HI S T O RY:
B ulb-outs or curb-extensions are geometric treatments that extend the sidewalk or curb-line into
the parking lane to reduce the effective street width. C urb-extensions significantly improve
pedestrian crossings by reducing pedestrian crossing distance, visually and physically narrowing
the roadway, improving the ability of pedestrian and motorists to see each other, and in many
cases allow the installation of compliant curb ramps (A D A ramps). I n addition, curb-extensions
increase parking compliance by preventing motorists f rom parking in or too close to the crosswalk
and blocking ramps.
T he 40th Street corridor was reconstructed as part of the Central B ayshore North Neighborhood
I mprovement P roject. As part of the construction, curb-extensions were added to all intersections
along the corridor. Prior to the Neighborhood I mprovement P roject, 40th S treet had 11-13 feet
lane width, 11-14 f eet parking lane width, 2 f eet curb and gutter, 4 feet planting strip, and 5 feet
sidewalks. Under the pre-Neighborhood I mprovement P roject conditions, the average pedestrian
crossing distance was 54 feet. Currently, the corridor has 11-11.5 f eet lane width, 8 feet parking
lane width, 2 f eet curb and gutter, 8 feet curb-extensions at intersections (same width as parking
lane), 14 feet planting strip (south side of the roadway), and 5 feet sidewalks. Under the post-
Neighborhood I mprovement Project conditions, the average pedestrian crossing distance was
33 feet. I t is worth highlighting that a 10 f eet planting strip was added to the north side of the
roadway the block between P rairie Avenue and C hase Avenue. T he improvements implemented
as a result of the Neighborhood I mprovement project are in line with pedestrian improvements
identified in the C ity of Miami B each S treet Design Guideline.
S taff has communicated with Rabbi B ixon to understand the concerns related to roadway
geometrics creating additional congestion along 40th S treet.

A n A utonomous Vehicle (AV ) is any vehicle equipped with advanced sensors (radar, L I D A R,
cameras, etc.) and computing abilities to perceive its surroundings and activate steering, braking,
and acceleration without operator input. U.S . D epartment of Transportation's National Highway
Traf f ic Safety A dministration (NHT S A) has def ined vehicle automation into f ive levels; the highest
automation level is F ull Self -Driving Automation. T he vehicle is designed to perf orm all safety-
critical driving functions and monitor roadway conditions for an entire trip. Such a design
anticipates that the driver will provide destination or navigation input, but is not expected to be
available for control at any time during the trip. T his includes both occupied and unoccupied
vehicles.

At the January 11, 2017 City Commission meeting, the Commission referred a discussion item on
lowering speed limits on residential neighborhoods to the Neighborhood/Community Affairs Committee
(N C AC). At the January 27, 2017 NCAC meeting, the Committee recommended staff reach out to
other cities and develop an approach to evaluate the potential lowering of speed limits in residential
areas.
ANALY S IS :
S inc e the NC AC meeting, s taff has c o mmunicated with the C ity of C o ral G ab les regarding their o n-going
effo rts to lo wer s peed limits on res id ential s treets thro ughout their city to 25 miles per ho ur (mph). In July
2015, the C ity o f C oral G ables s hared a traffic stud y metho d o lo gy for app ro val b y the Miami-Dad e C ounty
Dep artment of Transportation and P ublic Wo rks (DT P W ). T he p ro p o s ed metho d o lo gy includ ed d ata
collec tion at 25 loc atio ns along res id ential streets thro ughout the C ity. T he methodology was ap p ro ved b y
DT P W and the s peed data revealed that the average 85th P erc entile S p eed fo r the s elected lo cations was
27.6 mph. It is wo rth no ting that the C ity of C oral G ables implemented a traffic calming p ro gram several
years ago cons is ting essentially o f mini-roundabouts at many inters ections thro ughout the C ity intend ed to
red uc e c ut-through traffic and s p eed s in the res idential areas of the C ity.
Acc o rd ing to the F lo rid a Department o f Transportatio n (F DO T ) guid elines for S peed Zo ning for Highways ,
R o ad s , and S treets in F lo rid a, pub lis hed in 2010, the s p eed limit s hould not d iffer from the 85th P erc entile
S p eed by mo re than 3 mph and by less than 8 mph. Ho wever, these guid elines s pec ify that fo r speed limits of
4 to 8 mp h lo wer than the 85th P erc entile, a s upplemental inves tigation mus t be c o nduc ted. T herefo re, to
avoid a time c ons uming analys is , F DO T and the C o unty have ad o p ted a guid eline that p res cribes that the
85th P ercentile S peed s hall be within a range o f 3 mph ab o ve or b elo w the desired speed limit. F or examp le,
if the desired speed limit is 25 mp h, the average 85th P erc entile s p eed sho uld range between 22 mph and 28
mp h. G iven the average 85th P erc entile S p eed o f 27.6 mph fo r the 25 loc ations evaluated in the C ity of C oral
G ables, in July 2016, DT P W approved the reques t by the C ity o f C oral G ab les to red uc e the speed limit o n
all lo cal ro adways fro m 30 mp h to 25 mph. It is worth highlighting that the approval exc luded Arterial
R o ad ways , C ollec to r R oad ways , and C o unty R o ad ways . Traffic engineering studies spec ific to thes e
classific ations o f roadways is required by F DO T and Miami-Dade C o unty.
Page 15 of 90
As part of the approval p ro c es s fo r lower speed limits o n loc al roadways, the C ity of C o ral G ab les and
Miami-Dade C ounty have executed an interlo c al agreement for ins tallatio n and maintenance of all new s peed
limit s igns thro ugho ut the C ity. T he C ity o f C oral G ab les is also in the proc es s o f adopting an ordinanc e to
imp lement and enforc e the new s peed limit regulatio ns . T he analys is and ap p ro val pro c es s between the C ity
o f C oral G ab les and Miami-Dad e C ounty required approximately one year.
Transportatio n Department s taff has recently cond uc ted traffic c alming s tudies in the C entral Bays hore and
Nautilus neighb o rhoods. T he Nautilus Traffic S tudy in particular conclud ed that the average 85th P erc entile
S p eed warranted a neighb o rhood-wide lowering of the s p eed limit to 25 mp h; ho wever, C entral Bayshore
was found to no t warrant a lower s p eed limit. S taff c an c o ntinue to co llec t data in other neighborhoods
thro ughout the C ity. F o r thos e neighb o rhood s where the data d o es not warrant lo wering o f the s p eed limit,
the C ity could addres s s peeding and cut-through traffic is s ues thro ugh design o f traffic calming projec ts and
evaluate after the traffic c alming imp ro vements have b een implemented to determine if lowering o f s peed
limits is warranted at that time.

