We have no objection for the City to install two speed humps along SW 78 Street. However, the
City should obtain approvals from the Fire Department and the Police Department for all

Dr. Shen,
Upon review of the criteria listed below, the speed table on SW 76th Street may be moved eastward in an
effort to increase the distance from the intersection and comply with the 50 feet minimum. We will send
you the revised plans from the engineer for your approval.
However, due to overwhelming reaction from the residents in the Pinecrest Villas neighborhood, we
strongly request to proceed with the installation of the 2 speed tables on SW 78th Street. I have attached
copies of the resident concerns for your review and consideration.
Once again, thank you for your attention on this matter.

Subject: MDC Public Works Requirement- Resident Concurance
Good evening, Grizel,
In response to your subject request, please be advised that the Miami -Dade County Public Works
Department (PWD) reviewed the traffic calming study to evaluate the need for calming devices in the
Pinecrest Villas area. As a result, it was determined that the installation of a speed hump on SW 76
Street and SW 78 Street will enhance the traffic along these corridors. However, the two closely
spaced speed humps on SW 78 Street may reduce the effectiveness. Therefore, it is suggested that
only one speed hump should be installed on SW 78 Street. Moreover, speed humps will not be
considered at the approaches to a horizontal or vertical curve where visibility of the hump is restricted.
The speed humps will not be considered within 250 feet of a traffic signal, within 50 feet of an
intersection, or in front of a driveway (please see attached policy on speed humps).
Furthermore, the City must execute an intergovernmental agency agreement. An electronic copy of
this document is attached with this email. Signed and sealed design plans must be submitted to our
Department for review. 100% of the residents /property owners immediately adjacent to the proposed
speed hump and two - thirds (213) of the residents /property owners of the blocks shall concur with the
installation of the speed hump.
Should you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to contact me or Mr. Muhammad Khan at
305 - 375 -2030.

Dr. Shen,
The City of South Miami Public Works Department (CSMPWD) is preparing to go in to
the design phase for neighborhood traffic management for the Cocoplum Terrace
Neighborhood, and Pinecrest Villas Neighborhood. The purpose of the traffic management
projects is to address speeding and traffic intrusion in local residential streets.
The City initiated a traffic calming study for both neighborhoods to perform traffic data
collection and analysis, as well as development of traffic calming alternatives for the study
areas. The study resulted in the following recommendations:
5/5/2011
Page 5 of 5
Cocoplum Terrace Neighborhood
Most recommended improvements for this area have been implemented, including the lane
closure of the SW 70th Street and installation of traffic circles. The items below are pending
and are planned to go into design soon.
1. Installation of six speed tables between:
SW 64th Street and SW 66th Street at
• SW 641h Court
• SW 631d Court
* SW 62nd Court
SW 70th street and Sunset Drive/ SW 72nd Street at:
• SW 64th Court
• SW 63rd Court
• SW 631d Avenue
2. Install speed table / street narrowing west of SW 62nd Avenue, on SW 69th Street and SW
68th Street, to create a transition for traffic operation between commercial and residential
areas along SW 62nd Avenue.
Pinecrest Villas Neighborhood:
The traffic study recommends the installation of three speed tables at:
• SW 76th Street between SW 59th Place and SW 60th Avenue.
• SW 78th Street between SW 60th Avenue and SW 61st Avenue.
• SW 78th Street between SW 59th Avenue and SW 59th Court.
I have included a map of each area for your reference. Note that the locations for the
Pinecrest Villa Speed tables are highlighted in yellow.
Based on our conversation yesterday, please describe the concurrence requirements
from the residents and inform CSMPWD of any requirements for Miami Dade Public
Works approval.
