Abstract:

This paper presents an overview of the right-of-way acquisition process for the Miami automated people mover system (METROMOVER). The cost associated with the acquisition of the necessary right-of-way for the project was one of the significant items in the overall program budget. Inadequate early estimates for the right-of-way costs presented budgetary problems of crisis proportions later during the implementation of the project. The approaches considered in reducing the overall right-of-way acquisition costs are discussed herein and 'lessons' learned in the process are highlighted.
