Mayor Julio Robaina
Dear Mayor Robaina:
My name is Lani Blechman, and 1 am a junior at New World School of the Arts in downtown
Miami. I have been nominated, along with five of my peers, to represent my school and our community
in a delegation of Floridians at the National Youth Leaders Conference (NYLC)_
The Congressional Youth Leadership Council, a non - profit educational organization, sponsors
NYLC which brings exceptional high school students to Washington, D.C. for an interactive sIK day
leadership conference, In the nation's capital we will meet many of the people who shape American
politics, policies, and laws.
Our activities are coordinated around the theme, 'The Leaders of Today Meeting the Leaders
of Tomorrow." We will interact with high ranking officials from the three branches of government, the
Foreign Service, and the news media, while we follow a rigorous academic curriculum designed to
inspire and educate young leaders. I have enclosed a sample of our itinerary for your review.
My participation in the NYLC depends on whether I can raise $645 in sponsorships. (The
conference tuition is $1,145 and my travel to Washington, D.C. will be $200). Through my parents and
my summer earnings I have raised $600.
t am hoping that you will be able to assist me with part of these costs. My tuition must be paid
no later than August 5, 2002.
1 strongly believe that attending the National Young Leaders Conference will enhance my
education in a way few can experience. The NYLC is an exceptional opportunity for me to hone my
leadership skills while meeting with individuals who make national policy that affects us locally. I hope
to represent the needs and desires of our community during the conference in Washington. Through
getting an insider's look at our government at work I will increase my own abilities to be actively
involved in ourcwmmundy.
Your support for my sponsorship request would be greatly appreciated. I will contact you next
week to discuss the possibility of receiving your support. I have enclosed background materials on the
Council to answer your questions and help you make your decision. Please contact me at (305)254
6031 or the Council at (202)638 -0009 for any further information.
sincerely,
Lani Blechman

Who We Are — Congressional Youth Leadership
Council
Program scholars and participants meet the highest criteria in academics and
leadership. They are nominated by high school educators or by the Council's alumni
in conjunction with school officials, or compete for admission through a college -like
application process.
CYLC is governed by a five - person Board of directors. Made up of executives with
extensive backgrounds in business, economics, media and govemment relations,
they are responsible for establishing the policy and charting the overall direction of
the organization.
In support of our mission, over 400 members of the U.S. Congress and more than
25 ambassadors representing countries around the world serve on CYLC's Honorary
Boards. In addition, an Educational Advisory Board, composed of national leaders in
education, government and administration, contribute their time, educational
expertise and guidance to CYLC.
The Congressional Youth Leadership Council provides programs that are tuition -
based and meet the Council of Better Business Bureau's Standards for Charitable
Solicitations. With the help of the Council's fundraising guides, many students secure
financial support from their local community.
What We Co
Every conference we structure is designed to instruct, enrich, and enthuse promising
students preparing them for a lifetime of leadership with an unforgettable
experience, Conference programs include: a keynote address by a distinguished
young leader; executive sessions with leaders from the president's administration;
signature simulations; behind - the - scenes briefings, tours and events; and group
seminars led by prominent figures from public and academic sectors.
In addition, extracurricular activities include evening socials and entertainment, as
well as tours of Capitol Hill, Washington, D.C.'s memorials and museums and the
landmarks of New York City.
The Council's signature simulations create the most authentic leadership laboratories
in education today providing experiential learning that is interactive, hands -on and
fun! They fully engage students in meaningful role -play and set the Council's
leadership programs apart from all others with this superior opportunity for
enrichment. Simulations such as Testing the Constitution, Model Congress and the
Global Summit each pose dynamic role- playing challenges with topics carefully
chosen to represent issues facing legislators and world leaders today. All are made
even more realistic by their settings - taking place in the heart of Washington, D.C.
or an executive conference room at the United Nations in New York City.

NYLC Curriculum
July 6, 2002
-� In keeping with NYLC's theme - The Leaders of Tomorrow Meeting the Leaders
of Today - the program uses the resources of Washington, D.C. to give students a
greater understanding of their robs in our democracy and the responsibilities of
leadership. As part of the conference curriculum, students work through role- playing
exercises involving an international crisis, a session of Congress, and a Supreme
Court case. The conference challenges participants to assess problems, contribute to
group discussions and assume roles in various situations. Through these hands -on
experiences, students develop important leadership skills by learning to evaluate
critical information, form and advocate positions and make decisions.
NYLC scholars also meet the men and women who shape our laws and policies.
Students gain insiders' perspectives when discussing key issues with Cabinet
secretaries, members of Congress, diplomats, lobbyists, journalists and
academicians. Interaction with accomplished leaders gives students direct
experience and guidance that cannot be found in textbooks.

Re: Authorization to execute an agreement
with Florida Power and Light for the 73rd
Street Parking and Retail Project
A RESOLUTION OF THE MAYOR AND CITY COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF SOUTH
MIAMI, FLORIDA, RELATING TO EXECUTE AN AGREEMENT WITH FLORIDA
POWER AND LIGHT FOR RELOCATING EXISTING AERIAL FACILITIES TO
FACILITATE CONSTRUCTION OF THE SW 73RD STREET PARKING AND RETAIL
PROJECT AND PROVIDING AN EFFECTIVE DATE.
BACKGROUND:
There are a number poles with overhead transformers and utility and power lines within the City
property. Currently these poles are primarily serving the property on the north side of the City
property. The relocation plan calls for consolidating the overhead transformers and housing
them in a transformer vault located within the parking garage structure. This is an attempt to
reduce visual pollution as well as to minimize damage to the overhead transformers due to
hurricane or any major storms. These facilities would have to be relocated to accommodate the
garage project. Attached is a proposal from Florida Power and Light to perform the necessary
work to relocate their aerial facilities.
RECOMMENDATION
The proposed Agreement is recommended for City Commission approval.

Dear Mrs. Goldenberg,
Ref Relocation of existing FPL facilities at vicinity of SW 73rd ST and 58th AVE.
You have requested FPL to relocate the existing overhead distribution facilities at the above -
mentioned property. This work will require the installation of a new temporary system to feed the
existing shopping center, before the existing system can be removed. The job is broken down in
different phases as requested by Mr. W. Ajibola Balogun, Engineer & Construction Director for
City of South Miami.
1- FPL needs to build a temporary system to feed existing shopping center (South of SW
72 ST between SW 58th AVE and SW 58th CT) until the permanent vault is built. Once
the vault is energized FPL will remove this temporary system, which consist of a
transformer and a span of primary. The total cost to build and remove the temporary
system is $3659. This cost does not include the poles that need to be installed by Bell
South.
2- Then FPL needs to install new overhead lines to feed existing facilities in the alley behind
Larios. This is providing that FPL gets the permit to install two new poles in the alley n/o
this property and another pole on the northeast corner of Deli Lane Cafe on SW 59th
AVE. The cost for this job is $14,543. Next option, if FPL does not get this permit,
would be to install new underground system from the pole behind Larios to the overhead
lines East of Winn Dixie. The cost for this underground option is $30,991.
3- Next step is to remove eight streetlights and to install two new concrete poles (35'SU)
with the streetlights. The cost for this work is $8613.
4- The above- mentioned steps must be completed before FPL can proceed to remove the
existing overhead lines. The cost to remove the overhead lines is $16,069.
This estimate is valid up to 6 months. Please, advise in writing of your decision at your earliest
convenience. The contribution must be paid in full prior to commencement of construction by
FPL. Once the payment has been received, the final design will be completed and then FPL will

