BACKGROUND
The City of Miami Beach has experienced parking shortages during major events such as
the Pavarotti Concert, NFL Weekend 1999, the Boat Show, Graphics of the Americas, and
Auto Show. There are various annual and one-time special events scheduled on Miami

for a number of these events.

During some weekends throughout the year, severe parking demand leads to mobility
problems and ultimately gridlock on our City's roadway system. This fact has been
experienced during Boat Show, Memorial Day Weekend, and New Year's Eve. The
creation of additional parking opportunities for visitors to the City during high impact
events, coupled with an enhanced Electrowave circulator program (park-and-ride services)
alleviates the mobility problems and gridlock anticipated during these event weekends.
The Administration has developed a list of vacant surface lots that could be available for
use during specified events to alleviate the anticipated severe parking demand. The
following is a listing of the events and their respective anticipated emergency dates.
Furthermore, attached is a list of the various vacant lots throughout the City.

vacant surface lots on November 9-11, 2002 for the South Florida Auto Show and moving
forward for the use of the vacant lots, as specified, to be utilized for valet parking and self-

authorize the City Manager to require parking operators to secure the appropriate
insurance and Occupational Licenses required by the City Code to operate self-parking
and/or valet parking operations for this purpose.
