RECOMMENDATION
Adopt the Resolution.
BACKGROUND
The City of Miami Beach has experienced parking shortages during major events such as
the Pavarotti Concert, NFL Weekend 1999, the Boat Show, Graphics of the Americas, 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 shortages lead to mobility
problems and ultimately gridlock on our City's roadway system, This fact was most
recently experienced during Memorial Day Weekend 2001. The creation of additional
parking opportunities for visitors to the City during high impact events, coupled with an
enhanced Electrowave circulator program (and park-and-ride service provided by Miami-
Dade Transit Authority for the N'SYNC Event on November 11, 2001) will alleviate the
mobility problems and gridlock anticipated during these event weekends, The
Administration has developed a list of vacant surface lots that could be available for use