C o mmis s io ner Aleman p laced o n the F ebruary 8, 2017 C ommission Meeting’s R egular Agenda, a d is cus s ion
item to recons ider the C ity’s use o f bond ed aggregate for tree p its. T he item was referred to the F ebruary 17,
2017 Neighbo rhood/C o mmunity Affairs C ommittee Meeting fo r disc ussion.
T he C ity o f Miami Beac h has had s everal types o f tree pit treatments in the p as t. T hey includ e c o nc rete
p anels, c o nc rete c o llars , metal tree grates , and bond ed aggregate.
C o nc rete p anels are imp ervious , which limit the amount of water that the tree’s root zone will rec eive, they d o
not aid in s torm water runo ff, limit the amount o f gas eo us exc hange in the ro o t s ys tem, and d amage a tree’s
trunk as it gro ws . C oncrete c o llars are attrac tive when initially ins talled, but they break easily and shift o ver
time as the tree gro ws , whic h creates trip p ing hazards .
Metal tree grates are mo s t effective when ins talled at the same time as new tree ins tallatio ns and when p roper
ro o ting s p ace and planting s o il is available. T he grates must be installed on a level s up p o rt s tructure, and the
tree o p ening has to be large enough to ac commo d ate tree trunk gro wth, but no t s o large that a p ed es trian
could get a fo o t c aught in the opening, o r that it c reates a cavity that c o llects tras h. In many cases when the
grate’s sup p ort s truc ture shifts s lightly (due to the s urro und ing c o nc rete s ettling o ver time,) or if the tree roots
grow large enough to protrude, it c auses the grate’s panels to up heave, creating a trip hazard . If the metal o f
the grate is not routinely cut away from the trunk opening it c o uld res ult in s evere tree trunk damage. Due to
the amount of damage c aused to trees b y metal tree grates they have bec ome inc reas ingly unp o p ular in the
indus try. Als o, if the tree does grow to o large fo r the tree grate and it has to b e removed , the lefto ver metal

E nsure Comprehensive Mobility Addressing A ll Modes T hroughout T he C ity
HI S T O RY:
T he Venetian C auseway is the primary route f or bicyclists and pedestrians between the C ity of
Miami Beach and the C ity of Miami. I n 2015, pedestrian and bicycle counts showed that 166
pedestrians and 112 bicyclists used the causeway between 6:00 A M and 9:30 A M and 210
pedestrians and 156 bicyclists used the causeway between 5:00 P M and 6:30 P M.
Over the past years, staff has observed vehicular traffic increases on the Venetian Causeway.
T hese increases may be attributed to the increasing demand and congestion on other primary
causeways (MacA rthur C auseway and J ulia Tuttle C auseway). However, the F lorida D epartment
of Transportation traf f ic count station on the bridge does not have any data beyond 2015 due to
prior and ongoing construction projects along this causeway that have disrupted travel patterns
over the last couple of years.
ANALY S IS :
Currently, the section between E ast Rivo A lto D rive and West San Marino D rive consists of six
(6) crosswalks across Venetian Way. T hree (3) of these crosswalks are signalized (E ast Rivo
A lto D rive, E ast D iL ido D rive, and E ast S an Marino Drive). T he remaining 3 crosswalks are not
enhanced crosswalks and are only equipped with static pedestrian crossing signs. I n F ebruary
2017, the City received an email from the Venetian I slands Homeowners Association reporting
saf ety issues with the crosswalks. S taff has conducted a review of these crosswalks and found
Page 23 of 90
no issues with the signalized crosswalks; however, given the traffic in the area and the width of the
roadway cross-section, f urther enhancements to the unsignalized crosswalks may be warranted.
Currently, the C ity has installed portable “Yield To P edestrian” signs on a pedestal in the middle
of the 3 unsignalized crosswalks. S taff will also be conducting night-time observations of the area
to determine if the lighting is appropriate at the crosswalk locations. I n addition, with the current
construction on the East Venetian B ascule B ridge and along Dade B oulevard, the Venetian
Causeway is experiencing significant congestion due to lane closures.
C O NC L US IO N:
T he Venetian C auseway is a roadway facility under the jurisdiction of Miami-Dade County. A ll
traffic engineering modifications, including crosswalks, must be evaluated and approved by the
Miami-Dade C ounty Department of Transportation and P ublic Works (D T P W ) prior to
implementation. Once staf f gathers the results of the pending night-time observations, a formal
holistic request can be sent to D T P W to review the existing conditions and evaluate the potential
f or crosswalk enhancements at the unsignalized crosswalk locations along the causeway.
T his item is being presented to the NC A C f or discussion and further direction.

