Planning the Parkway. . This plan for the Miami Canal Parkway (Patterson Boulevard) was laid out during the late 1920s by the City Plan Board. The lower corridor plan shows the segment of the Miami Erie Canal from Keowee Street to the northeast to Apple Street to the south. The upper corridor plan depicts the parkway to be constructed over the filled canal. The project, which included the realignment of the railroad and the construction of bridges over Patterson Boulevard and Fifth Street to carry the elevated tracks, led to the removal of important buildings, such as the Osceola Mills on Fifth Street, for the construction.