apply for permits from the respective authorities. Once this is received the job will be scheduled
with our construction department. The work will begin six weeks from that time.
The construction time for the entire project will depend on the coordination between South
Miami, Bell South, Charter Communications and FPL. Also FPL will need to schedule outages
with its existing customers, and to close lanes of traffic to secure the working area, and eliminate
any hazards to the public.
Last FPL will proceed with the installation of the new vault; once we have received the easement,
the payment and the vault is ready. The preliminary cost for this work is $16,211 This cost is
based on the proposed plans provided by TLC Engineering for Architecture and the proposed
location for the vault; it will be revised once FPL has received the final approved plans from the
General Contractor. To install the permanent system to feed existing shopping center (South of
SW 72nd ST between SW 58th AVE and SW 58th CT), the General Contractor or electrician need
to install the PVC conduits from the vault to each pole, FPL will run the new Underground to
Overhead services.
Schedule changes will be communicated in advance throughout the planning and construction
phases. If you have any questions or concerns, please contact me at 305 387 6664.
Sincerely,
Raul Gonzalez

Re: Authorization to execute a contract
with Centex Rooney Construction Co.,
Inc. for the 73rd Street Parking and Retail
Project
A RESOLUTION OF THE MAYOR AND CITY COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF SOUTH MIAMI, FLORIDA,
RELATING TO EXECUTE A CONSTRUCTION MANAGEMENT SERVICES AGREEMENT WITH CENTEX
ROONEY CONSTRUCTION CO., INC., FOR CONSTRUCTION MANAGER @ RISK SERVICES FOR THE
SW 73RD STREET PARKING AND RETAIL PROJECT AND PROVIDING AN EFFECTIVE DATE.
BACKGROUND:
The City of South Miami solicited proposals from qualified Construction Managers to provide
Construction Management (CM) @ Risk services for the SW 73rd Street Parking and Retail project. A
selection process was set up based on the requirements of the State Statues governing acquisition of
professional architectural and engineering services. The City Commission at its special meeting on June
19, 2002 accepted the Selection Committee recommendation and authorized the Administration to
negotiate an agreement with the first ranked firm Centex Rooney Construction Co., Inc.
The agreement for the CM services consists of two phases. The first phase of the agreement is for pre -
construction services, wherein the CM functions as an agent of the City, is paid a fixed fee for services
performed, and is an integral part of the design team. The negotiated fee is $89,235.00,. which is
approximately 1.5% of the budget amount. A breakdown of the fee is attached. The industry norm for
such a fee ranges between 1% to 2% of the budget amount depending on the.size and complexity of the
project. The Architects estimate of the project is $5,936,518. Pre- construction services shall include such
items as value engineering, scheduling, constructability analyses and the development of a project
estimates at various stages of the project leading to a Guaranteed Maximum Price (GMP). If the GMP is
accepted, the second phase (the construction phase) is implemented. The source of funding for the
Construction Management services is the special funding allocated for the project by the City
Commission. Attached are also the proposed resolution, a copy of the negotiated agreement and a
preliminary project schedule.
RECOMMENDATION
The proposed Agreement is recommended for City Commission approval.

Section 6: Guaranteed Maximum Price
6.1 The Guaranteed Maximum Price ( "GMP ") includes Cost of the Work required by the
Contract Documents as defined in Section 8, and the Construction Manager's fee as defined in
Section 7.2 herein. The GMP will be established based on design documents prepared by the
Architect /Engineer. The GMP is subject to modification for changes in the Work as provided in
Section 9.
6.2 The GMP will only include those taxes in the Cost of the Work which are legally
applicable at the time the GMP is established.

the Construction Manager's Fee, the expended portions of the Construction Manager's
contingency and the actual expenditures representing the Cost of the Work as defined in Section
8. Liquidated damages, if any, are different from, and are not a part of, this calculation. Upon

LATE JAMES & ROSA L. BOWMAN; PROVIDING AN EFFECTIVE DATE
BACKGROUND:
Attached Resolution No. 135 -88 -7084 was previously approved by the City Commission to re -name the
street in 1988. ` Since then, we have received concerns and complaints from both residents and the county
emergency crew (Fire Department & Emergency Rescue) could not locate the street once known as SW 62nd
Terrace, since the sign now reads Rosa L. Bowman Terrace only. After much discussion with County staff,
we were advised that the street should have been co- designated instead of re- named. While in the process of
changing the sign and in the spirit of recognizing distinguish residents, we recommend that Mr. James
Bowman (husband of Mrs. Rosa Bowman) be recognized on the same sign. Mr. & Mrs. Bowman were long
time residents of the City of South Miami, distinguished members of the Mt. Olive Church whose family
contributed civic services to the City.
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the City Commission approve the street co- designation.

MIAMI, FLORIDA, RELATING TO ACCEPTING THE CITY OF SOUTH MIAMI'S
HOMETOWN INTERMODAL TRANSPORTATION MASTER PLAN REPORT PREPARED
BY KIMLEY HORN AND ASSOCIATES, INC. AND PROVIDING FOR AN EFFECTIVE DATE.
BACKGROUND:
The Miami -Dade Metropolitan Planning Organization (MPO) through Unified Planning Work
Program (UPWP) funded a Hometown Intermodal Transportation Study for the City of South
Miami. The purpose of this study is to reevaluate earlier transit- related studies concerning the
City's central business district, locally referred to as the Hometown District, and develop a
multimodal mobility plan for the Hometown District and the surrounding area. The plan will
provide for convenient and efficient use of motorized and non - motorized transportation and
address such issues as vehicular circulation and parking, pedestrian/bicyclist movements, and
public transportation including possible circulator service, resulting in short and long term
strategies for implementation of the resultant plan. The primary objective of such a plan, once
implemented, is to provide people with real, viable and effective alternative to personalized
motorized vehicle, to reduce vehicle trips and to reduce vehicular congestion.
The attached report was prepared based on all the previous studies and with extensive input from
the County and FDOT staff. The recommendations of the report will be incorporated in the
Comprehensive Plans, as appropriate, during the normal Comprehensive Plan updating cycle.
The report was fully funded by the MPO and did not require any City funds.