HI S T O RY:
A drone is an unmanned aircraf t system (UA S), more f ormally known as unmanned aerial
vehicles or unmanned aircraf t systems. Drones operate like a flying robot. T hey may be remote
controlled or can f ly autonomously. I f they fly autonomously, they fly through software-controlled
f light plans working in conjunction with onboard sensors and G P S .
ANALY S IS :
Commercial uses for drones are being explored. S ome companies use drones to deliver items
bought online to people’s doorsteps. A new idea is to use drones as a passenger taxi.
P assenger D rones - Nevada
Chinese drone manufacturer E Hang is working to make passenger drones a reality. At the
J anuary 2016 C onsumer Electronics Show in L as I n Nevada, the E Hang 184 autonomous drone
capable of carrying human passengers was introduced.
Testing of the E Hang 184 drone is being planned. T his would be the first test of its kind in the
United S tates. Testing is expected to begin at the Nevada FA A UA S Test Site, though no
specif ic dates have been announced. Note that this is experimental, only, to be conducted at a
research facility located in the Nevada D esert, in a sparsely populated ex-urban area.
P rior to planning the testing, the E Hang 184 received approval to test the drone taxi from the
Nevada I nstitute for A utonomous Systems (NI A S) and the Governor’s O f f ice of E conomic
Development (G O E D).
T he E Hang 184 drone is the size of a small car, although it weighs much less. I t is over 4ft (1.2m)
tall, weighs 440lb (200kg) and has eight propellers. I t can carry a single passenger weighing up
to 220 pounds and a small suitcase for 23 minutes at 60mph (96km/h). P assengers enter their
Page 25 of 90
destination on a 12in (30cm) touchscreen in front of their seat, and the drone's on-board
computer works out the best route. T here is no passenger over-ride function, meaning the
user cannot take control in an emergency. I n the event of a malfunction, the drone would land in
the nearest available area.
P assenger D rones – D ubai, United A rab E mirates (UA E )
I n addition to Nevada, city-state of Dubai, in the United A rab E mirates (UA E ), is preparing to
launch E Hang 184 as an autonomous aerial taxi in J uly 2017. Riders can ask for the f lying taxi to
pick them up from designated zones using the company’s smartphone app. W hen the drone
arrives, the passenger straps into the race-car-style seat, selects one of the pre-programmed
destinations on the touchscreen, and is transported as a passive passenger, i.e., with no ability to
control the drone’s operation. To ensure the passenger’s safety, all flights are monitored remotely
by a control room on the ground.
F ederal Aviation A dministration (FA A ) S tatus
On J une 21, 2016, the FA A Docket No.: FA A-2015-0150 issued extensive guidance on the
usage of drones. T his docket details applicable drone safety rules:
• No f lights beyond line-of -sight
• No f lights over people
• No f lights at night
• No f lights above 400 feet in the air
• No f lights f aster than 100 miles an hour
• No drones heavier than 55 pounds
• No unregistered drones
• Drones may be prohibited in some locations, such as Washington, D.C.
B usinesses, however, may get special waivers to skip some of the restrictions if they can prove
they can do so safely. FA A has approved waiver applications, with most seeking permission to
operate at night.
F lorida Department of Transportation (F D O T ) I nitiatives
F D O T has issued guidance on drones. F D O T C entral Office researchers are evaluating how
best to address passenger drones.
F lorida S tatutes very specif ically spell out what drones or UA S can and cannot be used f or.
A ccording to F.S . 934.50(3), UA S are prohibited f or the following purposes:
• Use of UA S by law enf orcement to gather evidence/ inf ormation (934.50(3)(a), F.S .)
• Use of UA S to conduct surveillance of privately owned real property or the owner (934.50(3)(b),
F.S .)
A dditionally, under Chapter 934.50(4), F.S ., UA S are allowed for the f ollowing uses:
• To counter a terrorist threat (934.50(4)(a), F.S .)
• L aw enforcement activity with a warrant (934.50(4)(b), F.S .)
• For law enforcement in particular circumstances when swif t action is needed (934.50(4)(c),
F.S .)
• A business or profession may use a drone to conduct reasonable tasks within the scope of that
business’ license (934.50(4)(d), F.S .)
Page 26 of 90
• For property appraisals (934.50(4)(e), F.S .)
• To capture images of electric, water, or natural gas facilities (934.50(4)(f ), F.S .)
• For aerial mapping in compliance with FA A regulations (934.50(4)(g), F.S.)
• To deliver cargo in compliance with FA A regulations (934.50(4)(h), F.S .)
• To capture images necessary for the safe operation or navigation of a UA S , when used for
purposes allowed under f ederal and Florida law (934.50(4)(i), F.S .)
C O NC L US IO N:
Given the exploratory nature of the technology and the absence of F ederal and S tate enabling
legislation, no further steps by the City are recommended at this time. A dditionally, the FA A does
not allow operation of drones over people per FA A D ocket No.: FA A -2015-0150, which may
pose challenges for our densely populated City.
A ccordingly, the Transportation D epartment will continue to monitor development of the
technology and will provide periodic updates, as requested.
T he above information is being presented to the NC A C for discussion and input.

