REQUEST
A RESOLUTION OFTHE MAYOR AND CITY COMMISSION OFTHECITYOF SOUTH
MIAMI,FLORIDA,DIRECTING THE ADMINISTRATION TO INITIATE THE APPROVAL
PROCESS WITH MIAMI DADE COUNTY FOR INSTALLING TRAFFIC TURN
RESTRICTION SIGNS ON SW 81,82,83 AND
PROVIDING FOR AN EFFECTIVE DATE.
BACKGROUND:
84th STREETS ATRED ROAD AND
You may recall that last year some of the residents of the Snapper Creek area initiated some
discussion ofstreet closures because of excessive traffic intrusion and speeding duetothe school
at the Epiphany Church located on the east side of Red Road between SW 81st and 83r Streets.
The Snapper Creek area is generally bounded by Red Road in the east,SW 80th street in the
north,Snapper Creek canal in the south and SW 62nd Ave in the west.As an alternate to the
street closures another group of residents suggested a significant number of signs to control
access tothe area.Duetothe extensive nature ofthe signage,limiting accesstothearea from
SW 80th Street in the morning and from Red Road in the afternoon,it would have unduly
inconvenienced the resident's movement while effectively reducing the traffic intrusion.
Consequently,a consensus couldnotbe reached.
Recently the City has formed a Community Traffic Safety Team (CTST).Under the guidance of
Commissioner Russell and with the help of Mark Redosevich,an area resident,CTST has
reviewed this area and has recommended a much simpler solution,which CTST believes will
address the majority of the concerns without inconveniencing the residents.This request is for
three (3)"No Right Turn/7:00 am to 9:00 am/Monday through Friday"signs on eastbound SW
81st,82nd and 83rd Streets and one (1)"No Left Turn/7:00 am to 9:00 am/Monday through
Friday"on eastbound SW 84th Street at SW 57 Avenue.These signs will prevent the school
traffic from infiltrating through the neighborhood during the morning hours,which appears to be
more critical,while leaving SW 84th Street open for the residents wanting to go south on Red
Road.Attached isa location map indicating the requested signs.