CITY OF SOUTH MIAMI
HOMETOWN INTERMODAL TRANSPORTATION 'STUDY
The City of South Miami's vision calls for a transportation system that reduces vehicular trips
and congestion by providing attractive . alternatives to single- occupant vehicles. The purpose of
this study is to develop a multimodal mobility plan for the area surrounding the South Miami
Metrorail Station including the City's "Hometown District," the "Transit Oriented Development
District," civic uses, an industrial district, residential neighborhoods, and South Miami and Larkin
Hospitals.
The "Hometown" study area represents a major activity center on the Metrorail corridor in need
of multimodal transportation solutions. Envisioned are alternative modes of transportation, wider
sidewalks to accommodate pedestrians, parking as a district -wide resource, and mixed -use
development to reduce vehicular traffic generation.
During the development of this project related transportation studies in the study area were
reviewed and findings were summarized. Relevant information were compiled including traffic
data, transit data, bicycle /pedestrian data, and land use characteristics. These data were analyzed
to evaluate current conditions and identify opportunities for multimodal mobility options.
The arterial roadways in the "Hometown" study area were found to experience significant
congestion. 'Although the secondary tier of roadways demonstrate a better level of service, as
congestion worsens on the arterial roadways, traffic may increase in these corridors degrading
their level of service and negatively impacting quality of life.
The "Hometown" study area is currently serviced by seven Metrobus routes and a "shuttle service
operated by the University of Miami. The South Miami Metrorail Station provides' access to
Metrorail, which is the heavy rail component of Miami -Dade County's transit system. The
station also serves as a hub for several Metrobus routes that operate within the "Hometown"
study area and a garage at the station provides parking capacity for 1,774 vehicles.
Overall, the ; "Hometown" study area lacks adequate bicycle facilities in its major roadway
corridors. The M -Path, which runs parallel to U.S. 1 under the Metrorail, is the only dedicated
bicycle facility within the "Hometown" study area.

Pedestrian deficiencies were identified along SW 80th Street, Red Road, and U.S. 1. In particular,
U.S. 1 acts as a physical and psychological barrier impeding pedestrian movement between the
"Hometown" study area's activity centers. Additionally, sidewalks are not provided along many
local streets, such as the residential neighborhood south of the downtown and the industrial area
east of U.S. 1 and north of the South Miami Metrorail. Station.
Downtown South Miami suffers from a public perception that parking spaces are hard to find, but,
actually there is an abundance of parking. This perception is likely related to several factors
including (1) many popular destinations have few parking spaces within close proximity, (2)
South Miami's blocks and lots are small, which leaves little room for parking spaces, (3) many of
South Miami's patrons come` from suburban areas that have oversized parking lots directly in
front of their destinations, and (4) the parking garages and parking lots with available parking
spaces typically are not well connected to the popular destinations.
Based on the results of the data collection and analysis, needs in the areas of traffic operations,
parking policy, pedestrian/bicycle movements, and transit were determined. Next, short and long
term projects were identified to maximize the efficiency of the multimodal transportation system.
These projects were grouped by improvement type into a "project bank of recommended
improvements, which are presented in the attached graphics. The "project bank ' includes the
following categories of improvements;
■ Traffic Capacity /Operations Enhancements
■ Transit Improvements
• Parking Improvements
■ Pedestrian Improvements
■ Bicycle Improvements
■ Neighborhood Traffic Management /Livability
■ Land Use/Development /Redevelopment
An implementation plan was developed to assist the City in establishing a course of action to
realize the transportation improvements identified in the "project bank." A system was created
for comparing and prioritizing the projects to help City officials develop a schedule for
implementing the improvements. Finally, an improvement evaluation program was developed to
evaluate the recommended strategies and determine their effectiveness after implementation.

South Miami "Hometown Intermodal Transportation Study"
Draft Technical Memorandum #3 - Transportation Master Plan ill
June 2002
INTRODUCTION
_i11-7.1
The City of South Miami's vision calls for a transportation system that reduces vehicular trips
and congestion by providing attractive alternatives to single- occupant vehicles. The purpose of
this study is to develop a multimodal mobility plan for the area surrounding the South Miami
Metrorail Station including the City's "Hometown District," the "Transit Oriented Development
District," civic uses, an industrial district, residential neighborhoods, and South Miami and Larkin
Hospitals.
The "Hometown" study area represents a major activity center on the Metrorail corridor in need
of multimodal transportation solutions. Envisioned are alternative modes of transportation, wider
sidewalks to accommodate pedestrians, parking as a district -wide resource, and mixed -use
development to reduce vehicular traffic generation. Short and long term strategies will be
developed to address vehicular circulation and parking, pedestrian/bicyclist movements, and
public transportation.
This technical memorandum is the third in a series of reports documenting the work, findings,
and recommendations of this study. The first technical memorandum summarized a "Review of
Previous Work" — related transportation studies in the study area were reviewed and their findings
were summarized. The second technical memorandum summarized the collection of data and an
analysis of existing transportation and land use conditions including traffic, transit,
bicycle /pedestrian, parking, zoning, and areas with development/redevelopment potential. This
technical memorandum:
• Documents the study area's multimodal transportation needs
• Develops and prioritizes short and long term strategies
• Outlines the desired course of action in an implementation plan
• Establishes a mechanism to evaluate strategies after implementation
The product of this technical memorandum is a multimodal transportation master plan for the
"Hometown" study area.

MULTIMODAL TRANSPORTATION NEEDS AND STRATEGIES
Based on an analysis of transportation data and land use patterns, needs in the areas of traffic
operations, transit, bicycle /pedestrian movements, neighborhood traffic management, parking,
and redevelopment were identified. A number of short and long term multimodal transportation
strategies were then identified to address these deficiencies and encourage the use of mass and
non - motorized transit in the "Hometown" study area. These strategies were developed into a
"project bank" of recommended improvements to satisfy the "Hometown study area's mobility
needs.
Traffic Capacity /Operations Enhancements
This portion of the "project bank" identifies improvements to address capacity deficiencies in the
"Hometown" study area. Although the primary focus of this study was to identify strategies to
increase the use and maximize the efficiency of mass transit and alternative modes, several traffic
capacity /operations enhancements were deemed necessary. In particular, both Sunset Drive and
Red Road experience recurring congestion, so operational enhancements to enhance traffic flow
are recommended on these facilities. ` Without operational enhancements, as congestion worsens
on these arterials cut - through traffic will increase in surrounding residential neighborhoods
negatively impacting quality of life for the local residents.
The recommended traffic capacity /operations enhancements for the "Hometown" study area are
presented in Figure 1 and include the following:
1. Implement traffic signal timing modifications and operational recommendations from
the Downtown Traffic Engineering Study to improve traffic flow on Sunset Drive
and Red Road. The recommendations affect the following intersections:
• SW 73rd Street at Red Road — Restrict eastbound traffic to right -turn only
• Sunset Drive at SW 58"' Avenue — Implement minor adjustments to signal timing
• Sunset Drive at Red Road — Implement signal timing modifications
2. Implement operational enhancements at the intersection of Sunset Drive and SW 62nd
Avenue including adding a second eastbound left -turn lane and directional signage