HI S T O RY:
At the March 1, 2017 C o mmis s io n meeting this item was d ual referred to the Neighborho o d /C ommunity
Affairs C ommittee and the F inance & C itywid e P rojec ts C o mmittee. In res p o ns e to the C ommission’s
d irectio n, and in o rd er to provid e both C o mmittees with an update on progres s , this memo randum
s ummarizes the key is s ues , activities to date, future c hallenges and ap p ro ximate c os ts . W hile the title of the
referral from the C o mmis s io n inc ludes the ins tallation of Emergency Activation Bo xes, implementatio n of
s uc h b o xes will require a completely d ifferent s urvey and p lan, and wo rk has therefore not yet commenced
o n this aspec t.
ANALY S IS :
T he C ity o f Miami Beac h currently has a c amera s ys tem c o nsisting of 42 c ameras . T hey are a highly
effective tool in preventing, res p o nding to, and inves tigating crimes. T hey are invaluab le in provid ing an
o verview o f traffic flow and also the monitoring of crowd s during peak perio d s and s pec ial events e.g.
Memorial Day Weekend . T he Miami Beach P o lic e Dep artment (MBP D) c ond uc ted s everal s ite s urveys to
es tablish the exis ting infrastruc ture pertinent to the camera req uirements, and to id entify ad d itional
req uirements to es tab lis h the wid er c amera c overage req uired i.e. ‘cameras on every corner of the MXE
Dis tric t and on the b eachwalk’.
As a res ult of the s ite s urveys a preliminary plan was drawn up. Attachment ‘A’ is a complete map o f the
MXE Dis tric t with exis ting and p ro p o s ed c ameras . T he p lan is broken d own into three areas as s hown
b elo w. Each o f thes e has d ifferent c hallenges in terms of the power sup p ly and exis ting infrastruc ture.
Ocean D rive / Lummus Park / Seawall (Attachment ‘B’)
T he MBP D is c urrently in the p ro cess of revamping the O cean Drive d ep lo yment o f c ameras – this is
Page 28 of 90
P has e 2 o f the initial c amera deployment. T he o ld er c ameras are b eing rep laced with newer c ameras
whic h will provid e more extensive views and a greater c o verage area. T he older cameras will not be
withd rawn fro m s ervice b ut will be reloc ated to o ther loc ations that req uire cameras fo r traffic flo w
c o verage.
T he p oles alo ng the eas t s id e of O c ean Drive already have receptacles on them fo r ho lid ay lighting –
this p rovid es power for cameras. However, the res t o f the p o les around Lummus P ark and the S eawall
area d o not have this type o f power infras truc ture built in. T he p lan therefore inc ludes this .
T he P ub lic Works Department c urrently has p lans to upgrad e all o f the blac k d ecorative p o les within
Lummus P ark for new poles which will have s ome ad d itional lighting c ontrol features . T he diagram o f
the new d evic es is inc luded as Attachment ‘C ’. A c o s t as s es s ment will b e done to add p o wer
rec ep tac les and the provis io n o f c o ntinuous power - thes e are es s ential to enable the operatio n o f the
proposed c ameras . T here are currently two white test poles at 9th S treet and Lummus P ark which have
proved to b e highly effective. T here is als o a b ackhaul point at the same loc ation whic h the P arks
Department and P ublic Wo rks Dep artment are working with F lorida P ower and Light (F P L) to get
power res tored to.
Collins Avenue (Attachment ‘D’)
T he F lorida Dep artment o f Trans p o rtation (F DO T ) has changed mo s t o f the p o les from 6th S treet to
15th S treet, and almo s t all of them have c o ntinuo us p o wer. T he P ublic Wo rks Dep artment will b e
assisting with the poles o n 5th S treet and 16th S treet north. Mo s t o f the inters ec tions in the relevant
sec tion o f C ollins Avenue d o no t however have multip le street lights and , as s uch, o nly one c amera c an
be used at eac h inters ectio n as opposed to the target o f two.
Washington Avenue (Attachment ‘E’)
T his is p ro b ab ly b y far the mo s t comp lex c orridor to d ep lo y cameras to . Every pole fro m 5th S treet to
16th S treet is a dec retive pole, does no t have c o ntinuo us p o wer, the p o wer voltage is 480v and they do
no t have rec eptacles. T his will therefore req uire a great d eal of work b y the P ub lic Works Department.
S pun aluminum poles are loc ated in the c enter med ian and act as acc es s p o ints to bac khaul the data.
However, the center med ian is no t a good lo catio n fo r the cameras as the median is s urrounded b y palm
trees and the poles are primarily 50-100 feet away from the intersec tio ns . T he height of the c urrent
dec o rative p o les on the s id ewalks was als o no ted as an issue of conc ern as they are o nly as tall as
Miami-Dade trans it b uses, and sho rter than the d o uble d ecker to ur bus es and s emi-tracto r trailers – this
wo uld c reate intermittent disrup tion to the data s ignal. T his is s ue is ad d res s ed in the p reliminary design
of the p ro jec t but a moc k test sho uld be c ond uc ted p rio r to full sc ale d ep lo yment.
Each c amera c os ts between $5,000 and $6,000. T his amo unt inc ludes not jus t the camera, but als o required
anc illaries suc h as antennas, brac kets , s o ftware lic ens es and other s imilar items . However, the hard ware and
b as ic installatio n are the leas t expens ive p art of the proc es s . It is the infras truc ture required to utilize the
cameras, and to trans fer the d ata p ro vided by them, that represents the bigges t c hallenge in terms of cost and
exec utio n. O f p artic ular note is that, as the sys tem exp ands, so d o es the requirement for the transfer o f data.
T he transfer of d ata o ver rad io waves will effec tively multip ly b y a fac tor of 10 - the c urrent s ystem will
s imp ly not be able to cope with the increase. In additio n, and as d o cumented in the area b reakdown ab o ve,
each area has different req uirements d ue to the exis ting infras tructure in them. It is therefore not possible to
give an ac curate es timate o f to tal costs at the c urrent time. T he ad d itional 62 c ameras will c o s t ap p ro ximately
$350,000. T he s upporting infras tructure cost will range from ap p ro ximately $200,000 (expans io n o f the
current radio wave s ys tem) to $6 millio n (ins tallatio n o f fiber o p tic c ab les ). T he latter optio n would be b y far
Page 29 of 90
b es t in terms of s ervic e but is sub s tantially mo re. T he cost of the exp ansio n in its totality will therefore range
fro m $550,000 to over $6 millio n.
C O NC L US IO N:
T he expans io n of the camera sys tem in the MXE Dis tric t will s ignificantly enhanc e the s ecurity and s afety of
the area, ho wever, this enhancement will come at a s ubstantial financ ial c o s t.

