BACKGROUND
The City of Miami Beach has experienced parking shortages during major events such as
the Pavarotti Concert, NFL Weekend, Boat Show, Graphics of the Americas, Memorial Day
Weekend, Art Deco Weekend, and Auto Show. There are various annual and one-time
special events scheduled on Miami Beach and the Administration has determined that
there will be a severe parking shortage for a number of these events.
ANALYSIS
During some weekends throughout the year, severe parking demand leads to mobility
problems and ultimately gridlock on our City's roadway system. This fact has been
experienced during Boat Show, Memorial Day Weekend, and New Year's Eve. The
creation of additional parking opportunities for visitors to the City during high impact
events, coupled with an enhanced Electrowave circulator program (park-and-ride services)
alleviates the mobility problems and gridlock anticipated during these event weekends.
