AGREEMENT
On October 21, 1998, the Lower North Bay Road Homeowners
Association, Inc., Sunset Islands 3 & 4 Property Owners
Association Inc. and Lower Al ton Coalition advised the Miami
Beach City Commission of an agreement that they had reached with
regard to the "no left turn" restriction at the foot of Lower
North Bay Road, traffic patterns in the immediate area and
traffic which will be exiting the new Publix Supermarket onto
Bay Road.
The following are the two provisions of the "consensus
agreement" or the "consensus proposal" which was moved by
commissioner Dermer, seconded by Commissioner Simon Cruz and
passed unanimously. Although modifications to this were
discussed by several commissioners, the motion - and, hence, the
agreement was passed without amendment. We are also in
agreement that, should the City, for any reason, either reject
or fail to implement one of these provisions, the other one
should be put into effect.
1. The existing left turn restriction applied to eastbound
traffic on Sunset Harbour Drive, a/k/a 20th Street, at the south
end of lower North Bay Road will be removed upon implementation
of (A) the following measures listed in items 2, 3 and 5 or (B)
measures listed in item 2 and the lapsing of ninety (90) days,
whichever occurs first. In no event will the left turn
restriction be removed if item 2 is not implemented. The ninety
(90) day period will commence upon the City commission's
approval of this Agreement.
This would be with the following understanding. It would not be
made unduly difficult to make these turns. The existing sign,
planters and cones, would be replaced with something consonant
with the character of the area. There would be no "catches", no
diverters for northbound traffic on lower North Bay Road, as
previously proposed by Public Works, no required right turns for
such traffic onto side streets, no one waying of any portion of
lower North Bay southbound, no following proposals which would
in any way restrict the access of lower Alton Road residents and
their vehicles into lower North Bay Road at any point.
2. The northbound lanes on West Avenue and Bay Road at Sunset
Harbour Drive, a/k/a 20th Street would be blockaded/closed with a
flexible barrier. This would divert all traffic exiting the new
Publix to Dade Boulevard. All exiting PUblix traffic would be
routed to Dade Boulevard by signalization or other means. No
turns would be permitted that would return exiting traffic to
Sunset Harbour Drive, a/k/a 20th Street eastbound. A "no right
turn" sign will be placed at the westbound lSu Street corner at
Purdy, prohibiting right turns onto Purdy. Left turns will be
permitted from Purdy Avenue and West Avenue onto Dade Boulevard.
The City will use its best efforts to work out a solution with
the appropriate departments to make Bay Road accessible for
traffic wanting to turn left onto Dade Boulevard and/or 17th
Street and will review the use of a traffic signal at the
intersections of West Avenue and Purdy Avenue. All signage in
this immediate area (West/Bay/Purdy/Venetian) should be redone
to guide exiting traffic southward and out of the area.
3. Immediately restripe the intersection of Alton and Sunset
Harbour Drive, a/k/a 20th Street, to accommodate two (2) left
turn lanes. Retime the light to avoid current long waits.
Traffic calming will consist of landscaped median/planters just
west of Sunset Drive and at sunset Drive just north of 20th
Street.
4. Immediately implement traffic

We also support the lowering of the speed limit on lower North
Bay Road to 25 miles per hour, as well as further traffic
calming measures for both lower North Bay Road and Alton Road as
mutually agreeable to the parties.
5. Immediately implement the placement of a "no (right)
turns" restriction to apply to southbound traffic on Alton Road
at the intersection of Alton, North Bay and Chase Avenue.
6. Additionally, we urge the City Commission to inunediately
formalize and implement the above measures as well as support
the implementation of four-way stops at 18th Street and West
Avenue, 18th Street and Bay Road and 18th Street and Purdy. We
also support the widening and/or reconstruction of the
intersection of Sunset Harbour Drive, a/k/a 20th Street and Alton
to allow two dedicated left turn lanes and one dedicated right
turn lane.

1. The existing left turn restriction applied to eastbound
traffic on Sunset Harbour Drive, a/k/a 20th Street, at the south
end of lower North Bay Road, would remain, but would include a
clearly visible provision specifying that left turns would be
permitted by special permit only, or words to that effect. The
City would make special decals available to anyone owning or
leasing a motor vehicle registered to an address on Alton Road
between 20th street and the intersection of Alton Road with North
Bay Road between the aforementioned intersection and its
southern end at 20~ street and on Sunset Islands 1,2,3 and 4 -
one decal for each such vehicle. Vehicles bearing such decal
would be permitted to make left turns into North Bay Road at the
subject intersection, coming from any direction and at any time
of the day or night. There should be no charge to these drivers
for these decals; however, if a charge is imposed, the resulting
funds should be earmarked for future traffic calming and/or
beautification for these affected areas.
This would be with the following understanding. It would not be
made unduly difficult to make these turns. The existing sign,
planters and cones, would be replaced with something consonant

Boulevard, would be made one way going south. This would divert

Dear Mayor and Commissioners,
This letter is to remind you that nearly two months have
passed since you approved the final version of an agreement between
the homeowner and resident groups representing loweJ:" North Bay
Road, lower Alton Road and Sunset Islands 3 an~ 4. This agreement
basically called tor certain rearrangements and restrictions on
area traffic patterns and also for the removal of the left turn
rQ~triction at the foot of North Bay. So far, it does not appear
that anything has been done in this direction. The understanding
was that this would be implemented within 90 days.
As you know, this agreement followed weeks of negotiating,
which we~e in turn preceded by a year ot squabbles and
misunderstandings. It would be most unfortunate if that regrettable
cycle was to repeat itself.
Time is of the eesence for the following reasons.
1) According to Publix officials, the old Publix will be
closed _at some ind.t.~nat9 ~ate in the near future for
renovations. This closing will probably last for several months.
This will greatly increase trartic 1n and out ot the new Publix.
2) The talk is that when the old publix reopens, it will be as
an upscale -Epicure-typed market, meaning that many of its current
customers will gravitate to the new PUblix for economic reasons.
3) The afor@msntioned left turn rectriction was authori~ed on
March 4, 1998 and implemented on March 11 as a test item, to be
removed within a period o! trom 30 to 90 days, depending on
interpretation. It has now been in place for 10 months. It is
widely disregarded, and, except for brief test periods.. is not
being enforced.