for U.S. 1 northbound. These improvements will encourage eastbound motorists seeking
rz to access U.S. 1 northbound — eastbound left -turns are prohibited at the intersection of
Sunset Drive and U.S. 1 — to turn left off Sunset Drive at SW 62nd Avenue and access
U.S. 1 via SW 700' Street. Reducing the amount of through traffic on Sunset Drive
between SW 62nd Avenue and U.S. 1 may contribute to a more attractive pedestrian
environment along Sunset Drive in the vicinity of City Hall, the public library, and the
South Miami Metrorail Station.
Transit Improvements
This portion of the "project bank" identifies transit' improvements for the "Hometown Study
Area." Existing transit service provided by Miami -Dade Transit (MDT) includes several
Metrobus routes and the Metrorail rapid transit system. The Metrobus routes primarily travel
along major thoroughfares and the service focuses primarily on regional travel. The South Miami
Metrorail Station functions as the study area's transit focal point and serves as a hub for the
Metrobus routes. Although the County's transit system provides a transportation alternative,
some residents of the "Hometown" study area cannot easily access the system and local trips
within the community are not well served.
One option to accommodate trips not served by the County's transit system is to provide a
community transit circulator or shuttle. These types of services can serve local trips within the
community and neighborhoods not served by the County's transit system. The City of South
Miami previously provided a circulator service connecting the "Hometown District" with the
South Miami Metrorail Station; however, this service was discontinued until a more effective
route is developed.
The recommended transit enhancements for the "Hometown" study area include the following:
1. Reestablish circulator transit service. The circulator service should complement the
transit service offered by MDT by providing access to the South Miami Metrorail Station
and serving local trips within the community, such as shopping and medical trips. A
detailed study is recommended to determine specific route alignments, headways, hours
of operation, and other service characteristics.

L ! 2. Provide amenities at bus stops such as shelters, benches, and transit information. A
;r variety of amenities can be provided to enhance the attractiveness of public
j transportation. Designing waiting facilities with amenities that increase passenger's
comfort levels and feelings of security can encourage travelers to use public transit. Bus
stop locations that are designed with shelters, benches, and lighting can furnish
comfortable, safe waiting areas for transit users. Bus stops also can be designed to make
transit more convenient, accessible and aesthetically appealing to transit users. Providing
items such as transit information kiosks or advanced traveler information systems
(ATIS), which provide real -time arrival/departure information to transit users, can further
increase the appeal of public transportation.
Bicycle Improvements
Most streets in the "Hometown" study area are primarily designed for motorized vehicles at the
expense of non - motorized modes of travel. This component of the "project bank" begins to
address bicycle travel as a legitimate mode of travel within South Miami. Currently, the lack of
safe, convenient, and appropriate bicycle facilities in the area often leads to bicyclists riding in
unsafe conditions. An objective of this study is to increase the number and share of bicycle trips
by providing an attractive and safe means for travel. However, the wide range of bicyclists'
abilities and reason for travel must be understood before targeting transportation improvements
for bicyclists.
The Florida Department of Transportation's (FDOT's) Bicycle Facilities Planning and Design
Book classifies bicycle travel into two categories, utilitarian and recreational. A utilitarian trip is
primarily concerned with reaching a specific destination quickly, with few interruptions. A
recreational trip is less concerned with travel time to a specific destination and is more influenced
by the presence of attractive, safe paths and the existence of amenities at stops along the way.
Specific improvements aimed at bettering the conditions for both trip purposes are identified in
the "project bank.
Bicyclists also differ widely in their abilities and in their preferences for riding environments. in
transportation planning, bicyclists are often separated into three levels of bicycling ability. An
improvement deemed adequate for one group may not be suitable for another group. Therefore,

user profiles are established and basic design features are identified to help local officials target
appropriate bicycle improvements. Three profile user groups for bicyclists are:
■ Experienced: Experienced riders can handle most traffic conditions. Some
experienced riders ride mainly for recreation while others use the bicycle for primary
transportation. This group is comfortable riding on collector and arterial streets and
is best served by direct access destinations via the existing street system.
Requirements include sufficient width on the roadway or shoulder so that neither the
motorist nor the cyclist needs to change positions when passing.
■ Basic: The majority of adult or teenage riders are considered basic cyclists. This
group uses bicycles too infrequently to develop advanced cycling skills and prefers
comfortable direct access to destinations via low volume streets or designated bicycle
facilities. Most basic riders ride for recreation; however, for some members of this
group bicycles may be the primary means of transportation to school or work.
■ Children: Children and preteen riders lack experience mixing with vehicular traffic
and their bicycle use is primarily for recreation and may be monitored by their
parents. This group prefers residential streets with low motor vehicle speed limits
and traffic volumes. Well - defined separation of bicycles and motor vehicles on
arterial and collector streets is required as a minimum. Ideally, separate bike paths
should be provided.
The recommended enhancements to improve the bicycle environment for all cyclists in the
"Hometown" study area are presented in Figure 2 and include the following:
1. Improve the M -Path connection between the South Miami Metrorail Station and SW 70`h
Street. The M -Path is currently missing a segment of trail between SW 70th Street and
the South Miami Metrorail Station. Bicyclists, pedestrians, joggers, and in -line skaters
are forced to take a circuitous route that includes several blind corners and sharing the
fire station driveway west of the Metrorail tracks on SW 70th Street. A more direct
connection could be made between SW 70"' Street and Sunset Drive by building a short
section of trail between the Metrorail station and rail power plant.

2. Extend the M -Path south of SW 67tt' Avenue to the Dadeland South Metrorail Station and
South Dade Trail. The southern terminus of the M -Path is currently at SW 67"' Avenue.
Extending this facility south to the Dadeland South Metrorail Station would provide a
connection to the South Dade Trail, an existing bicycle trail that runs along the South
Dade Busway to Cutler Ridge. One significant challenge associated with extending the
M -Path will be crossing the Snapper Creek Expressway.
3. Improve the crossing conditions for bicyclists at intersections along the M -Path. One of
the main conflict points between bicyclists and motorists occurs at intersections. When
two -way shared use paths are located immediately adjacent to roadways, such as is the
case with the M -Path, conflict is intensified. The shift of bicyclists out of the travel lane
may create sight distance problems that place a motorist and bicyclist in direct conflict
immediately after a vehicle makes a' right turn at an intersection. The alignment,
crosswalks, and signage at intersections along the M -Path should be examined for
measures to improve crossing conditions for bicyclists. In particular, improvements are
recommended for the M- Path's intersections with SW 62nd Avenue and Sunset Drive.
4. Add bicycle lanes to local roadways to create a network of bicycle facilities. Bicycle
lanes provide a safer environment for the cyclist by increasing the separation between
bicycle and motor vehicle and designating an appropriate place for bicycles to be used.
Marking a bike lane also changes the way the facility is treated in law. Motorists are not
allowed to park, except momentarily, in a bike lane and motorists entering a roadway
from a side street are required to yield to bicyclists within a bike lane. In addition, when -
arterial or collector roadways are not improved for bicycling, many novice (basic)
bicyclists are likely to make use of sidewalks. In doing so, they endanger'pedestrians and
subject themselves and motorists to conflicts that neither is expecting, especially at
driveways and intersections.
The need for bicycle lanes within the "Hometown" study area was identified with input
from the Miami -Dade Metropolitan Planning Organization (MPO). Additionally, the
Miami -Dade Public Works Department provided a potential bicycle corridor map (see
Figure 3) for the City of South Miami. A primary objective in the development of
bicycle facilities should be to provide connections to the South Miami Metrorail Station.
In general, bicycle lanes should be considered for the following roadways:

The City of South Miami should coordinate with the Miami -Dade MPO and the Miami -
Dade County Public Works Department to ensure that bicycle lanes are included as part
of future roadway improvement projects.
5. Establish area -wide 25 -miles per hour (mph) speed limits for residential neighborhoods.
The local grid street network provides residents with short blocks and frequent
connections between the neighborhoods and the downtown area, often running parallel to
major traffic thoroughfares. Unfortunately, field visits to the "Hometown" study area
revealed that a majority of the residential streets in the city are narrow. The limited travel
lane width provided on these streets often precludes the addition of bicycle lanes.
Nevertheless, these streets may still be attractive to the novice bicyclists ( "basic" and
"children ") that feel more comfortable on lower volume streets. At speed limits posted
below 25 mph, bicyclists could easily mix with the low volume traffic on local residential
streets without requiring separate bicycle lanes. In order to provide more balance
between travel modes, the City of South Miami should begin efforts to establish a 25-
mph speed limit for local streets in residential neighborhoods.
6. Establish educational and safety programs for bicyclists. The City of South Miami
should promote and actively participate in existing annual events sponsored by the
Miami -Dade County MPO including Bike Month (May) and Bike to Work Week (in
May). The Florida Traffic Safety Education Program sponsored by FDOT teaches
school children in 3rd through 5d' grades bicycle traffic safety skills.

7. Establish a bicycle parking ordinance. Studies have found that bicycle parking facilities
are essential to encourage all types of bicycling. The City of South Miami should
consider adopting bicycle parking ordinance similar to the Miami -Dade County Bicycle
Parking Ordinance, which requires that bicycling parking be provided by future
commercial and office developments that also provide parking for motor vehicles.
Provisions in a newly adopted bicycle parking ordinance could also encourage the
retrofitting of existing uses to include bicycle parking, especially within the downtown.
Pedestrian Enhancements
The success of transit and other alternative travel modes are highly dependent on the state of
pedestrian facilities and amenities. As a travel mode and recreational activity, walking offers the
potential to reduce traffic congestion, improve air quality, and contribute to healthier citizens. In
the "Hometown" study area, sidewalk deficiencies and a largely inhospitable pedestrian
environment contributes to a reliance on the automobile even for short trips. A goal of this
element of the "project bank" is to increase the number and share of walking trips for all trip
purposes as a means of (1) increasing personal enjoyment, (2) enhancing the urban quality of life,
and (3) reducing vehicular trips on local roadways.
Recommendations to improve the pedestrian environment in the "Hometown study area are
presented in Figure 4 and are summarized below.
1. Add sidewalks in residential neighborhoods. An inventory of existing pedestrian
facilities within the "Hometown" study area found that the majority of residential streets
do not have sidewalks. Sidewalks increase pedestrian safety by separating pedestrians
from vehicular traffic. One recent Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) study cited
the presence of sidewalks in residential areas as the physical factor in the roadway
environment that has the greatest impact on pedestrian safety.
The City of South Miami should begin exploring options for installing sidewalks on all
residential streets within the "Hometown" study area. These sidewalks could provide
direct pedestrian connections between residential areas and activity centers such as the
downtown and the South Miami Metrorail Station.

2. Add sidewalks in the industrial area north of the South Miami Metrorail Station. The
industrial area on the west side of U.S. 1 to the north of SW 70'b Street is within the
Transit Oriented Design District (TODD) and convenient walking distance to the South
Miami Metrorail Station. This general area is beginning to be redeveloped with
pedestrian scale projects including the mixed -use joint development venture at the South
Miami Metrorail Station and University Place, a residential development planned for the
northwest corner of the intersection of SW 70'b Street and SW 59h Place. Future
roadway improvements to this area should include the addition of sidewalks.
3. Add sidewalks to SW Wh Street. The opportunity to walk to a destination or along a
particular route is completely dependent upon continuous access. Therefore, any gap or
interruption in the route will effectively create a barrier to walking. The City of South
Miami should target sidewalk improvements along SW 80`h Street between SW 57`h
Avenue (Red Road) and U.S'. 1 to begin establishing this route as a pedestrian corridor.
4. Construct the U.S. 1 pedestrian overpass. U.S. 1 acts as a physical and psychological
barrier impeding pedestrian movement between the "Hometown" study area's activity
centers on either side. The City of South Miami is in the process of finalizing conceptual
plans for a pedestrian bridge over U.S. 1 that will connect to the South Miami Metrorail
Station.
5. Implement pedestrian safety improvements at intersections within the "Hometown" study
4 J
area. Intersections, particularly signalized intersections, are the most dangerous part of
the roadway network for pedestrians. At signalized intersections, the level of attention
given to pedestrians is often a function of motorists' travel speed, acceptance gap when
` turning right or left, traffic volumes, and presence and speed of other vehicles at the
intersection. Within the "Hometown" study area several intersections designed to
efficiently process large amounts of traffic, especially along U.S. 1, create unfavorable
` J conditions for pedestrians.
The City of South Miami should conduct pedestrian safety studies at key intersections
within the "Hometown" study area to identify suitable pedestrian safety improvements,
beginning with the following intersections:

4; U.S. 1 at SW 62nd Avenue
■ Sunset Drive and U.S. 1
■ Sunset Drive and Red Road
6. Create a network of pedestrian paths within the downtown. In order to create an
environment that is not reliant on the automobile, pedestrians must be able to move easily
and safely within the downtown. This pedestrian friendly environment requires the
creation of a pedestrian network that provides continuous access to all areas of the
downtown. In the City of South Miami, the short blocks and grid street network provide
convenient access to most properties within the downtown. The primary pedestrian
system should coincide with the street system; however, more direct connections may be
considered between buildings or in alleyways.
Improvements aimed at transforming the existing automobile oriented streets into a more
pedestrian friendly environment are already underway in South Miami. Recent
streetscape improvements to Dorn Avenue and to Sunset Drive east of U.S 1 have
attracted notable attention to the City of South Miami's efforts to create a pedestrian -
oriented downtown. The City of South Miami has also recently completed a streetscape
improvement plan for SW 73rd Street between U.S 1 and Red Road. Common design
elements for all these streets include wider sidewalks, street trees, better pedestrian
crossing opportunities, traffic calming, and enhanced street lighting.
The City of South Miami should continue working towards creating a comprehensive
pedestrian network that connects all areas of the downtown. Immediate improvements
should be identified that better connect available parking opportunities in the downtown
with pedestrian activity centers. Opportunities to connect to the residential neighborhood
south of downtown should also be explored.
7. Provide a pedestrian crossing on Red Road south of Sunset Drive. The parking demand
generated by businesses on the east of Red Road south of Sunset Drive often exceeds the
available parking supply. Although parking is available on the west side of Red Road,
the existing design of Red Road acts as a pedestrian barrier. A pedestrian crossing should
be provided on Red Road at SW 73rd Street to accommodate pedestrian needs in this area.

