RESOLUTION NO. 2001-24502
A RESOLUTION OF THE MAYOR AND CITY COMMISSION OF THE
CITY OF MIAMI BEACH, FLORIDA, RESPECTFULLY REQUESTING
THAT THE FLORIDA DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION DO NOT
IMPLEMENT A RECOMMENDED SAFETY PROJECT PLANNED
FOR SR 907/ALTON ROAD'S WESTBOUND ON RAMP TO SR 112/JULIA
TUTTLE CAUSEWAY, SCHEDULED FOR CONSTRUCTION IN FISCAL
YEAR 2001-02.
WHEREAS, only one southbound lane on SR 907/Alton Road is presently dedicated to
traffic utilizing the on-ramp to westbound SR 112/Julia Tuttle Causeway, causing unsafe merging
movements on Alton Road itself; and
WHEREAS, the Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) has programmed a $111,075
safety project for construction in Fiscal Year 2001-02, that would utilize two existing southbound
lanes on Alton Road to access the one-lane on ramp to westbound Julia Tuttle Causeway (the
Project); and
WHEREAS, the Alton Road residents and the Alton Road Homeowners Association believe
that this proposed dual-lane access to the one lane on ramp will attract additional traffic onto
southbound Alton Road, and, therefore, vehemently oppose the Project.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE MAYOR AND CITY
COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF MIAMI BEACH, FLORIDA, that the Mayor and City
Commission respectfully request that the Florida Department of Transportation do not implement
a recommended Safety Project planned for SR 907/ Alton Road' s westbound on ramp to SR l12/Julia
Tuttle Causeway, scheduled for construction in Fiscal Year 2001-02,

LETTER TO COMMISSION
June 21, 2001
TO: Mayor Neisen O. Kasdin and
Members of the City Commission
FROM: Jorge M. Gonzalez, City Manager
SUBJECT: SR 907/ALTON ROAD/JULIA TUTTLE CAUSEWAY ON-RAMP PROJECT
This is in response to Commissioner Bower's inquiry regarding the scheduled safety improvements
for the Alton Road on-ramp to Julia Tuttle Causeway, The improvements will be implemented by
the Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) in the very near future, The project has been let
and FDOT is in the process of selecting the contractor for the job,
The FDOT project will address existing and recurring safety problems that have been created by
southbound Alton Road traffic, which utilizes the on-ramp to westbound Julia Tuttle Causeway,
Motorists in the left travel lane often make a last-minute and hazardous weaving movement onto
the designated (right) travel lane to access the on ramp, This movement has resulted accidents
and/or near collisions on a daily basis during the morning and mid-day peak hours,
The improvement will allow for two lanes to feed into the on ramp, instead of the existing one,
therefore eliminating the need for the weaving condition associated with motorists trying to access
the on ramp, This will produce a much smoother and safer transition from Alton Road to the Julia
Tuttle Causeway, The improvement will not result in additional operational capacity along the Alton
Road corridor.
Attached is a diagram showing the improvements for your review, If you have any further
questions please contact either me or Joseph Johnson for further details on this improvement
