OFFICE OF THE CITY MANAGER
NO. LTC # 008-2016 LETTER TO COMMISSION
TO: Mayor Philip Levine and Members of I, e City Co1 mission
FROM: Jimmy L. Morales, City Manager �--
DATE: January 7, 2016
SUBJECT: Miami Marathon and Half Marathon c anges and impacts
On Sunday, January 24, over 25,000 runners and walkers will take to the streets of
Miami and Miami Beach to participate in the 14th annual Miami Marathon and Half
Marathon. Because of the closure of the Venetian Causeway, which is the regular
egress for runners from Miami Beach, this year's race will have several key changes that
will impact Miami Beach residents and visitors more than in previous years. The course
will start in front of the American Airlines Arena, have runners head east on the
eastbound lanes of the MacArthur Causeway, south on the southbound lanes of Alton
Road, east on South Pointe Drive, north on Ocean Drive, west on 14 Street, north on
Collins Avenue, west on 16 Street, south on the northbound lanes of Washington
Avenue and east on 5th Street, exiting the City on the MacArthur Causeway. Attached is
a course map and estimated times for each area. The race will begin earlier at 6:00am
to move runners off the roads quicker. The anticipation is that the course will
significantly impact Miami Beach until 10:00 am. During that time, the most affected
areas will be south of 5th Street, the Entertainment District and the Palm, Star and
Hibiscus Island residents.
The City has already undertaken a significant social media initiative to warn of these
Y Y 9
impacts, which will ramp up closer to the race date. We have hosted two publicly
noticed community review meetings on the subject, with correspondence confirmed with
the South of Fifth Neighborhood Associations; Palm, Star & Hibiscus Neighborhood
Association; the Ocean Drive Association and the Collins Park Neighborhood
Association. The City has also reached out to the Lincoln Road Merchants and has
required the race communicate with Mt. Sinai, the Miami Beach Golf Course and
affected religious institutions. The City has also required direct outreach through door
hangers to all residents in the path of the race. The race organizers are working with
traditional media to make sure the message gets out and will install Variable Message
Boards in key locations to warn of the race several days in advance. Residents of the
affected areas will have specific access and egress points that will be manned by Miami
Beach Police and all emergency vehicles will be permitted through.
The marathon is being coordinated by the City's Special Events, Police and Fire
departments, with Emergency Management and Communications assisting in all
regards.
Please let me know if you have any questions.