DRAFT
8. Check traffic signal timings to verify that adequate time is allotted for pedestrian
Fes-,
crossings. The City of South Miami should evaluate all traffic signals within the study
area and work with the Miami -Dade County Public Works Department to ensure that
adequate pedestrian walk and clearance time is provided. Also, as a general rule
pedestrians are anxious to get back underway within approximately 30 seconds of waiting
for a walk indication. Although it is not always practical to accommodate pedestrians
with this short of a wait time, every effort should be made to keep the wait to the
minimum.
Neighborhood Traffic Management/Livability
This element of the "project bank" was created in response to growing concerns over traffic
intrusion into local residential neighborhoods. The predominate street pattern found in the
residential neighborhoods is comprised of a grid network providing short blocks and frequent
connections to major arterial and collector roadways. This street configuration provides residents
and citizens of South Miami convenient access and circulation alternatives, but it also cultivates
cut - through traffic in the neighborhoods.
Recommendations for mitigating cut - through traffic and improving the quality of life for
residents are summarized below. The locations of these projects are identified in Figure 5.
1. Implement traffic calming measures in the residential neighborhood south of downtown.
This neighborhood is generally bound by SW 62nd Avenue on the west, Red Road on the
east, SW 80th Street on the south, and SW 74th Street. A conceptual traffic calming plan
for this was developed in 2002. The City of South Miami should move forward and
begin implementing traffic control measures, especially along SW 58th Avenue and SW
59th Avenue.
2. Implement traffic calming measures in the residential neighborhood north of Sunset
Drive and east of the Brewer Canal. This neighborhood is generally bound by the Brewer
Canal on the west, SW 62nd Avenue on the east, Sunset Drive on the south, and SW 64th
Street on the north. A traffic calming plan for this was developed in 2001. The City of
South Miami should move forward and begin implementing these traffic control
measures to address cut - through traffic problems.

3. Implement traffic calming measures in the residential neighborhood south of Sunset
Drive and east of SW 67t1' Avenue. This neighborhood is generally bound by SW 67"'
, J Avenue on the west, SW 62nd Avenue on the east, U.S. 1 on the south, and Sunset Drive
on the north. Local residents have raised concerns over the amount of cut - through traffic
in their neighborhood. In response, the City of South Miami collected traffic data in the
area to determine the extent of the problem. In particular, Manor Lane and SW 63rd
Avenue were identified as a cut - through route used to avoid congestion on U.S. 1. The
City of South Miami should begin to identify traffic calming solutions to address this
problem.
4. Implement streetscape improvements in the "Hometown Plan" Area 2. This
neighborhood is generally bound by SW 62nd Avenue on the west, Red Road on the east,
U.S. 1 on the south, and Miller Drive on the north. In 1994, the City of South Miami
created a vision for improving the quality of life in this neighborhood. The document,
known as The "Hometown Plan" Area 2, identified several streetscape and traffic
calming improvements aimed at creating streets that function as public spaces designed
for people, and not just cars. Recommendations from the study include:
■ Plant street trees and implement traffic calming measures along SW 59"'
Place (Church Street).
• Plant street trees along Red Road.
• Plant street trees, build a landscaped median with shade trees where right -of-
way is available, and implement traffic calming measures along SW 64"'
Street (Hardee Drive).
■ Raise the intersection at SW 59b Place and SW 64"' Street and add textured
paving to help create a public plaza tentatively identified as "Madison
Square."
5. Establish area -wide 25 -miles per hour (mph) speed limits for residential neighborhoods.
The City of South Miami should begin efforts to establish a 25 -mph speed limit for all
residential areas to promote a better balance between the travel modes. The Florida State
Uniform Traffic Control Law allows municipalities to set a speed limit of 20- or 25 -mph
on local streets in residential areas after an investigation determines that such a limit is

reasonable. Once this determination is made, it is not necessary to conduct a separate
investigation for each residential district (Florida Statutes 316.183(2)).
Aerial photography and a windshield survey found that narrow streets and lack of
sidewalks in the "Hometown" study area's residential neighborhoods force bicyclists and
pedestrians to share the road with automobiles. Lower automobile travel speeds allow
drivers to better anticipate conflicts and have more time to react to bicyclists and
pedestrians (see Figure 6). Research documented by FDOT shows that the speed of the
motorist and pedestrian detection is directly correlated. As motorists' speeds increase,
the ability to see a pedestrian, especially at night, drops significantly. Additionally, at
speeds posted below 25 mph, bicyclists could better mix with traffic on low volume local
streets without requiring separate bicycle lanes.
Parking Improvements
An aerial view of Downtown South Miami reveals that several parking garages are among the
downtown's largest buildings. Also, quite obvious is that a sizable portion of the
"Hometown" study area is made up of large surface parking lots, such as at the corner of SW 73rd
Street and SW 58th Avenue. The location of several parking facilities is within convenient
walking distance to many of the downtown's popular destinations. However, there is a public
perception of a parking shortage because connections between off -site parking facilities and final
destination often are not pedestrian friendly.
This element of the "project bank" targets improvements to provide both additional parking in the
downtown and better connections between parking facilities and final destinations.
Recommendations are presented in Figure 7 and are summarized below.
1. Planning is underway for a new parking garage in the Hometown District, which will be
built as a joint development project between the City of South Miami and a private
developer. The project is expected to include ground floor commercial retail. This
facility will be located on the site of an existing surface parking lot on SW 73rd Street
F a>> between SW 58th Court and SW 58th Avenue. The total number of parking spaces that
will be provided has not been determined.

The driver's focus at different speeds.
A low speed allows drivers to be more
aware of their surroundings and to have
time to react to other highway users.

changes as their speed increases. The set-

At the, posted "speed of 30 mph, many driv-
ers have a difficult time seeing bicyclists
and pedestrians, and stopping distance is
nearly twice that of 20 mph.
To safely accommodate alt users, this
highway needs substantial design changes,
that tell the driver that this its not the open-
highway it was a few blocks before.
A good's'tartwould be wide planting strips
with trees to narrow the roadway. A bike
lane could be striped: Intersections could
be narrowed even further with curb: ex-
tensions.

