, will offer a private passenger rail link to Orlando.

The heart of the station will be a five-train track structure elevated 50 feet. All Aboard Florida said the station’s framework includes 75 train piers to hold up about 5,000 linear feet of track.

Commissioners voted to convey a permanent aerial easement to DT Miami LLC for All Aboard Florida railroad terminal uses across Northwest Fifth and Sixth streets, waiving user fees.

DT Miami plans to construct permanent All Aboard Florida elevated railroad platforms for trains and passenger waiting areas across the city right-of-ways and the Metrorail corridor, the resolution states.

The legislation cites the value of the rail link. “The All Aboard Florida passenger railroad system is of regional importance that serves the tri-county [Miami-Dade, Broward, Palm Beach County] area,” it reads.

The resolution says the aerial easement serves a public purpose “to expand and promote business and job creation in the community, as well as serving the transportation purpose of a new railroad and providing a connecting corridor.”

The new station is to be integrated with the Miami-Dade County Metrorail and Metromover systems, possibly link with Tri-Rail, and is being considered a major transit hub for the city with connections to buses, trolleys, taxis and more.

City Manager Daniel Alfonso pointedly alerted commissioners to the estimated value of the easement, which he said was about $1.4 million. If the city is ever asked to joint venture with All Aboard Florida, it could consider the $1.4 million value as matching funds, he said.

MiamiCentral is to start passenger service in early 2017 between Miami and West Palm Beach, with Orlando runs targeted to begin in late 2017.

The new rail station is part of a larger plan to transform vacant downtown property into a new mixed-use neighborhood with hotel, office, residential and commercial uses.

All Aboard Florida parcels extend north from about Northwest First to Eighth streets, generally east of Northwest First Court. The linear stretch was once home to the city’s main train depot.

^ There are no train tracks now where the AAF station will be built. There is a spur before the future station that heads east to the Port of Miami and that is only for freight.
