(b) Describe how the proposed project is related to the intermodai transportation system by either
function, proximity or impact. (One or more may apply).
Historically, there has been a deficient bikeway system, congested roadways and restrictive rights -of-
way point to the need for a comprehensive study of intermodai relationships including a detailed
bikeway and sidewalk plan. Moreover, there is an additional need to replace tree canopy lost during
hurricanes, citrus canker and urban development, such losses have had a negative impact on the
green infrastructure and its ability to mitigate pollution and enhance air and water quality. The
proposed project will provide much needed safe pedestrian and bicycle facilities for residents to
community facilities including parks, schools, the business district, churches, and the general areas
within the City's boundaries (2.5 sqaure miles). in addition, tree planting will also be incorporated into
the project, being that the project is also intended to provide green eco- friendly elements and scenic
beautification.
(c) Where is the project located (and what is the project length and termini, if appropriate)? Include
location map.
The project will take place within the municipal boundaries of the City of South Miami. Therefore
no additional right -of -way acquisition would be requested. The boundaries are: a) north- S.W. 40th
Street (Bird Road); b) east- S.W. 57 Ave (Red Road); c) west- S.W. 691" Ave to 80�' Street and; d)

These improvements will address the need for pedestrian and bicycle safe pathways throughout the
City is a part of the change required as mobility moves from the automobile to less energy
consumptive methods of transportation. The City Intends to provide much needed sidewalks for
connectivity to main corridors, schools, parks, community centers, neighborhood shopping centers
and the City's Downtown area. In addition this project encompasses the preparation of a Master Plan
for the proposed bicycle path system citywide. Bicycle facilities will play an integral role in the future
traffic circulation system.
The tree planting component will allow the continuance of a previous tree planting initiative that
was sponsored by Miami -Dade County's Community Image Advisory Board. The first phase of
the tree planting included citywide installation of native trees. The next phase of the project will
include the same components. Tree planting project will allow for the improvement of air quality,
the reduction of stormwater runoff, and energy conservation.
(e) Describe the project's existing right of way ownerships. This description shall identify when the
right of way was acquired and how ownership is documented (i.e. plats, deeds, prescriptions,
certified surveys).
At present time, the City owns the rights -of -way.
(f) Describe any proposed right of way acquisition, including expected matching fund source,
limitations on fund use or availability, and who will acquire and retain ownership of proposed right
of way.
No additional right -of -way will be required.
