of candidate “demonstration sites”. Using these criteria, prototypical solutions
were completed for several sites.
Portland Downtown Light Rail Tunnel/Pedestrian Circulation Evaluation,
Portland, OR. Mr. Garber supported this engineering study of the feasibility of an
underground light rail connection through downtown Portland, and the possible
effect of such an alignment on pedestrian and vehicular circulation, and the City’s
urban form.
Bus Stop & Passenger Amenities Standards/Portland Mall Document, Portland,
OR. Mr. Garber led team efforts in preparing this manual that identifies placement
and design criteria for bus stops and passenger amenities. Mr. Garber also
prepared a paper on the effects of relocating some of the Mall’s shelters to other
sites to maximize bus efficiency.
Capacity Analysis Procedures for Pedestrian Systems. Working with researchers
from the Polytechnic Institute of New York, Sorin was a “beta tester” for the
capacity analysis methods being developed for the Highway Capacity Manual.
Sorin utilized the methods for midblock sidewalks, crosswalks, and corner
reservoirs for ten subarea studies of mixed-use dense development projects in
New York City. Sorin refined and calibrated these methods through time-lapse and
videotape photography, as well as through an academic peer review process.
Sorin Garber
Vice President, Director of Transportation Planning-South District
Rose Garden Arena Master Plan, Portland, OR. Mr. Garber prepared and
coordinated all transportation analyses, roadway design, and TDM and
construction program elements, related to the development of the Rose Garden
complex. With Tri-Met staff, he tested a wide spectrum of concepts including
freeway and LRT alternative alignments, local street, parking, transit and
pedestrian circulation, and transit station design; many of which were
incorporated into the project. He also conceived the project’s TDM Program, and
was part of the core group that led to its implementation.

Project Understanding and Approach
Project Overview
A core element of TYLI’s transportation practice is a commitment to transportation systems that are
safe, efficient, and sustainable. This commitment is embodied in the Complete Streets movement,
which communities and state and local agencies are adopting across the nation in their
transportation network planning and design policies.
What are Complete Streets?
Complete Streets are streets that are for everyone and that are built for all users—pedestrians,
bicyclists, motorists, public transportation vehicles, and users and riders of all ages and capability.
Complete Streets provide students with safe routes to school, calm traffic in neighborhoods, enhance
access to public transportation, and improve bicycle and pedestrian safety. Complete Streets
balance the needs of all users, enabling safe access and mobility in the entire right-of-way.
What Do Complete Streets Look Like?
Designed within the community context and local transportation network, Complete Streets are
unique to each setting. Common elements may include pedestrian friendly sidewalks, audible
pedestrian signals, accommodation for persons with disabilities, bike lanes, special bus lanes,
on ‐street parking
roundabouts, narrower streets, and comfortable transit stops. Complete Streets form a network of
improvements which may have bicycle boulevards on some streets, dedicated bus routes on others,
and enhanced opportunities for pedestrian only traffic on designated routes. A Complete Street is
safe, convenient, and compatible with the environment.

