Places

The Six Areas

The review is looking closely at six parts of Opa-locka. Being on this list does not mean an area will be added to or removed from the CRA boundary. It means we are studying it.

Ali Baba Avenue Corridor

Map markers 1, 2

The main east-west street that ties the city together, from the Tri-Rail station up to NW 151st Street.

It is the most visible street in Opa-locka, with storefronts, vacant frontage, transit, and homes along its length. The review is documenting how the corridor is doing today.
