A RESOLUTION OF THE MAYOR AND CITY COMMISSION OF THE
CITY OF MIAMI BEACH, FLORIDA, RESPECTFULLY REQUESTING
THAT THE FLORIDA DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION DOES NOT
IMPLEMENT A RECOMMENDED SAFETY PROJECT, PLANNED
FOR SR 907/ALTON ROAD'S WESTBOUND ON-RAMP TO SR 1121JULIA
TUTTLE CAUSEWAY, AND 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 (fiOT) 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; and
WHEREAS, the Mayor and City Commission concur with the residents' and Association's
recommendation.
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 does not implement
a recommended Safety Project, planned for SR 907/Alton Road's westbound on-ramp to SR
112/Julia Tuttle Causeway, and scheduled for construction in Fiscal Year 2001-02.
