A STUDY TO EVALUATE NORTH -SOUTH TRANSPORTATION NEEDS
FOR THE COASTAL COMMUNITIES ALONG THE AIA CORRIDOR,
INCLUDING MIAMI BEACH, SURFSIDE, BAL HARBOUR, BAY

WHEREAS, at its April 27, 2018 Strategic Miami Area Rapid Transit Plan Workshop, the City
Commission discussed the need to evaluate transit options, including Bus Rapid Transit, to improve mobility
throughout the coastal communities along the AIA corridor. At the workshop, it was recommended that the
City Commission request that the Miami -Dade Transportation Planning Organization (TPO) conduct such a
study; and
WHEREAS, congestion is a serious issue along the AIA corridor as demonstrated by the existing Peak
Directional Level of Service of C, D, and F and the 2035 Future Peak Directional LOS of D and F along the
length of Collins Avenue /AIA corridor between Aventura and Miami Beach; and
WHEREAS, in 2007, the Coastal Communities Transportation Master Plan, prepared by the Miami -
Dade TPO for Miami Beach and other coastal communities, recommended enhancing regional coastal transit
though Bus Rapid Transit and a Collins Avenue Corridor Study to identify ways to increase capacity along the
AIA/Collins Avenue corridor; and
WHEREAS, the adopted 2016 Miami Beach Transportation Master Plan (TMP) designated a transit
priority network, which included the AIA/Collins Avenue corridor from 17th Street on the south to the City limit
on the north; and
WHEREAS, transit ridership is strong along the AIA corridor and is strongly encouraged by the 2016
TMP to grow. As an example, for the month of February 2017, the average weekday ridership in North Beach
alone for Miami -Dade Transit buses and the City's North Beach Trolley Loop was approximately 31,752
passengers; and
WHEREAS, additionally, the recently approved FAR increase in the North Beach Town Center area will
lead to substantial growth in North Beach, and the area is envisioned to become a multimodal community with
a high potential for mass transit.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT DULY RESOLVED BY THE MAYOR AND THE CITY COMMISSION OF
THE CITY OF MIAMI BEACH, FLORIDA that the Mayor and City Commission hereby urge the Miami -Dade
Transportation Planning Organization to initiate a study to evaluate north - south transportation needs for
coastal communities along the AIA corridor, including Miami Beach, Surfside, Bal Harbour, Bay Harbour,
Sunny Isles, and Aventura.