2. Provide better pedestrian connections between parking facilities and final destinations.
Although an adequate number of parking spaces exists in Downtown South Miami, the
public perception is that convenient parking spaces are hard to find. The problem is that
many parking spaces are not well connected to the most popular destinations. Figure 8
shows both the location of parking facilities in the downtown and popular destinations.
Four measures to help provide better connections between existing parking and popular
destinations are summarized below:
■ Wayfinding Signs — A uniform signage program should be introduced that helps
visitors quickly find parking opportunities close to their intended destination.
Common design elements of the signage program should include parking
identification, directional arrows, and nearby destinations that the particular
parking facility serves. Care should be given to design a sign package that helps
mold an identity for the City of South Miami. Additional signage should be
installed at the actual parking facilities that point pedestrians to nearby
destinations.
■ Streetscape lmprovements — Streetscape improvements within the downtown
area would provide a more conducive environment for short walking trips
between parking facilities and final pedestrian destinations. Potential
improvements include wider sidewalks, canopies, street trees, improved
pedestrian crossings, traffic calming, and street lighting.
An excellent example of transforming .the streetscape into an active pedestrian
environment already exists along Dom Avenue. The City of South Miami has
also recently completed a streetscape improvement plan for SW 73rd Street
,j between U.S. 1 and Red Road. These efforts should be expanded to include:
➢ SW 74"' Street between Red Road and SW 60th Avenue
➢ SW 62nd Avenue between U.S. 1 and SW 70`t Street
➢ SW 59th Avenue between SW 73rd Street and SW 74th Street
➢ SW 58th Avenue between U.S. 1 and SW 74"' Street
➢ Red Road between SW 74tb Street and Sunset Drive

• U.S. 1 Pedestrian Ove ass — Construct the U.S. 1 pedestrian overpass to provide
a safe connection between the parking garage at the South Miami Metrorail
Station and popular destinations on the east side of U.S. 1.
■ Pedestrian Crossing on Red Road south of Sunset Drive — Provide a designated
pedestrian crossing on Red Road south of Sunset Drive to provide a connection
between available parking on the west side of Red Road and popular destinations
on the east side of Red Road.
Land Use, Development, and Redevelopment Opportunities
This element of the "project bank" recognizes the synergy between land use planning and
multimodal transportation opportunities. Urban design efforts have been initiated by the City of
South Miami to reestablish the area as a place where the automobile ranks behind the overall
"livability" of the community. 'City of South Miami officials should continue to promote goals,
policies, and objectives aimed at returning the street to the community. Land use, development,
and redevelopment opportunities are presented in Figure 9 and include the following:
1._ South Miami Metrorail Station Joint Development Project — A joint development project
has been initiated for the South Miami Metrorail Station to create a mixed -use project in
the area surrounding the station and the space above the rear of the parking garage. The
project will include commercial and office land uses. A lease agreement with Hometown
Station, Ltd. has already been completed for the project.
2. University Place - University Place is a residential development planned for the
northwest corner of the intersection at SW 59"' Place and SW 70'h Street. The project
will consist of 300 apartment units and a small retail component.
3. Madison Square Redevelopment — The intersection of SW 59`h Place and SW 64th
Avenue (Hardee Drive) was once a neighborhood center that provided daily needs for
local residents including groceries, restaurants, and hair salons. The Hometown Plan
Area- 2 urban design effort recommended creating a special public plaza at the
intersection tentatively called "Madison Square."

6 4. Miami -Dade Public Housing Redevelopment - The Miami -Dade Housing Agency
currently maintains public housing along SW 59"' Place. The Department of Housing and
Urban Development (HUD) in Washington has directed local offices to reduce its
ownership and management of public housing. HOPE VI, administered through HUD,
has helped transform public housing property into privately owned houses and
townhouses across the country. The public housing stock in South Miami is a target for
future redevelopment.
5. Hometown District Parking Garage - Planning is underway for a new parking garage in
the "Hometown District," which will be built as a joint development project between the
City of South Miami and a private developer. The project will include ground floor
commercial retail. This development will be located at the site an existing surface
parking lots on SW 73rd Street between SW 58a Court and SW 58h Avenue.
6. Promote Future Redevelopment Opportunities — In addition to the specific projects
described above, several potential future redevelopment opportunities were identified
within the "Hometown" study area. The City of South Miami should consider
redevelopment opportunities on the following properties:
• Properties that are vacant or occupied by single story structures within' /2 mile of
the Metrorail station unless the City's Land Development Code or
Comprehensive Plan has certain restrictions that deter such redevelopment.
• All other City or County owned property such as the County's Public Library,
City Hall, and City Police Station.' These properties could be redeveloped as
public- private ventures that could provide benefit to the City.
• Properties with houses or apartment buildings in a deteriorated condition in the
residential neighborhood west of U.S. 1 and north of Sunset Drive.
• The City owned parking lot north of Sunset Drive on SW 58'1' Avenue.
7. Existing Overlay Districts — The City of South Miami has already created two overlay
zoning districts within the "Hometown" study area that provide incentives over existing
zoning categories to promote the city's pedestrian oriented goals. The overlay zoning
districts include:

■ The Hometown District is a triangular shaped area bound by U.S. 1 on the north
and west, Red Road on the east, and properties just south of SW 74th Street on the
south. This zoning district was designated in October 1993.
■ The Transit Oriented Development District (TODD) includes the area
surrounding the South Miami Metrorail Station on the west side of U.S. 1. This
zoning district was designated in April 1997.
8. Promote Development Efforts in the CRA - The City of South Miami has established a
Community Redevelopment Agency (CRA) for parts of the Hometown District, Transit
Oriented Development District, and the residential neighborhood west of U.S. 1 and
north of Sunset Drive. The mission of the CRA is to improve the economic strength and
the appearance of the area by pursuing grant money and establishing a tax increment
financing (TIF) district.
Summary
A "project bank" of recommended improvements was developed to address transportation
deficiencies in the "Hometown" study area and facilitate the use of mass and non - motorized
transit. The "project bank" grouped improvements into the following project types:
■ Traffic Capacity /Operations Enhancements
■ Transit Improvements
• Bicycle Improvements
• Pedestrian Enhancements
• Neighborhood Traffic Management/Livability
• Parking Improvements
• Land Use, Development, and Redevelopment Opportunities
These projects will next be prioritized into an implementation plan that outlines a recommended
course of action.

L IMPLEMENTATION PLAN
The "project bank" developed in this study identifies a number of projects aimed at creating a
transportation system that provides multimodal opportunities to reduce vehicular trips and
congestion by providing attractive alternatives to the single- occupant automobile. The first step
toward implementing these projects is to develop an implementation plan.
This section of the report provides a methodology for comparing the individual projects against
the goals of this study and begins to provide order of magnitude planning level cost estimates for
implementing these projects. This information should be used by the City of South Miami to
establish a course of action for moving forward with the transportation opportunities presented in
the "project bank."
"Project Bank" Evaluation
Improvements were originally categorized in the "project bank" by type including (1) traffic
capacity /operations enhancements, (2) transit improvements, (3) bicycle improvements, (4)
pedestrian enhancements, (5) neighborhood traffic management/livability, (6) parking
improvements, and (7) land use, development, and redevelopment opportunities. A project
comparison system was then developed to position the improvements identified in the "project
bank" into four prioritization categories. The criteria that were considered in the qualitative
evaluation of the "project bank" improvements were:
■ Improves Quality of the User's Experience: The project makes the experience of the
driver, transit passenger, pedestrian, or bicyclist more enjoyable by reducing travel times,
improving aesthetics, or providing amenities such as bus stops, signage, or streetscape.
■ Promotes the Use of Alternative Modes: The project encourages the use of transit,
walking, or bicycling through the improvement or creation of facilities for these modes of
travel.
■ Improves Sense of Place: The project creates, reinforces, or encourages improvements to
the urban fabric aimed at improving the character of the local environment,

