CIP FY 2014-15 Descriptive (7-15-2014)CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM DESCRIPTIONS Fiscal Year 2014/2015 – 2018/2019 TRAFFIC CALMING All studies and designs of traffic calming devices are required to be submitted to Miami-Dade County’s Traffic and Engineering Division of Public Works Department for review and approval. Construction of Pinecrest Villas/ Seaview Park Traffic Calming This project consists of constructing traffic calming devices in two areas. One is bounded by US-1 to the north, SW 62nd Avenue to the east and SW 80th Street to the south, and the other area is bounded by SW 80th street to the north, SW 62nd Avenue to the west, SW 57th Avenue to the east and the canal to the south. A traffic study was conducted to determine traffic behavior that includes travel volume, velocity, frequency and direction. Construction of Twin Lakes Traffic Calming Residents in the area petitioned the City to consider the placement of traffic calming device to slow down traffic in the area located within SW 56th Street/ Miller Road to SW 64th Street/ Hardee Drive, from 62nd Avenue to SW 67th Avenue. A traffic study was conducted to determine current traffic behavior that includes travel volume, velocity, frequency and direction. This traffic calming project also includes the area bounded by Bird Road/ SW 40th Street to SW 44th Street, SW 61st Avenue to SW 64th Avenue. Mango Terrace Traffic Calming The scope for Mango Terrace traffic calming consists of installing multiple speed tables and one traffic circle. The City will construct these devices in accordance with the design plans. The project limits are bounded by Sunset Drive/ SW 72nd Street, SW 80th Street, Ludlam Road/ SW 67th Avenue and SW 69th Avenue. Manor Lane Traffic Calming Devices The project’s study area is the residential property located by Ludlum Road/ SW 67th Avenue on the west, Sunset Drive/ SW 72nd Street on the north and US 1 on the east and south. A traffic study was conducted to assess and evaluate current traffic flow conditions and characteristics to validate the construction of speed tables along Manor Lane/ SW 63rd Avenue. DRAINAGE IMPROVEMENTS Citywide Drainage Improvements The Stormwater Master Plan (SMP) is a citywide study that included an evaluation of the current flood protection level of service (LOS) of the existing stormwater infrastructure. The study also identified existing and future operation and maintenance needs. Potential flooding areas were identified and prioritized in the SMP. The study identifies locations in the City to design and construct drainage improvements. These areas will be addressed in phases, by level of priority, as reported in the SMP. Drainage Design and Roadway Reconstruction These roadways require design by a consultant to determine regrading, base requirements and drainage required to improve the conditions of the road and eliminate any ponding or further deterioration due to ponding. These locations include:  SW 42 Street, between SW 65 Avenue and SW 64th Avenue within the City limits  From the intersection of SW 78 Street and SW 63 Avenue to the south along the dead end street towards the Elks Lodge ROAD INFRASTRUCTURE South Miami Intermodal Transportation Plan The South Miami Intermodal Transportation Plan is part of a continuing effort to enhance the transportation system and mobility choices for the residents and visitors to the City of South Miami and aims to establish a network of sidewalks, trails, roadway improvements, neighborhood greenways, and bicycle lanes throughout the City, connecting residential areas with downtown shopping and dining, transit facilities (Metrorail and BRT) and M-Path. The main priority of this plan is to provide a safer environment for pedestrians, cyclists, and all modal users by promoting neighborhood greenways on residential streets with low volumes of auto traffic and reduce speed, the use of traffic calming devices such as trees, speed tables, pavement markings and signage. Upon approval of the plan, the City shall commence with the design and construction of recommended improvements. Citywide Street Resurfacing Program The purpose of this program is to maintain all City-owned paved streets at a serviceability level. The scope includes resurfacing, restoration and rehabilitation of existing street on an as-need basis, and extending the life of the existing pavements. Roadway Reconstruction These roadways require design by a consultant to determine regrading, and the base requirements to improve the conditions and protect the integrity of the roads. These locations include:  SW 63 Terrace between SW 62 Place and SW 62 Court, SW 62 Court between SW 63 Terrace and SW 62nd Terrace  SW 61 Avenue, between SW 40 Street and SW 44 Street, within the City limits  SW 60 Place, between SW 40 Street and SW 42 Street, within the City limits  SW 62 Avenue, between US 1 and SW 78 Street PARKS Citywide Parks Master Plan The Master Plan will serve as a guide for future park developments, green space allocation, facility improvements, program development, and potential expansion. Furthermore, the plan will assist in gaining funding and community support and will also record the process, a result of the partnership between South Miami staff and the public. Brewer Park The proposed project consists of replacement of playground structure, water fountain, fence repairs, resurface basketball court and installation of new windscreens. Dog Park The proposed dog park is to be located at SW 78 Street, and SW 63 Avenue, the old inspection station. Renovations to the area will include parking, sod, water hook up, fencing, site amenities. Dante Fascell Park The project consists of replacing playground structures, outdoor fitness equipment stations and picnic tables. Additionally, project includes implementing a permanent solution for the drainage issue for the runoff water from the tennis courts. Fuchs Park This project consists of replacing playground equipment, restroom renovations, sidewalk repairs and structural repairs to the coral structure pavilion. Marshall Williamson Park This project consists of installing outdoor fitness equipment stations and converting one tennis court to a basketball area. Murray Park This project consists of replacing playground equipment. Palmer Park This project consists of minor repair and maintenance of the concession stand, parking lot resurfacing and striping, and minor fence repairs throughout the park. South Miami Park The project consists of the design and construction of parking lot renovations to include slurry seal stripping, speed bumps, ADA accesses, fence repairs, an athletic field, lighting, turf renovations or replacement and playground equipment. FLEET REPLACEMENT Public Works Fleet Vehicles An older PW truck will be replaced with a more fuel efficient one. The replacement of the older truck may result in higher efficiency and reduced cost of operation and maintenance. The older truck will be decommissioned and placed for public auction. PW Fleet Replacement includes a van and a garbage truck. Police Vehicles and Equipment The program consists of the replacement of older Police vehicles. Older vehicles will be decommissioned and placed for public auction. The Police Department proposes to replace 7 vehicles and continue the same trend for subsequent years. MISCELLANEOUS Citywide Replacement of Directional Street Signs & Posts This project consists of the replacement of old street name signs, with a new design and will be implemented throughout the City, with the first phase targeting the downtown area. Citywide Landscape Program This project consists of the installation of additional landscaping at various locations throughout the City. Bus Shelter The construction for additional bus shelters will be funded by People Transportation Program funds. This project will be carried out on an annual basis. Parking Infrastructure The Future of Parking is here. While there has been a great deal of investment in creating energy- efficient hybrid and electric vehicles, this still doesn’t solve the problem of global gridlock. A car is a car — even if electric — it still causes the same burden on urban gridlock that gas-powered cars do, and the need to park still exists. To make Smart Parking a reality, Streetline brings together all aspects of parking management technology in one integrated system — from street- level sensors to mobile apps, analytics and system management software — so that you can truly understand and manage your city’s parking to make changes for the better. Managing the true supply and demand of parking will enable cities and motorists to make smart transportation decisions.