Project Understanding
Implementing Complete Street Policies
Building the new kind of street systems envisioned in the Complete Streets concepts requires thinking
differently about our roads and who uses them. A Complete Street policy guides cities, transportation
agencies and transportation planners and designers in building roadway networks that are safer and
more accessible for all users. Such a policy integrates all roadway projects from the planning and
new construction stage to rehabilitation repair and maintenance into a unified approach
Complete Streets Design Principles
The City of South Miami Complete Streets Policy and Design
Standards Manual will provide for development and
knowledgeable design of a “complete streets” network;
containing a comprehensive hierarchy of streets and street
components, which respects the continuum of users and their
needs. While guidelines are intended to provide strategies for
many contexts, this document will provide for a contextually
appropriate design specific to South Miami. The TYLI Team will
strive to enumerate design strategies and balance the many
variables influencing complete streets design to provide specific
guidelines and technical information including the development
of street plans, sections and details.
The TYLI Team will provide the framework for implementing a Complete Streets program that
adheres to the following outline:
• Streets as City Structure
• Streets for all Modes
• Streets as Public spaces
• Parking Accommodations
• Green Streets Principles for Low Impact Design (LID)
Complete Streets Design Guidelines
Complete Streets Design Guidelines will require the following
components:
1. Connectivity and Small Blocks
A relatively fine network of streets and blocks allows
multiple routes to and from destinations, encourages
walking and biking and allows traffic to naturally diffuse into the grid as other routes become
congested.
2. Parking Accommodations
2
City of South Miami
Complete Streets Policy & Design Standards Manual
RFQ# PL2015-15
On-street parking can provide a significant amount of necessary parking supply for local
business in a convenient location, while acting as a buffer for pedestrians and creating a
comfortable sidewalk space. Parking can be the most controversial issue for a complete
streets retro-fit project. Loss of on-street parking sometimes is an outcome. I would also
note that in some cases with reduced ROW, cross-sections can’t accommodate on-street
parking. I would further note that on-street parking needs to be carefully designed so that it
is not creating unsafe conditions for bicyclists.
3. Roundabouts
Roundabouts are becoming a more common strategy for addressing transportation capacity
and intersection safety issues. Along with a systems based approach and a series of linked
roundabout intersections, roundabouts can have a significant positive effect on the livability
of the neighborhoods and communities they serve. Roundabouts have a traffic calming
benefit and provide low maintenance cost, no power requirements, and reduce vehicle stops
and thus have lower fuel consumption and emissions.
4. Pedestrian Comfort and Safety
Pedestrian injuries and fatalities resulting from car-pedestrian collisions increase dramatically
as vehicular speeds increase. The probability of the pedestrian receiving fatal injuries is 3.5
percent at 15mph, 37 percent at 31mph, and 83 percent at 44mph.
5. Bicycle Comfort and Safety
On lower-volume streets, bicycles should be
considered a normal part of the mix of travelers on
the street. With higher volumes of motorists and
bicycles (+ 3,000 ADT), bicycling routes should be
separate from the motorists, but bicycles should be
expected and accommodated along all streets.
6. Alleys or Service Lanes
The use of alleys removes the need for individual curb cuts to provide vehicular access to
properties, limits conflicts between vehicles and pedestrians and increases on-street parking
capacity and opportunities for street trees and green street treatments.
7. Green Streets
Streets are a significant source of storm water quantity
and quality impacts on natural drainage systems. It is
critical to incorporate strategies to limit and mitigate
impervious areas and properly handle pollutants carried
in rainwater run-off while infiltrating clean water to
replenish dwindling ground water supplies.

Project Approach
Our objective in all of our municipal planning work is to develop strategies that will foster
communities to realize their full potential. Standards that respect the initiative, effort and loyalty of its
citizens and also inspire people to get involved with civic issues and to stay involved through difficult
times. A municipality must strive for excellence in the quality of life it provides for its citizens. It must
create conditions that are unique to its location, emotionally appealing, comfortable, safe and
convenient. It must foster a community that aspires to the principles of high livability standards for its
public spaces, work environments and recreation facilities.
To reach its full potential, a municipality must
engender a strong sense of community. Citizens must
feel that they are part of the collective whole, and
that their contributions matter to the Town and all
other citizens. They need to take pride in what they
do as a community and that pride must be visible in
the development and maintenance of public
buildings, streets and spaces. The public environment
must also be authentic to the community and express
what is important to the community in its location,
history, culture and economy.

TASK 2 – INVENTORY AND FIELD RECONNAISSANCE
2.1 Inventory and Base Data Collection
There are two types of base information that will be required to complete Task 2; non-GIS-based
information and GIS-based information. The Project Team will utilize GIS information available from
the City of South Miami. Non-GIS information will be gathered by the Project Team from various
sources.
Non-GIS-based information includes information that is unavailable in development regulations,
etc., current City, County, State and Federal initiatives, surveys, transportation studies, etc.
GIS-based information includes digital mapping for general land use data, right-of-way
identification and descriptions, non-park, vacant property and open space identification, Area-wide
and City and County transportation work programs, community facilities and features, public right-
of-way networks, existing bicycle/pedestrian facilities, street conditions and amenities, and
committed private development.
We anticipate that all relevant information will be placed in a database including the transcription of
non-GIS-based information. Information that appears non-quantifiable or difficult to map will be
scanned and identified as "approximate" for the purposes of the production of the revised South
Miami ordinance.
2.2 Review of Existing Plan, Programs and Policies
City of South Miami has embarked on several "policy
initiatives" during the past several years including the
recently completed SMITP. These plans and studies
provide a clearer insight into goals and objectives for a
variety of public improvement projects within the City.
The Project Team will evaluate these documents to
establish a basis for the City of South Miami Complete
Streets review and production. Documents include but are not limited to:
City of South Miami Comprehensive Plan
Current City of South Miami Code of Ordinances
Current City of South Miami Land Development Regulations
City of Miami Capital Improvements Program
2.3 Interviews
Interviews will be conducted as part of Task 2. Collaboration with all relevant agencies,
organizations or special interest groups is essential to the success of the revised City of South Miami
Zoning Ordinance and Land Development Regulations. Those parties will include, but are not
limited to:
City of South Miami Core Staff (departments identified in Task 2)
Miami-Dade County
Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT)
Elected Officials

