COMMISSION MEMORANDUM
TO: Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Commission
FROM: Jimmy L. Morales, City Manager
DATE: May 17, 2017
SUBJECT: A RESOLUTION TO APPROVE A REQUEST MADE BY EMERGE
AMERICAS, TO CLOSE THE WESTERNMOST LANE OF WASHINGTON
AVENUE, A MAJOR ROADWAY, FROM DADE BOULEVARD TO JACKIE
GLEASON DRIVE, FROM JUNE 12, 2017 AT 6:00 AM THROUGH JUNE 13,
2017 AT 8:00 PM, INCLUDING DURING RESTRICTED RUSH HOUR
PERIODS, TO ALLOW VALET OPERATION AND SHUTTLE DROP-OFF
AND PICK-UP DURING THE CONFERENCE, TAKING PLACE IN THE
MIAMI BEACH CONVENTION CENTER, HALLS RAND B.
RECOMMENDATION
The Administration recommends approval.
ANALYSIS
The fourth edition of eMerge Americas, a two-day conference bringing together technology
innovators, entrepreneurs and investors from across the Americas, will take place Monday June
12 and Tuesday, June 13 at the Miami Beach Convention Center (MBCC), Halls A and B. Key
speakers at this year's conference will include Apple co-founder Steve Wozniak and Waze co-
founder Un Levine. The conference will be the first public use of the MBCC since the
conclusion of the construction blackout period.
Because the show has typically been held on the west side of the MBCC, utilizing Convention
Center Drive's aprons for valet and shuttle drop off, there is a need to close the single
westernmost lane of Washington Avenue from Dade Boulevard to Jackie Gleason Drive for
valet operation and shuttle drop-off and pick-up from area garages. The closure, as is detailed
in the attached Maintenance of Traffic plan (MOT), will occur from Monday, June 12, 2017, at
6:00 am until Tuesday, June 13, 2017, at 8:00 pm. The times requested are continuous and do
include uses during rush hour restricted periods.
At the July 13, 2016 meeting of the Miami Beach Commission, Resolution 2016-29506 was
adopted, henceforth requiring any new special event applicant seeking to close a road or lane of
a major thoroughfare in the City of Miami Beach to seek approval from the Miami Beach
Commission. eMerge Americas provided the city with the MOT, which has been reviewed and
approved by the Transportation Department. eMerge Americas will hire Miami Beach off-duty
Police to manage the closure.
