A major construction project in a busy corridor of Miami Beach is designed to protect the city from flooding and improve long-term infrastructure. But for some people who live and work along Lincoln Road and West Avenue, the work is creating short-term challenges they say are hurting daily life and business. “It doesn't look like a street, and it doesn't look like it's livable,” said Adi Zilberberg, a real estate agent who works at the office for Gary Hennes Realtors located on the western portion of Lincoln Road between Bay Road and West Avenue. “So, the entire West Avenue community neighborhood is getting a makeover,” said Heather Leslie, the public information liaison for the West Avenue Phase II project. The city says that despite signage indicating road closures, the area remains open to local and business traffic.
