RECOMMENDATION
The Administration recommends approval of this resolution.
BACKGROUND
The condition (i.e. visibility) of pavement markings is an essential factor for the safe operations of
roadways and to help ensure the safety of motorists, pedestrians, and bicyclists. The City of Miami
Beach currently coordinates with Miami -Dade County Department of Transportation and Public
Works for stand -alone pavement markings and signage improvements and maintenance in the City.
However, the County does not have a recurring maintenance program for pavement markings and
signage on local roadways in Miami -Dade County. The Florida Department of Transportation
(FDOT) is responsible for pavement striping on roadways under the State's jurisdiction and currently
has a Pavement Management System Program that includes the recurring maintenance of pavement
striping on state roads.
ANALYSIS
Given the poor condition of existing pavement markings on many City streets, the Transportation Department has
budgeted $110,000 In its curent fiscal year operating budget for maintenance of electronic signage, traffic control
signage, and pavement markings. While the maintenance and installation of electronic traffic control devices is being
prioritized with current fiscal year funds, it is the Transportation Department's goal to develop a maintenance program
for the periodic restriping of pavement markings for all local /residential streets in the City. With this objective in mind,
the City's Transportation Department staff reached out to the Florida International University (F IU) Lehman Center for
Transportation Research to discuss a partnership focused on conducting assessments of pavement markings on City
streets.

In April 2018, FIU submitted a scope of work and fee proposal (attached) in the amount of $16,125 to conduct
qualitative assessments of existing pavement markings on all roadways in the City. The main objective of this
assessment is to identify and prioritize locations within the City that are in need of restriping the existing pavement
markings. The scope of work includes a daytime and night -time assessment of pavement markings, data sorting and
GIS mapping, and the development of a Pavement Marking Maintenance Program based on the results of the
assessments. Based on the schedule submitted by FIU, the findings of the assessments will be provided to the City
in December2018.
KEY INTENDED OUTCOMES SUPPORTED
Ensure Comprehensive Mobility Addressing All Modes Throughout The City
FINANCIAL INFORMATION
The Citywide Pavement Marking Assessment and Maintenance Program is being funded from the
Fiscal Year 2017/18 Transportation Department Operating Budget.

INTRODUCTION
The City of Miami Beach has requested Florida International University (FIU) to conduct a
citywide assessment of pavement marking condition. The main objective of this study is to identify
and prioritize locations within the city for restriping the pavement markings. The scope of this
study is limited to public roads maintained by the City of Miami Beach.
WORK TASKS
The specific work tasks of this scope are listed below:
• Identify and acquire different types of data
• Collect data on pavement marking condition during daytime and nighttime
• Develop a prioritized list of improvement locations
Task 1: Acquire Data
This task focuses on acquiring the data needed to perform the analysis. Data will be extracted from
several sources. When unavailable, the data will be collected from aerial images. More
specifically, the following data will be obtained and included in the analysis:
• Road network: The Geographic Information System (GIS) shapefiles of the public road
network in the City of Miami Beach will be obtained from the City of Miami Beach
Transportation Department.
• Crash data: Signal Four Analytics will be used to extract crash data for the entire City of
Miami Beach for the years 2014 through 2016. This information will be included in the
analysis.
• Land use data: If available, the type of land use will also be incorporated in the analysis.
• Traffic data: Traffic volumes will be extracted from the All -Roads map provided by the
Florida Department of Transportation. Other sources of this information will also be
reviewed.
Task 2: Collect Data on Pavement Marking Condition
The City of Miami Beach does not have information on the present condition of pavement
markings. Hence, a major effort of this project would be to collect this information. This
information will be collected both during daytime and nighttime conditions. The condition of
pavement markings on the entire road network within the 15.22 sq. miles of the city area will be
recorded. Based on a quick review of the Roadway GIS layer, the City of Miami Beach is has
approximately 60 miles of road network.
A student will install a video camera in the car dashboard and will drive through the entire road
network in the City of Miami Beach during daytime. The recorded data will be reviewed on
Page 641 of 1464
campus at FIU, and data on the quality of the pavement markings will be collected. The same
procedure will be repeated to record the pavement marking quality at night
Task 3: Prioritize Locations for Improvement
Spatial analysis will be conducted in ArcGIS to identify and prioritize locations that require
restriping of pavement markings. Separate lists will be prepared for segments and intersections.
Task 4: Verify the List of Prioritized Locations
Once the list of segments and intersections is finalized, a student will drive through the locations
to determine if they are suitable candidates for restriping the pavement markings. The finalized list
of locations will be revised based on the review.
Task 5: Submit Final Report
A draft final report documenting all aspects of this project will be prepared and submitted for
review and comment. Upon approval of the draft final report, the final report will be submitted..