ANALY S IS :
T he F lorida Department of Transportation (F D O T ) is in the late design stages of the
reconstruction of A lton R oad (S R 907) f rom Michigan Avenue to 63rd S treet. Construction is
expected to begin in 2020. D uring the design of the project, the City had requested that F D O T
save all of the existing canopy trees along this roadway. The City had also requested that F D O T
raise the roadway to a minimum crown elevation of 3.7 NAV D in accordance with the City
Commission amended S torm Water Management Master P lan.
F D O T conducted an inventory of the existing trees. D uring design it was determined that many
trees will be significantly impacted by the new roadway elevation. F D O T staf f is requesting
direction from the C ity to proceed in one of two directions:
1) S ave all of the existing trees to the maximum extent practicable which may limit the extent of
increasing the roadway elevation during the reconstruction; or
2) Allow many of the existing mature trees to be removed. Due to the overhead power lines,
replacement trees of similar type may not be allowed to be replanted in the location of where the
mature large canopy trees existed.
Regardless, the D epartment of P ublic Works will work with F D O T to save as many trees as
possible during the process but in the event that they must make a choice, F D O T has requested
some direction on this matter.
To gauge the residents’ opinion with regards to this project, the attached project inf ormation has
been distributed door-to-door by the City to inform residents and address any of their issues or
questions. I n addition, there will be a public meeting on Tuesday, May 23, 2017 at 6 pm at the
Miami Beach G olf Club at 2301 Alton R oad to discuss the project and take questions f rom the
public. Following the meeting, there will be a survey conducted. The survey results and opinions
expressed will be presented at a future C ommittee meeting.

Project Overview
The Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) is
developing the design for two roadway and drainage
reconstruction projects along State Road (SR) 907/Alton

Timeline and Estimated Cost
These projects are currently anticipated to begin construction
in the fall of 2020. The combined estimated construction cost is
approximately $60 million.
Please note this schedule may change due to unforeseen
circumstances.
Additional information on the FDOT Alton Road projects may be
found at:

Sea Level Rise Mitigation
and Landscaping
The City and FDOT are preparing for sea level rise through
elevating roads and implementing storm water pumps.
Mitigating sea level rise includes the need to harmonize the new
roadway to private properties and will impact the existing tree
canopy.
It has been determined that many of the existing trees may
not survive the roadway reconstruction at a higher elevation
because their root systems and trunks would be covered.
Additionally, many of the existing trees are in failing health or in
conflict with the power lines and may have to be removed.
A landscaping plan is being evaluated along the Alton Road
corridor that would remove the existing canopy and replace
it with a mix of smaller native trees and palms. Additional
information on the landscaping impacts may be found on the
opposite side of this sheet.
Public Meeting
Please join City staff to further discuss the FDOT Alton Road
projects.

