ANALYSIS
41 Street is a federal classified Principal Urban Arterial under the jurisdiction of the Florida
Department of Transportation (FDOT). The 41 Street corridor consists of a four lane undivided
roadway with curb, gutter, and sidewalk on both sides of the road running in an east -west direction. The
land -uses along this corridor include a mix of residential and commercial and it is designated as a
shopping district. There are also several schools in the vicinity of 41 Street, including North Beach
Elementary School and Nautilus Middle School.
Improvements along 41s Street are currently listed as Financial Project Number 419824 -1 in the
Metropolitan Planning Organization 2011 -15 Transportation Improvement Plan. The project work plan
for the milling and resurfacing from Alton Road to Collins Avenue includes the replacement of damaged
sidewalks and curb and gutters, upgrades to pedestrian ramps to comply with ADA standards,
improving the existing bridge railing, new mast arms at Pine Tree Drive and at Indian Creek Drive, and
the installation of shared lane bicycle markings from Alton Road to Collins Avenue. FDOT has
scheduled construction to begin in April 2012, with an estimated completion by December 2012. The
estimated construction cost of the project is $2,800,000.
Commission Memorandum — 41 Street Crosswalks
April 13, 2011
Page 2of2
The City has requested that FDOT modify this scope of work to include an upgrade from the proposed
standard crosswalk striping to textured stamped asphalt with a brick red herringbone pattern that is
aesthetically appealing and highly visible for motorists and pedestrians (see Attachment 1). This would
also provide a design consistent with other intersections along 41 Street that have these crosswalk
treatments. The proposed locations for the stamped asphalt crosswalks include the intersections of
41 Street at Garden Avenue and at Meridian Avenue, midblock between Prairie Avenue and Royal
Palm Avenue, and midblock between Royal Palm Avenue and Sheridan Avenue.
The City has also requested that FDOT modify the scope of work to include the installation of a speed
feedback sign on 41 Street eastbound between Alton Road and Garden Avenue. The City had
received concerns from residents regarding speeding along 41s Street from Alton Road to North
Jefferson Avenue. In October 2010, City staff collected 72 hour speed data and determined that 85
percent of the motorists traveling eastbound from Alton Road to Garden Avenue drive at or below 45
mph and from Garden Avenue to North Jefferson Avenue the speed is at or below 49.2 mph. This is
significantly higher than the speed limit for 41s Street, which is 30 mph.
The Miami Beach Police Department agreed to increase enforcement of the speed limit along 41
Street eastbound between Alton Road and Jefferson Avenue during the morning and evening hours.
Additionally, the installation of a speed feedback sign will alert motorists of their speed, which should
encourage compliance with the speed limit. FDOT has agreed to include the installation of the speed
feedback sign in the scope of work.
The additional cost to the project for the stamped asphalt crosswalks will be $78,299.00 and the
additional cost for the speed feedback sign will be $13,253.00. This funding must be provided by the
City to FDOT through the execution of a Locally Funded Agreement (LFA) with FDOT (See Attachment
2). Pursuant to Section 2(g) of the LFA, the City is also required to enter into a Maintenance
Memorandum of Agreement (MMOA) (See Attachment 3).
CONCLUSION
The Administration recommends approving the Resolution.
