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

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 ramps /landings,
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.

Mr. Memari,
Your proposed preliminary design was presented to our City Commission. 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.

Mr. Memari,
Staff will forward a recommendation to the City Manager and City Commission on the proposed
intersection improvements. I will let you know if there are any comments. Staff is also aware that
this design supersedes the proposed traffic circle which proved to be inadequate as per MDC's
finding in their traffic study. Thank you.
