Item 5
State Road (SR) 934/Normandy Drive/71"Street is a federal classified Principal Urban Arterial underthejurisdiction of
the Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT). Improvements along SR 934 are divided into the following four
projects in the Metropolitan Planning Organization 2010-14 Transportation Improvement Plan with the listed financial
project numbers (FPN):
• FPN 418095: Normandy Drive, from West Bay Drive to Rue Notre Dame (westbound direction)
• FPN 422616: Normandy Drive, from Rue Notre Dame to East Bay Drive (westbound direction)
• FPN 422617 - 7151 Street, from West Bay Drive to East Bay Drive (eastbound direction)
FPN 419825 - 715` Street, from East Bay Drive to 50 feet west of Collins Avenue (both directions)
Construction is scheduled to begin along Normandy Drive and 715' Street from West Bay Drive to 50 feet west of
Collins in November 2010 with an estimated completion by September 2011. The scope of work for all four projects
will include the milling and resurtacing of the roadway and the reconstruction of pedestrian ramps to comply with
American with Disabilities Act standards, as well as other additional scope items.
The FDOT project includes replacement of ADA ramps and crosswalks that were installed in the mid-1990's with the
North Shore Streetscape Improvement Project on 71 Street and Normandy Drive between Collins Avenue and Rue
Notre Dame. The North Shore Streetscape Improvement Project was acommunity-initiated project that included
decorative sidewalk pavers, crosswalks, landscaping and lighting throughout the commercial areas of North Beach.
The capital improvements were funded by assessments on the property owners, which are still being collected in
yearly increments today. FDOT agreed to maintain this commitment to the community and replace the decorative
crosswalks and those sidewalk pavers that will be disturbed by the ADA ramp construction at no cost to the City. At the
request of the City, FDOT is adding bulbouts at several intersections to increase pedestrian safety. Some of these new
bulbouts will have planters that will be maintained by the City. All pedestrian crosswalks will consist of a stamped
asphalt material which will also be maintained by the City.

• Normandy Drive from West Bay Drive to Rue Notre Dame: cross slope correction and a new
4-foot bike lane from Rue Notre Dame to Biarritz Drive.
Normandy Drive from Rue Notre Dame to East Bav Drive: The conversion of Rue Vendome to
a one-way came as a result of a study conducted by FDOT to address safety concerns on Rue
Vendome between Normandy and 71s` street. This improvement was proposed based on the
crash analysis and the crash patterns identified in the collision diagrams, to eliminate conflicts
between westbound to southbound traffic and northbound to westbound traffic, and conflicts
between eastbound to westbound turn around traffic and westbound to southbound traffic. As a
result of the study the conversion to one-way northbound will be implemented as is now part of
the plans. In addition other work includes: restriping of travel lanes between East Bay Drive and
Rue Versailles in order to accommodate a 4-foot bike lane along this block; installation of high
emphasis crosswalks and a pedestrian countdown signal head and push button on the west
side of the intersection of Normandy Drive and Rue Versailles; and the modification of the
existing island on the west side of East Bay Drive.
• 715` Street from West Bav Drive to East Bay Drive: cross slope correction; a new 4-foot bike
lane from Biarritz Drive to Rue Notre Dame; and new stamped asphalt crosswalks at the
intersection of Rue Vendome and 7152 Street.
• 71st Street from East Bav Drive to 50 feet west of Collins Avenue: installation of bulb outs,
stamped asphalt crosswalks, landscaping planters at certain locations; drainage
improvements to address existing flooding; cross slope corrections; new 4-foot bike lanes
from East Bay Drive to 110 feet east of Byron Avenue; and a new mast arm for the traffic
signal at Indian Creek Drive.
The FDOT project includes replacement of ADA ramps and crosswalks that were installed in the mid-
1990's with the North Shore Streetscape Improvement Project on 71 Street and Normandy Drive
between Collins Avenue and Rue Notre Dame. The North Shore Streetscape Improvement Project
was acommunity-initiated project that included decorative sidewalk pavers, crosswalks, landscaping
and lighting throughout the commercial areas of North Beach. The capital improvements were funded
by assessments on the property owners, which are still being collected in yearly increments today.
FDOT agreed to maintain this commitment to the community and replace the decorative crosswalks
and those sidewalk pavers that will be disturbed by the ADA ramp construction at no cost to the City.
At the request of the City, FDOT is adding bulbouts at several intersections to increase pedestrian
safety. Some of these new bulbouts will have planters that will be maintained by the City. All
pedestrian crosswalks will consist of a stamped asphalt material which will also be maintained by the
City.
The City has been responsible for maintaining the upgraded sidewalks, crosswalks and landscaping
in the North Beach commercial districts since the North Shore Streetscape Improvement Project was
installed in the mid-1990's. This proposed maintenance agreement is an update to reflect the FDOT
project that will be constructed in 2010-2011. City staff does not foresee any maintenance related
expenditures for the first two years after completion of the improvements indicated as part of this
agreement. This will require the execution of the following:
Planters:
• Intersections of 71st at Dickens Avenue, Carlyle Avenue, Byron Avenue, Abbott Avenue, Bay
Drive East.
• Median Island on the south side of 7151 Street at Bonita Drive.