2.4 Public Meeting Series
We believe it is critical to base future planning decisions on a solid foundation of informed and
rational community support. In fact, the members of the TYLI Team have been facilitating public
involvement initiatives for many years that have helped formulate long-term public policy. At the
basis of our success has been our emphasis on three factors: process consistency, consultant
credibility, and a personal interest in the community and the individuals we serve.
Meeting Series
CHARRETTE / VISIONING MEETING SET
A “charrette” is best described as a public workshop,
open to all interested parties who will provide their
insight and ideas; however, specific or general, into the
planning process. It is generally formatted as an intensive
one or two-day session that focuses on the issues facing
the community, either design-oriented or with social
relevance that arrives at collaborative solutions. Simply
stated, the end product is a combination of ideas,
strategies, and a “community vision” to guide the
planning process.
Typically, street layout plans, inventory and analysis drawings, sketches, image photos and maps
are prominently displayed to offer input from the general public in the form of “likes and dislikes” of
Complete Streets and transportation-related issues. The charrette also allows the community to
comment on the actions and priorities to implement proposed Complete Streets initiatives. These
sessions educate and facilitate local interest (and excitement) in the process and its outcome.
It is a two-step process that requires two (2) sets
Charrette/Visioning Meetings. We envision a
minimum of two (2) sets of public meetings for the
City of South Miami. The first meeting set is
conducted as project overview to determine
expectations of the community. This initial meeting is
conducted in a presentation format with questions
and comments recorded for use in the more
interactive second charrette work shop meeting. The
second meeting is conducted as a
Charrette/Visioning Workshop in an effort to
describe proposed complete Streets design strategies and creative approaches to the design of
bicycle and pedestrian facilities so they can be prioritized within the plan. This second set of
meetings is highly interactive and is conducted as a true charrette complete with facilitators assisting
stakeholders with written and graphic materials.

The TYLI Team of professionals has provided bulk mailings for meeting notices and results since the
early 1990’s. We have in-house graphic artists that can provide quality poster design and mailings
in any format. As the plan evolves, we will modify our outreach program as necessary. Much of the
Communications Plan is dependent on our Public Involvement schedule.
2.5 Base Plan Development and Project Boundary
Base maps of the City of South Miami street system, pedestrian/bicycle facilities and significant
public and private realm gathering spaces will be digitally transcribed. Base Maps will include public
rights-of-way, environmental features, cultural features, parks and open space, private development
including proposed new development and existing transportation corridors. Significant features
impacting the City of South Miami Complete Streets Policy and Design Standards Manual will be
clearly identified and incorporated into the mapping system as overlays.
2.6 Infrastructure Analysis
TYLI will provide an Infrastructure Analysis for the proposed project area. As a minimum, the
Infrastructure Analysis will include:
• Conducting site visits to catalogue and map physical attributes including, but not limited to:
land use mapping, transportation corridors, roadway conditions, utility corridors, vegetative
massing, environmental characteristics, bridges/culverts, access points, pedestrian/bicycle
linkages, historical features, archaeological factors and significant above-ground utility
systems.
• Preliminary traffic analysis that provides traffic / circulation information, regional and local
transit system primary access points, pedestrian bicycle circulation.
2.7 Summary of Issues Identified
At the conclusion of Project Planning, and Existing Conditions Inventory, the Project Team will have
data necessary to complete the Complete Streets Policy and Design Standards Manual documents.
Quantifiable information will be stored in a digital format compatible with the City of South Miami
database. Non-quantifiable information including general policy statements, past studies, and
interviews and public workshop information will be incorporated into a "policy matrix". This matrix
will display proposed initiatives in a graphic format. Due to the complexity of this effort, the matrix
will be divided into the following categories:
• Streets as City Structure
• Streets for all Modes
• Streets as Public spaces
• Parking Accommodations
• Green Streets Principles for Low Impact Design (LID)
Our challenge will be to disseminate this information into a usable format in combination with the
digital mapping information gathered during Task 2.

