Resolution 9122 RESOLUTION NO. 9122
WHEREAS, the State Road Department contemplates recon-
struction of the easterly viaduct of the MacArthur Causeway
and has made application to the Department of the Army for a
permit for said reconstruction; and
WHEREAS, the application provides for a fixed bridge
with a center span having a vertical clearance of thirty-seven
(37) feet over mean low water; and
WHEREAS, millions of vehicles travel the MacArthur Causeway
annually, and a movable bridge will result in great economic
loss to the traveling public; and
WHEREAS, only a small percentage of the boats which now
use this waterway require a vertical clearance greater than
thirty-seven (37) feet; and there is a potential water route
running east and west north of the Venetian Causeway extending
from the mainland of Miami Beach to the intra-coastal waterway
which can readily be made available for said boats.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE
CITY OF MIAMI BEACH, FLORIDA, that it endorses the request of
the State Road Department for a permit to do the proposed work;
and
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that the Government of the United
States be requested to designate the waters to the north of the
Venetian Causeway and the waters between the Venetian Causeway
and the MacArthur Causeway along the westerly shore of Miami
Beach, a side channel to the intra-coastal waterway; and
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that a copy of this resolution be
transmitted to the District Engineer, Corps of Engineers,
Jacksonville, Florida, and to our representatives in the Congress
and Senate of the United States.
PASSED and ADOPTED this 7th day of September, A. D. 1955.
