Do we need another? Since the 1950s when we started with 2-lane roads to move that traffic, we’ve cut down trees to make 4-lane roads. We’ve maximized the width of travel lanes so cars could move faster. We’ve created complex algorithms to allow traffic signals to process high volumes, moving hundreds to thousands of cars through the US-1 corridor in hours. Still, the results of 60 years of doing the same thing over and over again is congestion. In South Florida, we have created an automobile dependent community, which has resulted in one of the most dangerous places to walk and bike in the United States. At Corradino, we know it is impossible to build our way out of congestion that emphasizes investing in new roads and improvements focused solely on the automobile. To mitigate congestion, provide true mobility, health and safety, we must provide alternatives. We have partnered with some of the most progressive communities across the state in crafting plans and programs focused on Complete Streets concepts. We are excited about this opportunity with South Miami because we believe it can be an example for other cities facing similar congestion and safety frustrations. This project can be a paradigm shift in transportation planning, not just in South Miami and South Florida, but nationwide. Complete Streets projects are the future. Let us help South Miami be the model by which others seek. Corradino’s work on transformational projects relating to transportation planning is extensive, with over 150 employees and a history since 1971. We have worked on “first of their kind” efforts like the Metrorail and Busway in South Florida, and won multiple awards for our transportation and planning work. Our process is proven successful, tested, and simplified, ensuring our client’s projects are implementable. Experts, and the preferred Complete Streets consultant in South Florida, Corradino has completed similar projects for Cutler Bay, Palmetto Bay, Doral, Miami, Key Biscayne, Miami Gardens, Miami Lakes, Coral Gables, Sunny Isles Beach, Homestead, Islamorada, Pinecrest, Sarasota, FDOT, the Miami-Dade MPO, and more. As a firm and as industry professionals our team has experience with MPO Municipal Grants, having worked on over thirty of them. We have also worked with the Health Foundation of South Florida, and having produced nearly a dozen Safe Routes to School studies. As you know, sometimes the most complex and controversial projects in our cities can be sidewalks, bike lanes and traffic calming. Corradino understands that not only does the city need technically sound and implementable projects, but that in the end, implementation depends on developing a consensus within the community for the policies, manual and individual projects. Corradino’s approach is “hands on,” designed to build consensus throughout the process. Extra care needs to be taken when locating that project as it will have a direct effect on someone’s neighborhood or property. Corradino has been highly successful in working with communities on complex projects, by communicating and bringing them together over common interests. This approach make neighbors happy, and takes pressure off of staff and elected officials alike, easing implementation. OUR APPROACH TO:Maria M. Menendez, CMC City Clerk 6130 Sunset Drive South Miami, FL 33143 RE: RFQ# PL 2015-15 Complete Streets Policy & Design Standards Manual 1 Dear Ms. Menendez City of South Miami Complete Streets Policy & Design Standards Manual RFQ# PL2015-15 I will serve as project manager and point-of-contact for City staff for this project. My track record on similar projects is extensive, including having developed multimodal plans based on the Complete Streets philosophy that has been implemented in across the region. As an extension of the City our team will meet with key stakeholders including: religious and business leaders, concerned citizens, elected officials, and staff, to understand needs and wants. Following these important discussions, the Corradino team will help the City prioritize projects provide cost estimates, timing and prioritization. Lastly, we will create a detailed and realistic implementation plan, which will serve as a “play book” for the City to plan, design, and construct its projects. We commit to completing individual work tasks as well as the final deliverable(s) on-time and within budget. I look forward to assisting South Miami stop the insanity by doing something different. I am positive that this will serve as an example for others. Sincerely, Joseph M. Corradino, AICP President THE CORRADINO GROUP We have worked on “first of their kind” efforts like the Metrorail and Busway in South Florida, and won multiple awards for our transportation and planning work. 2 Instead of traditional mitigation techniques that focus on roadway improvements, new mitigation would be based on the implementation of Complete Streets projects, as part of the project or in the surrounding neighborhoods.

