SUBJECT: Resilience Accelerator Update —W•st Avenue Project
I am very pleased to provide an update on the Resilience Accelerator that has been brought to us through
our membership in the 100 Resilient Cities Network. The Resilience Accelerator is a partnership between
100 Resilient Cities and the Center for Resilient Cities & Landscapes at Columbia University,
funded by a $3.7 million grant from the Rockefeller Foundation. While this was a competitive grant
program, Greater Miami & the Beaches was chosen to directly participate. Miami Beach's West Avenue
Neighborhood Improvement Project was selected as one of four projects in South Florida
On August 6, 7, and 8 Columbia University brought together multi-disciplinary expertise to assist the city's
team in advancing the strategy and project design to keep the project moving forward while integrating a
more holistic resiliency approach. The workshop focused on strategy and design, stakeholder
engagement, and benefits and costs. Over the course of the three day workshop, the team identified
appropriate enhancements based on the project's lifecycle, existing and future site challenges, and
feedback from the local community. The City brought together the Design Build Team headed by Ric-Man
Construction Florida; internal staff from CIP, Environment & Sustainability, Fire, Parking, Planning, Public
Works, and Transportation Departments; and, local experts in engineering, architecture and urban
design.
On Tuesday, September 4, City staff will be presenting to the West Avenue Neighborhood Association
(WAVNA). Later in the month of September, a meeting will also be held with North of Fifth Neighborhood
Association (NOFNA). The purpose of these meetings is to familiarize the residents and businesses along
this corridor with the results from the Accelerator. Attached is the presentation that will be provided to the
community. The next steps in the process will be to present staff recommendations at the October 17
Commission Meeting with the goal to submit a change order to Ric-Man Construction's contract for
Commission approval on November 14.
If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to reach out to Susy Torriente, Chief Resiliency Officer
and Assistant City Manager or Elizabeth Wheaton, Environment & Sustainability Director.