■ Discourages Neighborhood Traffic Intrusion: The project discourages cut - through traffic
affecting local neighborhoods by making cut - through routes less desirable to motorists or
improving collector or arterial routes to improve traffic flow on these facilities.
■ Improves Safety: The project generally improves transportation safety through such
strategies as separating modes of travel or correcting existing deficiencies in how the
facility operates.
■ Promotes Favorable Development Pattern: The project promotes or facilitates the
preferred development patterns and typologies consistent with the objectives of the
Hometown Plan, Transit Overlay Development District, or Community Redevelopment
Area.
■. Satisfies More Than One Project Category: The implementation of a single project
satisfies multiple project types within the "project bank." For example, a project could
`- both enhance traffic capacity /operations and neighborhood traffic management/livability
by providing increased capacity on a major thoroughfare thereby reducing cut - through
traffic in a residential neighborhood.
Projects were assigned a score between 0 and 2 based on their ability to satisfy the evaluation
criteria. The scores were determined as follows:
■ 0 = The project does not meet or has an unfavorable relationship to the criterion.
■ 1 = The project partially meets or has a moderately favorable relationship to the criterion.
■ 2 = The project meets or has a favorable relationship to the criterion.
The scores for the individual evaluation criteria were added together to determine an overall score
for each "project bank" improvement. A project comparison matrix was developed to present the
results of the evaluation of "project bank" improvements and assist in the prioritization of
improvements. This project comparison matrix is presented as Table 1.

"Project Bank" Order of Magnitude Cost Estimates
Preliminary order of magnitude cost. estimates were developed for the "project bank"
improvements and are presented in Table 2. These cost estimates were generally based on the
costs of local projects of similar scale. The purpose of these cost estimates is to assist in the
prioritization of the improvements. As the specific projects are developed and what actually
needs to be 'constructed is specifically determined, more detailed engineering cost estimates
should be prepared to identify the required funds that should be programmed.
"Project Bank" Prioritization
The "project bank" improvements were grouped into four categories based on the evaluation
presented in the project comparison matrix and the preliminary order of magnitude cost estimates.
The projects were initially assigned to one of four priority levels based on the scores obtained in
the project comparison matrix. Projects earning total scores of 10 or 11 points were classified as
Priority Level One Projects; projects earning total scores of 8 or 9 points were classified as
Priority Level Two Projects; projects earning total scores of 6 or 7 points were classified as
Priority Level Three Projects; projects earning total scores of 4 or 5 points were classified as
Priority Level Four Projects. No projects earned a score higher than 11 points or lower than 4
points.
After the initial grouping of projects into priority levels based on the score obtained in the project
evaluation matrix, the preliminary order of magnitude cost estimates were also taken into
consideration. The more costly projects generally scored higher in the project evaluation matrix
UJ
because these larger scale projects tended to satisfy several evaluation criteria, while less costly
projects scored lower in the project evaluation matrix because these smaller scale projects tended
to satisfy less of the evaluation criteria. Therefore, several projects were shifted into a different
priority level to allow some lower cost projects that offer benefits to be implemented while
funding is secured for some of the higher cost projects. Table 3 presents the recommended
prioritization schedule for the "project bank" improvements.

MONITORING PROCESS
An oversight committee comprised of representatives from the following agencies and groups
should monitor implementation of the multimodal transportation plan developed in this study:
■ City of South Miami
L J-
■ Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT)
■ Miami -Dade County Metropolitan Planning Organization (MPO)
■ Miami -Dade Transit (MDT)
■ Miami -Dade Public Works Department
"- Local area stakeholders such as the Red/Sunset Merchants Association
This oversight committee would be responsible for guiding the development of the recommended
master plan improvements through the project development and design process and into
construction. The oversight committee could also assist in the identification of funding sources.
The oversight committee should also serve as a coordinating forum to ensure that projects are
implemented consistent with the vision defined in this study.
An annual report should be prepared documenting the status of the implementation of the projects
identified in this study including a project schedule and funding sources. The prioritization of
projects may need to be adjusted in response to changing needs in the community.
Projects should also be monitored after implementation to gauge their effectiveness in serving the
public's mobility needs. Projects may need to be fine -tuned if they are not accomplishing their
objectives.

CONCLUSION
This study developed a multimodal mobility plan for the area surrounding the South Miami
Metrorail Station including the City's "Hometown District," the "Transit Oriented Development
District," civic uses, an industrial district, residential neighborhoods, and South Miami and Larkin
Hospitals. The product of this study is a multimodal transportation master plan for the
"Hometown" study area.
Based on an analysis of transportation data and land use patterns, needs in the areas of traffic
operations, transit, bicycle /pedestrian movements, neighborhood traffic management, parking,
and redevelopment were identified. Multimodal transportation improvements were then
identified to address mobility deficiencies and encourage the use of mass and non - motorized
transit in the "Hometown" study area. These improvements were developed into a "project bank"
of recommended improvements to satisfy the "Hometown" study area's mobility needs.
Improvements were originally categorized in the "project bank" by type including (1) traffic
capacity /operations enhancements, (2) transit improvements, (3) bicycle improvements, (4)
pedestrian enhancements, (5) neighborhood traffic management/livability, (6) parking
improvements, and (7) land use, development, and redevelopment opportunities. A project
comparison system was then developed to evaluate and prioritize the improvements into a phased
implementation schedule. After an initial grouping of projects based on a primarily qualitative
assessment, preliminary order of magnitude cost estimates were taken into consideration. Several
projects were then shifted into a different priority level to allow some lower cost projects that
offer benefits to be implemented while funding is secured for some of the higher cost projects.
7i The implementation of this study's recommendations should be overseen by a committee
comprised of representatives from local agencies and stakeholders. An annual report should be
prepared documenting the status of the implementation of the projects identified in this study
including °a project schedule and funding sources. Additionally, the phasing of projects should be
adjusted over time in response to changing needs in the community.

Resolution Approving Payment of
Attorneys' Fees and Costs to
Robert D. Hertzberg, P.A.
Subject: Approval of payment of $980.00 to Robert D. Hertzberg, P.A., for services
rendered in connection with the representation of the city and city attorney on the motion for
attorney's fees filed by the NRA in the matter ofNational Rifle Assn. ofAmerica, Inc., et al.
v. City of South Miami, Case No. 00- 17530 -CA -09 (Fla. 1 lth Cir. Ct. 2000).
Discussion: The NRA filed a motion for attorney's fees and costs in the approximate
amount of $224,000 following the reversal of the favorable trial court order by the Florida
Third District Court of Appeal. With the city commission's consent, the city attorney
retained outside counsel to defend against the motion. The first invoice is presented for
payment. I recommend approval of the invoice for payment as the amount of fees and costs
are reasonable and necessary.
The hearing on entitlement to attorney's fees is scheduled for Wednesday, July 31, 2002. If
the trial judge determines that the NRA is entitled to fees, a second hearing will be scheduled
regarding the amount of fees to be awarded. A further hearing will be scheduled on the
claimed costs. Although we cannot predict with certainty the outcome of the hearing on
entitlement to attorney's fees, we believe that the present law and the particular facts strongly
favor the city.
Recommendation: Approve the resolution authorizing payment of the invoice.
