By Brooke Bloom Lam, Editor Florida Villager It happened "by accident while taking the MetroRail to physical therapy after a biking accident", Meg Daly had a Eureka moment. During her 7 black walk from the Coconut Grove station to her destination, Daly noted that the shady area was rather large and very underutilized. It was at this moment that she had a vision to transform the land underneath the MetroRail in a contiguous world-class urban trail, mobility corridor, and linear park.