TASK 3 – COMPLETE STREETS DOCUMENTATION
One of the primary aims of a solid Smart Growth planning philosophy is to provide a mechanism
and opportunity for communities such as South Miami, to visualize the future of their community and
plan for that vision in a way that effectively addresses transportation systems. From a land use
perspective, it is widely recognized that the manner in which a community allocates its land for
various uses, and the connectivity of these uses, directly supports these community activities and
promotes economic development. Transportation systems and infrastructure improvements have a
major impact on the degree to which a livable community
can be achieved.
A major focal point for the TYLI Team will be to work in a
collaborative manner with the South Miami Community,
local decision-makers in the business community, and other
City and community-based organizations. This collaborative
process will enable the community to conceive a vision of
how the physical characteristics of the Complete Streets
program looks and functions. The Complete Streets Policy
and Design Standards Manual will also provide a strategy to
modify current physical and policies. Adopting a Complete
Streets program will make South Miami a more livable, attractive, pedestrian-friendly, transit-friendly,
business-friendly community where people can participate in a quality live-work-play environment.
Traffic calming measures will be include as part of the overall Complete Streets strategy.
Neighborhood traffic calming involves a host of solutions to assist in reducing traffic volumes or
reducing traffic speeds for areas where calmer traffic is desired to foster a more comfortable
environment for all roadway users. This includes, but is not limited to speed humps, raised
intersections, bulb-outs, shared streets, chicanes, diagonal diverters, and partial closures.
3.1 Integration of Policies, Regulations, and Modifications
One of the challenges in the Complete Streets planning process is to examine the extent to which the
regulatory environment currently permits the City of South Miami to adopt a comprehensive
Complete Streets program. The TYLI Team will:
• Conduct a thorough inventory of the type, location, size, and interrelationship of
transportation systems the City and compile it in electronic and tabular formats
• Conduct community leader interviews and survey residents and customers in the area on the
types Complete Streets measures are needed to enhance the City of South Miami and
promote live-work-play opportunities
• Identify potential types of transportation system users throughout the community
• Develop an electronic database of the characteristics of the City of South Miami vehicular,
bicycle and pedestrian transportation system
• Compare the City of South Miami regulations with proposed Complete Streets program
• Provide policy statements, design options and implementation strategies to apply a
Complete Streets strategy to the existing regulatory framework for integration and adoption

3.2 City of South Miami Complete Streets Policy and Design Standards Manual
Specific requirements will be developed to describe the criteria for a comprehensive complete
Streets program. The Complete Streets Policy and Design Standards Manual will include the
following components:
• Implementing Complete Street Policies
o Policy Manual for Implementation
• Complete Streets Design Principles
o Pedestrian accommodations including; adequate sidewalk width based on
accepted LOS; traditional and raised crosswalks; median crossing islands and
sidewalk bump-outs. We will advocate for sidewalks on both sides of each street, a
process for retrofitting ADA compliance design and pedestrian actuated traffic
signal elements. Traffic signal cycle lengths will be evaluated to minimize pedestrian
wait times and we will include criteria for installing RRFB and Hybrid/Hawk Signals
o Traffic calming measures including; advocacy of lower roadway design speeds,
defining the roadway edge of for vehicular travel lanes, inclusion of center
medians, reduced curb corner radii, elimination of free-flow right-turn lanes, and
installation of streetscape canopy trees.
o Bicycle accommodations including; protected or dedicated bicycle lanes,
accommodation of shared roadways or “sharrows”, neighborhood greenways &
trails, wide paved shoulders, and bicycle parking. On streets with higher volumes of
traffic (+3,000 ADT), bicycle facilities should be included that provide additional
separation from automobile traffic and mitigate potential conflicts.
o Transit accommodations including; bus pullouts, transit signal priority and bus
shelters
• Complete Streets Design Guidelines
o Connectivity and Small Blocks
o Parking Accommodations
o Roundabouts
o Pedestrian Comfort and Safety
o Bicycle Comfort and Safety
o Alleys or Service Lanes
o Green Streets
• Prototypical Complete Streets Hierarchy
o Collector Streets
o Sub-Collector Streets
o Local Streets
o Queuing Streets
o Shared Streets/ Woonerfs
o Commercial Shared Streets / Festival Streets
o Alleys / Service lanes
• Complete Streets Implementation Strategy
o Hierarchy Matrix
Matrix depicting “X” axis – street area/volume & “Y” axis - street type
o Grading System that includes; level of service standards relationship of vehicular to
bicycle, pedestrian, and transit that emphasizes pedestrian use in the transportation
system

3.3 Draft Report and Review
TYLI will facilitate the review of draft report by the City of South Miami to assure compliance with
FDOT regulations for transportation systems implementation.
Upon receipt of City staff comments on the draft report, the TYLI Team will revise the draft report to
reflect comments received. Key elements of the report will be presented to the City of South Miami
Mayor and Commission. Upon receipt of City comments on the draft report at the stakeholder
workshops, the TYLI Project Team will revise the draft report to reflect comments received. The final
revised document will become the blueprint for the implementation of a comprehensive complete
Streets program.
Following adoption, the consultant will complete final revisions and provide the City with copies of
the final documents as specified in the RFP.
