Marvin Silverman The Transportation & Parking Committee met on November 2, 2009, and
Scott Timm held a discussion on the installation ofbump-outs throughout the City. The
seth Wasserman Committee unanimously passed a resolution that bump-outs in congested areas
such as Miami Beach, have the following effects: impedes with the flow of
traffic; impedes with safe bicycle lanes; decreases parking; and restricts turning
radius for trucks and other large vehicles. Bump-outs should be avoided in any
future plans and should only be used in the case of overriding pedestrian safety
concerns.
As an Advisory Committee, we sincerely ask that consideration be given to the
above resolution.
Sincerely,
Transportation and Parking Committee
