COMMISSION ITEM SUMMARY
m
--
Condensed Title:
A Resolution of the Mayor and City Commission of the City of Miami Beach, Florida, supporting the Indian Creek
Bridge Project, part of the 41st Street Beautification Phase II, and the reduction of travel lanes from twelve to
eleven feet, incorporating the said footage, along with additional footage gained from striped areas, into the
extension of the bridge sidewalks from five feet to twelve feet.
Issue:
Should the Mayor and City Commission support the reduction of existing traffic lanes on the Indian Creek
Bridge by one foot in order to incorporate said space into the proposed sidewalk extensions, which will
facilitate the increase the existing sidewalks from five feet wide to twelve feet wide?
Item Summary/Recommendation:
The Indian Creek and Biscayne Waterway Bridges, Phase II of 41st Street Beautification, has been in
FOOT permit review for two years. As a final condition to issue the necessary FOOT permit that will allow
the Administration to begin the contractor bid process, FOOT requires a resolution supporting the reduction
of the lanes on the Indian Creek Bridge by one foot. The purpose of the reduction is to create space that
will be incorporated into the extension of sidewalks from five to twelve feet wide on the Indian Creek
Bridge, which will increase pedestrian safety while crossing this busy bridge. This is consistent with CIP
plans for the Oceanfront Neighborhood.

ANALYSIS
Pursuant to Request for Letters of Intent (RFLI) 155-95/96, the Mayor and City Commission
approved Resolution 97-22407 on June 4, 1997. The resolution authorized a contract wittl
Consul-Tech Engineering for architectural and engineering services for the 41s1 Street
Beautification Project Phase II.
Phase II entails bridge modifications to the Biscayne Waterway and the Indian Creek Bridges on
41 sl Street, which is a Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) Right-of-Way. The project
includes new paver stones, mosaic tile work. and in the case of the Indian Creek Bridge, new
lighting and sidewalk extensions from five feet to twelve feet. The Project has been heavily
supported by the Middle Beach Partnership as it creates a gateway effect for the 41 sl Street
corridor.
The Project has been under permit review with FOOT for over two years while several structural
elements have been revised. As a final condition to issue the permit, FOOT asks that the City
support, through City Commission Resolution, the proposed reduction of travel lanes from
twelve feet to eleven feet on the Indian Creek Bridge. The gained space will be incorporated
into the sidewalk extensions along the Indian Creek Bridge, which are necessary for pedestrian
safety on this busy bridge. The reduction in the size of travel lanes has always been an
intended element of the project and is not an unusual component.
Upon the passing of this resolution, FOOT will issue the permit for the project, allowing the City
to issue~bi for construction to commence work on the bridges. Construction should take three
months an can be completed by early 2003 if no other conditions arise.