At the March 22, 2017, C ity C o mmis s io n meeting, the C ommission referred an item to the
Neighb o rhood s /C ommunity Affairs C o mmittee (NC AC ), to hold a disc ussion regarding a temporary art
installation, “Art in Motio n” b y lighting d es igner Jim Mo rris o n.
ANALY S IS :
"Art in Motion" is a c o mmunity oriented p rojec t who s e sole p urpose is to p ro mo te the artwork of Miami
Beac h S enior High S cho o l students in collab o ration with Jim Morrison P ro d uc tions . T he installation is
p ro p o s ed to b e in plac e during Art Basel 2017, and through the holidays .
T he key feature o f the installation will be in the fo rm of a high-d efinitio n d is play plac ed on the Mac Arthur
C auseway. T he unit includ es front and rear d is p lays , roughly 5' x 9' each, allowing for eas t and west bound
viewing. Vis ual artwork will includ e full c o lor s till images o f student artwork, ac c o mp anied b y a
complimentary audio trac k. T he d is p lay can b e dimmed at night sho uld it be d etermined preferable o r
nec es s ary. Mo rris o n has s tated that initial dis c us s ions with F DO T ind icate the temp o rary installation wo uld
b e allowed , provid ed all visual c o ntent is p reviewed as part of their approval p ro ces s . However, acc o rd ing to
p as t experienc e, s taff is no t aware o f F DO T ap p ro ving mo ving o r flashing imagery on the right-of-way due
to s afety c o nc erns of mo ving vehicles.
As stated in Mo rris ’ proposal, Daktronics, the dis play manufac turer wo uld loan the d is p lay at no charge.
Ho wever, it was p ro p o s ed by Jim Morrison P ro d uc tions that the C ity of Miami Beach, in cooperatio n with
Art in Motion G ro up, wo uld as s ume all other financ ial c o s ts as s o ciated with the projec t. T his would include,
b ut is not limited to, c o s ts as s o ciated with trans p o rtatio n o f the d is p lay s ign, engineering (wind lo ad ) and
architec tural req uirements, elec tric al/generator req uirements, sec uring the dis p lay s ign with proper fo o tings ,
hiring a general c o ntracto r, necessary lane c los ures during ins tallatio n/d e-ins tallatio n, permitting and curato rial
Page 49 of 90
s electio n p roc es s c o s ts , as ap p licable. To staff kno wledge, this proposal has no t b een inc luded in the
b udgeting p roc es s for F Y 17-8 and a funding s ource would need to be id entified.
In regard s to c uratorial content, although the Mac Arthur C aus eway is not lo c ated in the o fficial “Art Bas el
Zo ne”, it does s erve as the gateway to the C ity of Miami Beac h. S taff rec ommend s that, s hould the p ro pos al
mo ve fo rward , it is done so with the approval and collaboratio n o f Art Bas el to ens ure the wo rk is in line with
the artis tic merit o f other p ublic art ins tallations produced d uring that time, inc luding the large sc ale temp orary

ANALY S IS :
In January 2017, the Murano at P orto fino co mmenc ed with the cons truction of lands c ap ing, irrigatio n and
related imp rovements over and ac ro s s c ertain areas that are all loc ated within the Eas ement Areas, and whic h,
amo ng other enhancements, includ es ins tallation of a hed ge and/o r other plant material alo ng c ertain gras s y
p o rtions of the Eas ement Areas , b etween the gras s y areas lo cated within the Eas ement Areas , and the paved
areas loc ated within the Easement Areas, pic tures o f whic h are attac hed hereto as Exhibit “B” (“Land s cap ing
Enhanc ements ”). However, even though the C ity, acting in its regulato ry cap ac ity via the P lanning
Dep artment, is s ued a permit for the ins tallation of the land s caping, at no time has the Murano at P orto fino
s o ught or o btained the C ity’s cons ent or acc eptanc e in or to the Land s caping Enhancements, as req uired by
the exp res s terms o f the Baywalk Easement and the S S DI S o uth Eas ement.
Acc o rd ingly, the C ity, in its proprietary capac ity as G rantee under the Baywalk Eas ement and the S S DI
S o uth Eas ement, no tified Murano at P o rtofino o n F eb ruary 23, 2017 that, p urs uant to S ec tion 7(C )(ii) of the
Baywalk Easement and S ec tion 5 of the S S DI S o uth Eas ement, the C ity does not ac cept, and d o es no t
cons ent to , the Lands c ap ing Enhancements that Murano at P orto fino had undertaken within the Easement
Areas . As part thereo f, the C ity s p ecific ally objec ted to the Murano at P ortofino ’s ins tallatio n o f the
hedge/plant material within the Easement Areas , as the hedge/plant material c reates a physic al barrier b etween
the gras s y p ortio ns o f the Eas ement Areas , and the p aved p o rtions of the Eas ement Areas , and the
Landsc ap ing Enhanc ements thereby restrict, impede, or o therwise hind er and unreas o nably interfere with the
p ed es trian us e o f the Eas ement Areas as contemp lated b y the Baywalk Eas ement and S S DI S o uth
Eas ement.
Murano at P orto fino as s erts they installed the hed ges to d eter p et o wners fro m allowing their d o gs to
d efecate on the gras s y areas . Acc o rd ing to the Murano at P orto fino, the number o f pets on the Baywalk has
inc reas ed subs tantially o ver the years and mo s t p et o wners do not pic k up after their p ets. T he C ity believes
this problem may be ad d res s ed with additional C ode enforc ement and requiring the Marina to p erfo rm
regular c leaning of thes e gras s y areas as required under their agreement.
As the C ity c annot ac cept the Landsc ap ing Enhanc ements that serve to res tric t the pub lic’s right o f
p ed es trian us e o f the Eas ement Areas , inc lud ing the grassy areas lo cated therein, the C ity demand ed that the