As a master plan, it looked at the entire community in each mode. Levels of service for modes of transportation were graded and as a result, it suggested many key projects which have been built on incrementally over the years. Resulting projects included the ElectroWave, (the first municipal circulator, which at the time was run by an electrically powered bus) at nearly 100 intersections. Operational improvements were suggested, such as enhanced crosswalks, signal optimization, and pedestrian prioritization improved turning radii, as a result, transit circulators were suggested in North Beach and Middle Beach and led to bicycle and pedestrian master plans. A city- wide parking analysis was completed by Corradino, as was an intermodal feasibility study for a potential rail line. It was the first multimodal attempt at municipal master planning, and pioneered the evolution of Miami Beach today. By the mid 2000s, the initial Miami Beach plan was updated by Corradino in the form of the Coastal Communities Transportation Master Plan. That analysis was funded by an MPO grant and participated by all the cities on the barrier islands from Golden Beach to Miami Beach. Its focus was an elaborate origin and destination study which tracked each vehicle that entered and exited the system over the causeways via camera. A detailed picture of travel patterns was established and improvements to the roadway network were suggested and implemented. The results guided another shift toward multimodal Complete Streets type efforts, as the City was realizing that its needs could no longer be served by roadway projects. Projects such as the shared bicycle programs and enhance greenways were implemented as a result. This year, Miami Beach built on this historic policy effort by formally prioritizing alternative transportation modes, and ranking pedestrian and bicycle modes first. F.OTHER RELEVANT EXPERIENCE PROJECT TEAM Joseph M. Corradino, AICP Alex David, AICP Salman Rathore, PE    City of South Miami Complete Streets Policy & Design Standards Manual RFQ# PL2015-15 38 CITY OF DORAL Corradino has produced three updates for the City of Doral, including their Mobility Plan and multiple traffic calming analysis. Doral is a relatively newly incorporated city in west central Miami-Dade County that is built on a giant one mile grid, which is completely unwalkable. Initially, they undertook a mobility master plan that focused on all modes. City leaders began to implement roadway projects within the right-of-way to improve traffic flow and planned a bicycle and pedestrian master plan. The second update of the master plan further focused on the development of multimodal projects. Through both iterations, projects in this fast growing city were planned, designed and built and require more projects to place into the development pipeline. Most recently in 2014, Doral and Corradino completed the third of these studies, the Doral Transit Mobility Plan that focused on the more definitive shift from roadway projects to alterative mode projects. All modes of transportation had their levels of service graded. Heavy focus was placed on filling gaps in the bicycle and pedestrian network at specific locations which will be subject to the most intensive development. This is currently being implemented by the City and will be used to assist in the mitigation of traffic impacts. VILLAGE OF PALMETTO BAY Corradino produced multiple reports for the Village of Palmetto Bay including their Mobility Plan, Bicycle and Pedestrian Master Plan, Safe Routes to School, multiple traffic calming analysis, and their Transit Circulator. After analyzing and grading level of service in every mode and projecting capacity deficiencies on each road, it was found that while there were many operational improvements, the roads were essentially built out and significant capacity would not come from road widenings. To maintain quality of life and mobility, people needed alternative options. Levels of service for all modes were measured and deficiencies were identified in which they were tested and projects were planned to mitigate those issues. Policies were placed in the Comprehensive Plan to ensure that implementation of these projects. This award-winning effort was led by Corradino. Projects were designed to existing standards. Subsequently, another award-winning plan was their Bicycle and Pedestrian Master Plan focused on providing connections to local generators, other city bicycle and pedestrian facilities, as well as regional lanes, paths and trails. Similarly, multiple Safe Routes To School Studies were conducted, providng children with alternate safe walking paths to school. The Palmetto Bay Circulator was studied and routes initiated. This provided service between the various generators within the community. Today, Corradino is updating the Circulator study to gain more efficiency from its routes allowing Palmetto Bay to have one of the most well- planned diverse transportation networks in the County.

