2017-29796 Reso RESOLUTION NO. 2017-29796
A RESOLUTION OF THE MAYOR AND CITY COMMISSION OF THE
CITY OF MIAMI BEACH, FLORIDA, REQUESTING MIAMI-DADE
COUNTY AND THE UNITED STATES COAST GUARD TO TAKE
IMMEDIATE STEPS, IN THE INTEREST OF THE PUBLIC HEALTH,
SAFETY, AND WELFARE, TO PREVENT FUTURE MALFUNCTIONS
OF THE EAST BASCULE BRIDGE ON THE VENETIAN CAUSEWAY OR,
IN THE ALTERNATIVE, TO PERMANENTLY CLOSE THE BRIDGE.
WHEREAS, the Venetian Causeway was constructed in 1927 and consists of 12
bridges, 10 fixed and two bascule bridges, which span the 11 Venetian Islands
connecting mainland Miami with the City of Miami Beach; and
WHEREAS, the East Bascule Bridge on the Venetian Causeway connects Belle
Isle and Rivo Alto Island; and
WHEREAS, due to its history of malfunctions, the East Bascule Bridge (Bridge)
was closed during 2016 in order for Miami-Dade County, which owns the Bridge, and
the United States Coast Guard, which operates the Bridge, to repair and upgrade the
Bridge; and
WHEREAS, the Venetian Causeway is the lifeline for the residents on the
Venetian Islands who depend upon the proper functioning of the bridges for ingress and
egress to and from the mainland and Miami Beach to work, to shop, and, in the event of
emergencies, for first responders to provide urgently needed medical care and
assistance; and
WHEREAS, the malfunctioning of the bridges on the Venetian Causeway
negatively impacts the ability of first responders to timely access emergency situations;
and
WHEREAS, the continued malfunctioning of the East Bascule Bridge, despite the
2016 repair work, creates serious safety issues for all who live on and traverse the
Venetian Causeway, and it also negatively affects the welfare and quality-of-life of
residents on the Venetian Islands; and
WHEREAS, even when the East Bascule Bridge is functioning properly, during
periods when the Bridge is open, traffic is at a standstill for an inordinate amount of
time, creating excessive congestion of vehicular, bicycle, and pedestrian traffic in a
concentrated area; and
WHEREAS, safeguards and assurances should be immediately provided by
Miami-Dade County and the United States Coast Guard to address the health, safety,
and quality-of-life issues created by the continued malfunctioning of the East Bascule
Bridge, and if such safeguards cannot be provided, the Bridge should be permanently
closed and only small boats, that do not require an open bridge for passage, should be
permitted to pass under the Bridge.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT DULY RESOLVED BY THE MAYOR AND CITY
COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF MIAMI BEACH, FLORIDA, that the Mayor and City
Commission hereby request Miami-Dade County and the United States Coast Guard to
take immediate steps, in the interest of the public health, safety, and welfare, to prevent
future malfunctions of the East Bascule Bridge on the Venetian Causeway or, in the
alternative, to permanently close the Bridge.
