BACKGROUND
At a joint meeting on April 7, 1998, the Finance and Citywide Projects Committee and the
Neighborhoods Committee recommended that a traffic study be conducted encompassing the area
of the Venetian Causeway, Bay Drive, Lower North Bay Road and Dade Boulevard. A report of
the joint meeting of the Finance and Citywide Projects Committee and the Neighborhoods

Following the meeting, and pursuant to RFQ 80-96/97, the Administration negotiated an agreement
with Urban Resource Group (URG) in an amount not to exceed $20,950, for traffic evaluation and

On October 31, 1998, consensus was reached and an agreement executed between the Lower North
Bay Road Homeowners Association, Sunset Islands 3 & 4 Property Owners and the Lower Alton
Road Coalition, regarding traffic modifications in the area of the new Publix Supermarket. On
November 18, 1998, the City Commission approved the implementation of the traffic modifications
contained in this Homeowners' Consensus Agreement (the "Agreement").
At the April 14, 1999 City Commission meeting, the Commission referred to the Neighborhoods
Committee, an amendment to the agreement with Urban Resource Group for North Bay Road and
West Avenue, in an amount not to exceed $21,150, for traffic analysis and evaluation of traffic
modifications, to implement the Agreement.
At the April 21, 1999, Neighborhoods Committee meeting, comments were received from residents
regarding traffic conditions in the area of 20th Street and Alton Road. The Committee determined
to recommend to separate from the Homeowners' Consensus Agreement, the proposed improvements
to the intersection of Alton Road and 20th Street, in order to accommodate two eastbound left -turn
lanes on 20th Street onto northbound Alton Road.
At the April 28, 1999 Commission meeting, Resolution No. 99-23145 was adopted accepting the
recommendation of the Neighborhoods Committee and directing the Administration to proceed with
the implementation of the modification to the intersection of Alton Road and 20th Street

implement the traffic modifications at the intersection of Alton Road and 20th Street. The additional
scope of work includes traffic analysis, permitting and preparation of construction documents for
the modifications proposed for the area of Alton Road and 20th Street (Attachment #2).

Scope of Services
Task 1 Data Collection
1
Ms. Mercedes Sosa, April 27, 1999, Page 5
In order to perform an intersection capacity analysis, Kimley-Horn & Associates will coordinate
and obtain the following data:
• Four-hour turning movement counts will be taken; (2) during the AM peak hours and (2)
during the PM peak hours.
• Traffic signalization plans and timing and phasing data from Miami -Dade Public Works
Department for the subject intersection.
Task 2 Analysis
The traffic volume data described in Task I will. be used to perform the intersection capacity
analysis for the study intersection using SIGNAL97 software. The analysis will analyze existing
and proposed conditions for both the AM and PM peak hours. A comparative assessment will be
made to determine. the impacts to level of service at the intersection. A letter report will be
prepared that summarizes the findings from the analysis. This letter report will be submitted to
the review agencies, along with the plans for approval, as part of the permitting task.
Task 3 Survey Data/Base Map Preparation
Kimley-Horn. will coordinate with and obtain a survey of the intersection. The surveyor will
prepare a base map of the area for use in the development of the traffic signal plan modification.
The base map will be prepared ir. CADD format at a scale of 1 inch = 20 feet. Kimley-Horn will
then visit the site to visually verify the representation shown on the base map against the obseryed
field conditions. The base map will include existing horizontal features in the area and will also
be amended to include any known utilities that may interfere with the proposed improvements.
The survey will utilize the existing curbs as the control for base mapping.
Task 4 Traffic Signal Modification/Signing and Pavement Markings
Kimley-Horn and Associates will develop a traffic signal pian sheet which indicates the location
of the proposed improvement to the traffic signal, the proposed traffic signal phasing, and an
estimate of quantities for the modification. Preliminary traffic signal timings will also be
provided on the plan sheet for the revised intersection phasing.
Modifications to the existing traffic signal are to include the addition of a northbound left -turn
traffic signal head and necessary equipment modifications to provide for a shared left and right -
turn southbound. There is currently adequate pavement width to accommodate three lanes of
traffic at the intersection. In a previous study, there was proposed to be one lane westbound and
two lanes eastbound. Any geometric changes that may be required as a result of the analysis
outlined in the tasks above will be negotiated with the City as an additional.service.
-UR B AN RES
OUR CE GR 0
Ms. Mercedes Sosa, April 27, 1999, Page 6
The revised lane configuration will require revising the signing and pavement markings along
20`'' Street for one block west of Alton Road. Parking that is currently allowed along 20th Street
in this area will need to be evaluated and some parking will need to be removed. Plan sheets will
be prepared which show the revised pavement markings and signage.
Task 5 Permitting/Coordination
We will submit five (5) copies of the plan for modification of the traffic signal to Miami -Dade
County Traffic Engineering Division and the Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) for
review and approval. The appropriate permit applications will be completed and submitted along
with the plans. All permit fees will be paid directly by the City of Miami Beach.
It is anticipated that one meeting will be attended with the City of Miami Beach, Miami -Dade
County, and the FDOT regarding the signal modification.

SECRETARY
Subject: Section 87037/ SR 907/ Alton Rd at 20 St. & N. Bay Rd.(C.T.P # 1998-12-0017
The Department has completed its review of your requests for modifications on Alton Road
at the intersections of 20 Street and North Bay Road. After careful consideration, we offer
the following comments.
Reviewing the information sent to our office and a subsequent conversation with Mr.
Muhammed Hassan, Miami -Dade County Public Works, it is the Department's
determination that the modifications you are requesting fall under the realm of Traffic
Flow Modifications and should be treated as such. In order to properly evaluate the
impacts to surrounding areas, a comprehensive study approach, using the Miami Dade
County Traffic Modification/Street Closure procedure will be necessary. Any advantages
and/or disadvantages derived from the proposed improvements should be included in order
to properly evaluate the modifications. This process should be coordinated with Miami
Dade County with input from the Department.
It appears that the City has already contacted Miami Dade County to address these issues,
as such, the Department looks forward to offering input throughout the process. We
appreciate the opportunity to have addressed this matter for you. If we can offer further
assistance please feel free to contact us at the above number.
Sincerely,
Carlos Francis, P.E.
District Safety Engineer