THE CORRADINO PROCESS 39 City of South Miami Complete Streets Policy & Design Standards Manual RFQ# PL2015-15 G.PROPOSED APPROACH FOR COMPLETING THE PROJECT WE UNDERSTAND the City is looking to evaluate the transportation system and its ability to be multimodal. Doing this will entail an assessment of bicycle, pedestrian and transit levels of service. Public engagement in the form of stakeholders meetings and public workshops will be held to understand the vision of the community and develop policies. Multimodal options will be suggested in the bicycle, pedestrian and transit categories. These alternatives will be used to create specific projects that will fill the gaps in the system and convert poorly ranked facilities into ones that meet the service standards suggested in the policies. The results of this project will be to update the Comprehensive Plan by adding a Compete Streets Objective and Policies to the Transportation Element. Subsequently, the Land Development Regulations will implement these Comprehensive Plan Policies with specific recommendations. Ultimately, these Complete Street Policy measures would be required of all new development and redevelopment projects, where applicable. This scope of service can be completed in 5 months for a cost of $55,000 and $5,000 for a contingency. The Project will be accomplished through the following tasks: 1)Civic Engagement 2)Review of Previous Studies 3)Data Collection 4)Analysis/Needs Assessment 5)Project Development 6)Policies, Procedures and Design Manual 7)Funding 40 City of South Miami Complete Streets Policy & Design Standards Manual RFQ# PL2015-15 TASK 1 CIVIC ENGAGEMENT UNDER CORRADINO’S approach, this task is the most critical in the entire project. Under our approach, the policy recommendations will result from combination of needs and want assessments of the community. Completing this correctly builds consensus, eases implementation, and takes pressure off of the neighborhoods, staff and elected officials. In this task, an outreach program will be scheduled, including internal meetings, interaction with the public in stakeholders meetings, and a public workshop. The report will be presented and approved at a public hearing with the City Council. Additionally, a web-based social media strategy will be employed so that a broader spectrum of the public can interact and contribute on their time and at their convenience. Both engaging the public and incorporating public input is a multi-level process that takes place consistently throughout the duration of the plan development. Ensuring the participation of the public will facilitate the implementation of the proposed projects, and result in a plan that is uniquely tailored to the specific needs of the city. Civic Engagement will be ongoing throughout the project in a variety of individual tasks. Project Kickoff / Project Management Corradino will meet with City’s project management team to formalize the scope of services, schedule, and deliverables. Formal progress meetings are recommended to be held at the kickoff of each individual task to confirm the work to be done and its timings, and at the conclusion of each individual task to finalize the work completed. Stakeholders / Outreach Meetings Corradino will meet with a number of stakeholders during this process. This interaction will be in one-on-one meetings or in small groups. These meetings will be with business owners, citizens, community leaders, the Green Task Force, staff and elected officials. As misinformation can frequently be used as a distraction to derail progressive efforts, the goal is to ensure that everyone will understand the same set of facts, and to eliminate erroneous information in the system. Workshop Subsequent to the Stakeholders meetings and as recommendations are being created, a formal public workshop will be held. Public Hearings The public involvement portion of the project will culminate with the presentation of the draft report to the project management team for edits, and then taking the final report to the City Commission for approval. This report will detail the prioritized recommendations as a component of the Implementation Strategy. Meetings will be held with the appropriate city board or committee (Planning and Zoning, Green Committee, ERPB, Etc.) and finally the City Council. 1.3 1.1 1.2 1.4 41 City of South Miami Complete Streets Policy & Design Standards Manual RFQ# PL2015-15 TASK 2 REVIEW OF PREVIOUS STUDIES CORRADINO WILL REVIEW AND EVALUATE all pertinent background data and information relevant to the project and all planned projects will be categorized by type and responsible entity and mapped on a GIS database including: •2015 South Miami Intermodal Transportation Plan (SMITP) •Capital Improvement Plan (CIP) •Florida Department of Transportation Greenbook •City’s Comprehensive Plan and Land Development Codes, and related goals, objectives and policies •Miami-Dade MPO TIP and LRTP •Other national examples of design manuals •Other research relative to best practices 42 City of South Miami Complete Streets Policy & Design Standards Manual RFQ# PL2015-15 TASK 3 REVIEW OF PREVIOUS STUDIES CORRADINO WILL EXECUTE formal collection of traditional data such as the location, condition and level of service of existing facilities, including roads, bike and pedestrian facilities and transit routes. This is where the grading system of the roads will be developed. First, an agreed upon street network will be defined with the City. Then, on-site evaluation will be needed to collect Level of Service Data. Level of Service is calculated differently for vehicles than it is for other modes. Vehicular or roadway level of service is a quantitative measure, assessed on how many vehicles can pass a certain point in a certain period of time. Bicycle and pedestrian level of service is qualitative, focused on if, how and at what quality facilities are provided. Traffic Counts are used to collect vehicular level of service, while personal assessment of facilities is used to collect bicycle, pedestrian and transit level of service. The agreed upon network of roads will have level of service assessed for each mode. This will be presented in tabular form. All data will be mapped via Geographic Information System (GIS). Quality data and accurate