A ccording to F D O T, the objective of this corridor planning study is to evaluate the existing and
f uture conditions, def iciencies, identify needs and evaluate short and long term transportation
improvement concepts. T he study will include the evaluation of study interchanges, interchange
inf luence areas, and ramp junctions.
T he scope f or the planning study does include work on the shared use path, “T he conceptual
improvement plan will include the evaluation of potential bicycle and pedestrian facilities along the
corridor from S R 907/Alton Road to S R 5/US 1/Biscayne B oulevard, specifically addressing the
existing share-use path on the eastern section of the corridor.”

COMMITTEE MEMORANDUM
TO: Neighborhood / Community Affairs Committee
FROM: Jimmy L. Morales, City Manager
DATE: May 19, 2017
SUBJECT: DISCUSSION REGARDING THE BAYWALK AS WELL AS THE OPENING, BUILDING
AND FUNDING OF THE BAYWALK BEHIND THE SOUTH BAY CLUB
BACKGROUND
At the City Commission meeting on April 26, 2017, the Mayor and City Commission referred a
discussion to the Neighborhood / Community Affairs Committee and the Finance and Citywide
Projects Committee regarding the Baywalk, as well as the opening, building and funding of the
baywalk behind the South Bay Club.
ANALYSIS
The Baywalk is a system of public pedestrian pathways along the Biscayne Bay shoreline
designed to promote alternative transportation. Once completed, it will provide a continuous
path running north/south on the rear of the properties along West Avenue from 5th Street to
Lincoln Road, linking residential and commercial areas, public street-end parks, and other
existing pedestrian and bicycle facilities such as the beachwalk. The Baywalk system is part of
the larger Atlantic Greenway Network Master Plan, as well as a component of the Blueways
Master Plan and the Bicycle Pedestrian Master Plan.
Attachment A is a map showing the current status of the Baywalk. At this time, the following
portions of the Baywalk have been completed through grant-funded projects, as part of public
construction project, or by the upland properties in accordance with a land use board order:
• Bentley Bay Condominium (520 – 540 West Avenue; DRB File 9802)
An upland baywalk has been constructed and is publicly accessible, connecting to The
Floridian baywalk to its north.
• The Floridian Condominium (650 West Avenue; DRB File 5517)
An upland baywalk has been constructed and is publicly accessible, connecting to the
Bentley Bay baywalk to its south and ending at the northern property line where it meets
the South Bay Club Condominium.
• Southgate Tower Apartments (900 West Avenue; DRB File 22718)
An upland baywalk has been constructed, but has not been made publicly accessible by
the property owner at this time. This is due, primarily, to a condition in the Final Order for
DRB 22718 that does not require public access until an accessible baywalk at the South
Bay Club property to the south has been connected and is operational. At the April 26
City Commission meeting, the property advised they will not allow public access to the
Page 79 of 90
baywalk until the South Bay Club baywalk is completed. Consequently, the City
Commission denied the property’s request for $195,000 as reimbursement for the fence
associated with the baywalk.
• West Terminus of 10 th Street
An upland baywalk has been constructed using Florida Inland Naviation District grant
funding and is publicly accessible. However, it does not currently connect to the property
to its north. There is a physical connection to the property to the south (Southgate
Towers), but the owner of this property has not made the connection accessible.
• The Waverly Condominium (1330 West Avenue; DRB File 9024)
An upland baywalk has been constructed and is publicly accessible, connecting to the
14 th Street street-end baywalk to its north.
• West Terminus of 14 th Street
An upland baywalk and street-end park have been constructed and are publicly
accessible, connecting to The Waverly and The Flamingo baywalks to its north and
south.
• The Flamingo Condominiums (1500 Bay Road; DRB File 9191)
An upland baywalk has been constructed and is publicly accessible, connecting to the
14 th Street and Mae Capri baywalks to its north and south.
• Mae Capri Condominium (1445 16 th Street and 1491 Lincoln Terrace; DRB File 17716)
An upland baywalk has been constructed and is publicly accessible, connecting to The
Flamingo baywalk to its south and ending at the northern property line where it meets
the Lincoln Bay Towers Condominium.
The following segments have not yet been constructed, but are required to be constructed in
accordance with a land use board order:
• South Bay Club Condominium (800 West Avenue; DRB File 22960)
Pursuant to the Final Order for DRB 22960, the owner of the property has entered into
an agreement to permit the design, permitting, construction and public access for a
baywalk. The City is required to perform and subsidize the cost for its design, permitting
and construction. Staff has evaluated the feasibility of a baywalk in this location and has
concluded that it must be constructed overwater, which will require permits from the
