Florida’s Transportation Department on Monday recommended extending Metrorail north along 27th Avenue to link the current rail system with Miami Dade College, an $870 million project that the county’s administration says is too expensive for an already strained transit budget.
Extending Metrorail the entire 13 miles from the Dr. Martin Luther King station north along 27th Avenue to the Broward line would cost about $1.8 billion, plus an additional $46 million to operate the new extension.
