Resolution: A RESOLUTION OF THE MAYOR AND CITY COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF SOUTH MIAMI, FLORIDA REQUESTING FOR MIAMI -DADE COUNTY TO PROVIDE INFRASTRUCTURE IMPROVEMENTS AT THE INTERSECTION OF SW 56TH STREET AND SW 62ND AVENUE; PROVIDING FOR AN EFFECTIVE DATE. Background: in response to the City's request for needed drainage and roadway improvements at the above referenced intersection, the Miami -Dade County Public Works Department (MDC) provided the City with a preliminary design plan showing roadway and drainage improvements for review and approval (see attached Exhibit "A" plan). The preliminary design plan was then presented to our City Commission on November 25, 2008 for review and approval. Thereafter; on December 22, 2008, review comments from former Commission member were provided to MDC, which MDC responded to via email on January 27, 2009 (see attached email). At this time, in order to move forward with the proposed improvements, MDC is requesting for project approval from the City based on the attached Exhibit A' and MDC responses to review comments from former Commission member. In addition, MDC has indicated this to be a time sensitive matter, due to the potential risk of budget cuts in the programmed expenditures for these improvements. Please note that these improvements will be performed by MDC at no expense to the City within MDC public right -of -way. MDC has also been informed on the City's request to include traffic light signalization improvements at the intersection. Reason /Need: The improvements to the intersection consist of drainage, curb and gutter, milling and resurfacing of the intersection, widening of the north leg to accommodate the exclusive right turn lane, pedestrian rampsllandings, regrading of existing swale at the intersection and signing and pavement markings. Cost: N/A Funding Source: Miami -Dade County to fund proposed intersection improvements.

Attached are review comments provided by City Commissioner J. Beckman on 12/11/08 Miller / 62nd Ave intersection reconstruction comments to Miami -Dade County Public Works. Traffic Division and Commissioner Carlos Jimenez 1. The area south of Miller Road is within the borders of the City. 2. The curbing and drainage are essential features. 3. Currently there are no sidewalks on the north side of Miller road. The new design does not appear to allow room of a future sidewalk at the northeast corner. It is suggested that sidewalks be included in the design so they can be constructed now or at a future date. It is also suggested that construction of sidewalks now in the immediate area of the intersection should be done to facilitate pedestrian crossing. Since there are no existing sidewalks on the north side of the intersection, we provided a concrete landing at northeast and northwest corners for the future connection. The landing on the northeast corner is for connection to future sidewalk on the north side of Miller Dr. only, and due to insufficient right -of -way at this corner, it can not be connected to future sidewalk on the east of SW 62 Ave. When future sidewalk on the east side of SW 62 Ave becomes feasible, then right -of way on the northeast 2/4/2009 Page 2 of 3 corner needs to be acquired. 4. The turn lanes on the north leg should not extend into the driveway area of the resident. The left -turn lane's extension on the north leg is the same as the existing condition. On behalf of City Mgr. and City Comm., I am available to meet with you onsite to discuss these comments. Please let me know when you can meet. Thank you.

As a result of the traffic study, an exclusive right turn lane has been proposed to be built at the north leg of the intersection of SW 62 Avenue and SW 56 Street. This additional exclusive right turn lane will improve the capacity and consequently the level of service of this intersection. As part of this improvement project, utilities affected by the proposed intersection geometric configuration change will be relocated according with highway design standards established by the Florida Department of Transportation. PWD will initiate the design and once plans are completed, this improvement will be scheduled for construction as funds and contracts become available. Should you have any questions or require additional information, please contact Ms. Doraida Rodriguez, Area Traffic Engineer, at (305) 375-2839.