level of service is the foundation on which this projects recommendations will be built. Data Collection will include: Grading System Here, Corradino will develop a methodology based on the standard FDOT Bicycle, Pedestrian and Transit Level of Service Tables. A matrix will be created showing each roadway in the system, and the various complete streets modes. The each mode will be measured through the data collection in this task, at their service level or adequacy will be graded in this table. Grades will be projected into the future to determine future need. Tansit Supply and demand in the form of ridership, adjusted service frequency (Vehicles/hour), headways and hours of service data will be collected from Miami-Dade Transit. Boarding and alighting counts and transfer activity will be reviewed. This will be supplemented with data collected in the field (existing infrastructure: visual analysis of the location of transit stops, transit shelters, signs, route information, bus bays, etc.) Bicycle and Pedestrian Level of Service Roadway characteristics of all major arterials and collectors will be collected from FDOT and Miami-Dade County. This will be supplemented by field visits to obtain typical sections, and a qualitative assessment of the presence and scale of bicycle and pedestrian facilities, lateral separation of facilities from motorized vehicles, spacing of driveways and side streets, signal spacing, pavement conditions, widths of outside through lanes, median openings, traffic control devices, speed limits. Crash and fatality data will be collected. Land Use The development of Complete Streets is inherently tied to the land use, which creates not only the trip generation, but may influence multi-modal needs. Information about the existing and future land use, including density, essential services, and the mix of uses, will be collected from the City and compared to the corridors to supplement the data on existing facilities. 3.1 3.2 3.4 3.3 43 City of South Miami Complete Streets Policy & Design Standards Manual RFQ# PL2015-15 TASK 4 ANALYSIS / NEEDS ASSESSMENT THE DATA COLLECTED in the previous task will be analyzed. Traffic volumes will be projected into the future, while gaps or weaknesses in the system will be identified. This will be the basis of the selection of alternative projects. This project will use existing MPO South East Regional Planning Model Data, supplemented with FDOT and Miami-Dade County traffic data to assess vehicular LOS and project volume and all LOS into the future. This will be done by determining the system performance as stated by the Level of Service for the selected roadways and intersections in the existing condition and the future condition in 2020, and in 2035, in the peak hours of travel. All will be determined at a planning level analysis from the FDOT LOS Handbook, Capacity Tables, and by review of MPO LRTP Model results. The bicycle and pedestrian analysis will focus on supportiveness of the area towards those modes in terms of safety measures, density, mix of uses, street connectivity, proximity to transit and other essential destinations like grocery stores, schools, senior housing and services, social services, major employment areas, colleges, hospitals, libraries and parks. The first step of this analysis is to identify areas where pedestrian and bicycle improvements would likely have the highest impact on the largest number of existing and potential users. System deficiencies will be identified, specifically missing sidewalks and bike lanes. These will be mapped, and each corridor assigned a bicycle and pedestrian LOS. Level of Service emphasizes reducing the number of obstacles that prohibit the greatest number of users from walking and cycling. Missing links in the bicycle and pedestrian network will be input into a spread sheet detailing the exact location, side of the street and missing linear feet. Costs to improve these links will be tallied, providing an easily understood spreadsheet as to the location and cost of this infrastructure improvement. Alternative projects will be evaluated based on their ability to reduce conflict and attract the greatest number of users. The transit analysis will focus on understanding transit from an operational perspective. The routes, and the ridership will be assessed. The route performance and individual bus stop performance within each route will be ranked relative to ridership and on-time performance. The ridership data will be used to suggest improvements to the existing stops and stops either by eliminating or combining stops, or rearranging or consolidating routes. From the results of the analysis and the input obtained from the initial workshop, an initial set of short, mid, and long term multimodal alternatives will be developed. Many of the needs will be gleaned from ideas received in the public involvement portion of the project. This task will develop and recommend a list of future transportation needs, identify concepts to address the needs, and analyze the feasibility of transportation concepts. ANALYSIS Transit Projects Pedestrian Projects Bicycle Projects Roadway Projects Intermodal Policy 44 City of South Miami Complete Streets Policy & Design Standards Manual RFQ# PL2015-15 TASK 4 ANALYSIS / NEEDS ASSESSMENT Projects will be identified in each of the following modal areas: Transit This will focus on areas of transit level of service (TLOS, from FDOT’s Q/LOS Handbook), as it interacts with areas of existing and planned activity as well as major trip generators. Focus for transit projects will be at points of concentration like transit stops, adjacent to trip generators – e.g. schools, civic organizations, hospitals, etc. Pedestrian This will focus on pedestrian amenities and their levels of service (PLOS, from FDOT’s Q/LOS Handbook), particularly as they interface with major trip generators, major intersections, and locations that have level of service issues. Pedestrian and bicycle projects will focus on projects that are interconnected with existing bicycle or pedestrian segments, connect to existing major trip generators, and that improve the level of service for pedestrians and bicyclists. By gaining an understanding of how pedestrian connectivity between origins and destinations can be beneficial to the community