Florida Department of Environmental Protection (FDEP) and the U.S. Army Corps of
Engineers. Design, permitting and construction are estimated to cost $3.34 million. Staff
has submitted a FY2017/18 capital budget funding request for $240,000 to cover the
design and permitting. Construction is estimated to cost $2.8 million and will be
requested in FY2020/21 or sooner, depending on how quickly the City can obtain
permits for the overwater design.
• Mondrian Hotel/Mirador Condominiums (1000-1200 West Avenue; DRB File 20181)
Pursuant to the Final Order for DRB 20181, an overwater public baywalk has been
proferred, designed and made part of the permit plans for the Mondian Hotel project. As
a condition of this approval, the applicant posted $800,000 in escrowed funds to be held
by a third party pursuant to an escrow agreement, in order to ensure the construction of
the baywalk. As a condition of the March 6, 2012, DRB modification, $350,000 of the
Page 80 of 90
$800,000 in escrowed funds was released, leaving $450,000 remaining in escrowed
funds. According to the property’s last update, they have submitted an FDEP permit
application and a City building permit application. However, copies of these applications
have not been provided to staff.
• Monad Terrace (1300 West Avenue; DRB File 23249)
Pursuant to the Final Order for DRB 23249, the developer of the Monad Terrace
property has voluntarily offered to design, permit, and construct a baywalk, connecting to
The Waverly to its north.
The following segments have not yet been completed and do not have a land use board order
requirement for their construction:
• Bayview Terrace Condominium (1228 West Avenue; PB File 1879)
The property owner has granted riparian rights for a future baywalk. Staff has evaluated
the feasibility of a baywalk in this location and has concluded that it must be constructed
overwater. Design, permitting and construction for this segment are estimated to cost $1
million, which is currently unfunded.
• Bay Garden Manor Condominium (1250 West Avenue)
Staff has evaluated the feasibility of a baywalk in this location and has concluded that
approximately 100 linear feet can be constructed on land, with the remaining portion to
be constructed overwater. Design, permitting and construction for this segment are
estimated to cost $1 million, which is currently unfunded.
• Lincoln Bay Towers Condominium (1450 Lincoln Road; DRB File 23218)
The property owner has granted riparian rights for a future baywalk. Staff has evaluated
the feasibility of a baywalk in this location and has concluded that it must be constructed
overwater. A preliminary design that includes this segment and the Lincoln Road
segment was included the Design Criteria Package for the West Avenue Phase II
project. Both segments will be designed, permitted and constructed as part of this
project and were quoted at $1.77 by the awarded Design-Build Firm.
• West Terminus of Lincoln Road
An overwater baywalk will be designed, permitted and constructed with the Lincoln Bay
Towers Condominium as part of the West Avenue Phase II project.
The cost estimates for the South Bay Club and unfunded gaps in the baywalk are attached
(Attachment B). To supplement capital funds, the City submitted a Transportation Alternative
Program grant application to the Florida Department of Transportation to fill existing gaps in the
Baywalk system. If awarded, the City will receive $1 million in construction funds during
FY2022/23.

ANALY S I S
Please place on the May 17, 2017 City Commission Agenda, a referral to the
Neighborhood/Community Affairs Committee (N C AC) to discuss the recently emerging and
competitive rogue bike share business model and concerns raised from this practice.
In cities around the U.S. and around the world, multiple rogue bike sharing companies have recently
muscled up on established companies such as CitiBike. T hese rogue companies (e.g., Spin, Noa,
BlueGoGo, Mobike, Ofo, etc.) are not regulated by laws and often eliminate the use of docking
stations via GP S-equipped bikes with mechanisms that lock up the rear tire and can be unlocked via
phone apps. T he bicycles are paid by the minute and can be parked literally anywhere on the street,
wreaking havoc on multiple cities.
Seeing as Miami Beach’s contract with CitiBike extends through 2023, I would like to direct staff to
assess any associated Right of Way concerns and AD A impacts. Additionally, staff should explore
any areas in current City ordinances that may need to be revisited and shored up in anticipation of
this popular practice worldwide.
Attached are images of Chinese storage facilities for bicycles that have been confiscated for having
been illegally parked. For more information on this phenomenon, please review the following New
York Post article: http://nypost.com/2017/04/05/citi-bike-competitors-ready-to-roll-into-nyc/
Please contact my office at extension 6437 for additional information.

Photographer Shen Chunchen has captured
stunning images of where Shanghai's Mobikes
and Ofos go to die.
The photos, taken with a drone, show
Huangpu District's overflowing bike share
graveyard, which officials set up to store bikes
seized for being illegally parked.