on many levels, the City can change both driver and pedestrian behavior to prioritize the pedestrian mode of travel. A program to incentivize the development of these facilities will be provided focusing on evaluation, education, enforcement, and engineering. Design guidelines for pedestrian facilities will be provided. Bicycle This will focus on bicycle amenities and their levels of service (BLOS, from FDOT’s Q/LOS Handbook), particularly as they interface with major trip generators, major intersections, and locations that have level of service issues. Bicycle projects will focus on projects that are interconnected with existing bicycle segments, connect to existing major trip generators, and that improve the level of service for pedestrians and bicyclists. A detailed examination of potential projects will be undertaken focused on the improvement on the level of service, the removal of impediments, or the filling of gaps in the system and the ease of implementation. Design guidelines for bicycle facilities will be provided. Policy This will focus on transportation policy issues as a means of enhancing mobility. Policy initiatives like alternative concurrency management and measurement will be explored, as will transportation systems management or transportation demand management can be incrementally impactful in diminishing congestion. These techniques, such as flexible work hours, zip cars, shared bicycles, congestion pricing, car pools and telecommuting will move travel out of the peak hours, therefore immediately impacting congestion. Bicycle, pedestrian and transit policies and programs will be recommended. An examination of creative policy initiatives across the nation which incentivize the desired travel behavior will be undertaken. A listing and explanation of the positive and negative aspects of these polices will be provided. Additionally, other policies that may be considered include the prioritization of the various modes, the shift in funding levels between modes, how concurrency is measured, and how the development community mitigates its impacts. 4.1 4.2 4.3 4.4 As part of this study, locational aspects were documented via site visits and the qualities and conditions of the R.O.W. were incorporated into the recommendations. 45 City of South Miami Complete Streets Policy & Design Standards Manual RFQ# PL2015-15 TASK 5 PROJECT DEVELOPMENT PROJECTS THAT ARISE from the needs assessment resulting from the analysis and the public input, will be placed in the “Project Bank.” Each project in each of the categories will be described on a project sheet that includes the following: PROJECT BANK Description of the Project Purpose and Need Location Existing Conditions Assessment Summary Cost: Planning, Design, and Construction Possible Funding Sources 46 City of South Miami Complete Streets Policy & Design Standards Manual RFQ# PL2015-15 TASK 6 POLICIES, PROCEDURES AND DESIGN STANDARDS MANUAL THE POLICIES REGARDING COMPLETE STREETS, the procedures to implement them and the design standards to build them will be developed. This will provide guidance to staff, citizens and developers on design tools and methodologies for ensuring City roads and future development address adequate and safe access for all users. It will serve as the Data and Analysis for the updates for the Comprehensive Plan, and Land Development Code, minimizing efforts to formally update those items. Importantly, it will have a link to concurrency and suggest a concurrency management mechanism, by which developments are reviewed and asked to mitigate the fair share impact to the transportation system through the development of projects in the manual or contributions to funds which will implement the projects. It is important, in developing a design manual, that we be cognizant of other entities. The rights of way in South Miami, are owned, operated and maintained by a variety of entities, including South Miami, Miami-Dade County, and the Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT). FDOT and/or Miami-Dade County Public Works design standards will need to be adhered to in many instances. These will be explored and incorporated where applicable. The manual that is envisioned will have the following outline: Roadway Design Pedestrian Way Design Bikeway Design Intersection Design Transit Design Design Elements Design Elements Principles Sidewalks Crosswalks Types | Design Elements Types | Design Elements Principles Types Design Elements Principles Types Design Elements Introduction Goals, Objectives, Policies Procedures Street Network Principles | Impacting Factors | Street Classifications 47 City of South Miami Complete Streets Policy & Design Standards Manual RFQ# PL2015-15 TASK 7 FUNDING CORRADINO WILL MAKE RECOMMENDATIONS on how to creatively fund the recommended improvements, primarily by incorporating them into a concurrency management program. The goal would be to provide an incentive for the development community to mitigate the transportation impacts of their developments by the use of multi-modal complete streets projects as opposed to traditional roadway projects. A concurrency management system could be designed by which developers will be asked to work with the city to assess their impact to the community based on the location, density and intensity of the development. Each mode would be assigned a level of service standard, which would be incorporated into the comprehensive plan. This will provide the legal justification by which to require applicants mitigate impact. Instead of traditional mitigation techniques that focus on roadway improvements, new mitigation would be based on the implementation of Complete Streets projects, as part of the project or in the surrounding neighborhoods. The City’s manual will contain a project bank of projects. The city could convert impact into a per trip fee charged to applicants. These collected fees would then be placed into a fund dedicated towards the implementation of the Complete Streets projects. Corradino has developed similar systems in the past and will be able to apply this experience to the City’s needs. Before After Before After 48 Corradino created an atmosphere of trust by their willingness to listen to, and speak with, community residents/groups, businesses, and institutional leaders.
