Shared Space
Designed as a curbless shared space,
Ocean Terrace can become an elegant
public space in Miami Beach. The
pavement design can subtly indicate
primarily pedestrian space from
space that cars may occupy. At certain
key times, such as during festivals and
street fairs, the street can be closed
to cars completely with simple metal
bollards.
What is key is that Ocean Terrace
remain a street accessible to all with
vehicular access, ample parking,
bicycle lanes, sidewalks, and transit
access. Residents will still need to
maintain access to parking entrances
located on Ocean Terrace.

This map serves to illustrate how the front of buildings
should face the street. When fronts face fronts the
streetscapes become more active. This could serve to
enhance east to west connectivity from Biscayne Bay

North Shore Branch Library
One of the key recommendations made by North
Beach stakeholders who participated in the Mayor’s
Blue Ribbon Panel on North Beach in 2014 and
2015 was to “Relocate the library from its current
location at 7501 Collins Avenue, to a more centrally-
located and modern site in the Town Center” (cited
from North Beach Revitalization Summary Report,
November 20, 2014).
A couple of questions arise: Where should the library
be relocated ? What should happen with the current
library site?
Relocating the Library
The North Shore library’s proximity to the beach
makes this public asset unique, as it is the only facility
of its type located in such a desirable location, steps
from the beach. However, one of the complaints
about the current library facility is that it is out-
dated and does not meet the functions or have the
selection of books that one finds at larger regional
facilities like the Miami Beach Regional Library in
South Beach.
Town centers should host City offices, banks, post
offices, and other public services. These types of
institutions, both public and private, give a “center”
its primacy. North Beach’s post office is currently
located on 71st Street across from the Byron Carlyle
Theater. If the Byron Carlyle Theater is one day to
be redesigned, one of its potential new uses could
be the creation of a ‘21st Century library’ that could
consist of a media center and community space that
would provide Wifi access and computers that could
be used by local residents to access the Miami-Dade
County Library System’s Online database.
Re-purposing the Current Library Site
It is important to note that the library site is a public
facility owned by the City and that a portion of the
current library is within the Coastal Construction
Line. This line makes it difficult, if not impossible, for
any buildings larger than the current footprint to be
built. Any new uses would likely to be smaller in size.
New buildings on the Coastal Construction Line are
intended to have a lighter environmental footprint
than what they replace.
New public uses could include outdoor dining
under a public pavilion. South Point Park in South
Beach includes a popular coffee and non-alcoholic
frozen drink concession alongside a space that can
be rented by members of the public for events.
Similar low impact, community-serving, City-owned
opportunities should be investigated.
Another public use to explore is an Ocean Rescue
Station. The City of Miami Beach Ocean Rescue
Division provides for the safe swimming and beach
protection to all Miami Beach residents, visitors and
tourists in designated areas. The responsibilities of
Ocean Lifeguards include accident and drowning
prevention, public education, citizen assist, search
and recovery of lost children, basic life support, and
swimmer rescues.
The Miami Beach Ocean Rescue Headquarters is
located at 1001 Ocean Drive in South Beach. Ocean
Rescue has three sub-stations located at South
Pointe Park, 53rd Street and Collins Avenue and 79th
Street and Collins Avenue.
The plan recommends establishing an advisory
group to explore the possibilities for relocating
the Library to the Town Center and re-purposing
its current location for either public concessions,
Ocean Rescue, a combination of the two, or some
other appropriate use.

Recommendations
West Lots
• Make landscape and streetscape improvements on
the West Lots.
• Issue a Request for Proposals to assess what the
private market would be willing to build in the
West Lots in accordance with plan principals.
North Shore Library
• Establish an advisory group to explore the
possibilities for relocating the Library and re-
purposing its current location.

Miami Beach Intermodal Hubs Feasibility Study
Page | 40
Figure 14. Alternative A Site
Name: Harding Avenue/Collins Avenue Split Configuration (existing layout)
Aerial and Street View:
Description: This alternative would
improve the existing pair of transit stops on
Collins and Abbott Avenues by adding bus
bays and enhanced station amenities at
station locations. This split configuration is
due to the directional transit routings on the
one-way pair of streets. This layout would
support the Plan NOBE street proposals,
the new Town Center District, the potential Ocean Terrace redevelopment, and the potential
Skate Park and parking garage complex, if it comes to fruition on the 72nd/73rd Street site. North
Beach residents north of 73rd Street have the lowest car ownership and highest transit ridership
in Miami Beach, and the potential intermodal center would assist in their daily commute and
improve their quality of life. The increased density to the north (Ocean Terrace) and south (Town
Center District) would make the 72nd/73rd Street area more of a focal point through increased use
of its recreational amenities and connections to buses running north and south to the employment
and entertainment centers in Aventura and South Beach. Potential garage development at the
existing surface parking lot could accommodate commuter parking. Potential Skate Park
development at the site would not be precluded by the intermodal center development as
described in this option.
The advantages and disadvantages of the Alternative A site are as follows:
Advantages:
73rd Street
72nd Street
Northbound
Southbound
•Familiar to users.
•No conflicting land use frontages.
•No deviation of routes needed.
•Highly visible location.
•All transit routes pass by both stops.
•Room for larger station area with bicycle
racks.
•Adjacent to potential parking garage.
•No right-of-way acquisition needed.
•Bus bays can be expanded.

Mid-term Improvements
In the near future, on-demand car sharing and transit
use are anticipated to increase. A balanced mix of
transportation options, including efficient buses,
a connected bike network, walkable streets and a
connected street network for cars will further decrease
the need for abundant parking at all hours. Self-driving
vehicles may also further change the mobility needs of
the community.
A parking strategy that accommodates current and
future demand should be developed. The plan should
balance on-street and off-street options, and provide
for easy access and efficient use of space. The City
can also require new development projects to prepare
and implement a transportation demand management
plan to reduce parking demand and greenhouse gas

emissions. These development standards and rules
can reduce Vehicle Miles Traveled (VMT) and promote
transit, car sharing, bicycle parking, and other VMT-
reduction strategies.
As mobility options improve, and fewer parking spaces
are required, the remaining spaces can be converted into
additional green space, creating a complete public space
within the Town Center. With improved pedestrian,
cyclist, and trolley/transit facilities, on-street parking,
smaller surface lots will provide ample parking options
to meet existing demand, while encouraging foot traffic.
A bus transfer station could also be created using a small
footprint within the parking lot. Such a facility could
further encourage the use of mass transit over cars.

General Recommendations
Commercial kiosks activate the public space
An all-wheels skate park offers an amenity
to the neighborhood
A recreational field can be used for a variety
of sports including soccer
A civic use such as a library, community
center or other, further builds on the public
uses on the adjacent blocks
Green space serving the surrounding
businesses and residences
Compatible new buildings face the street
and locates parking in the rear
Street trees enhance the pedestrian
environment
Convert Collins Avenue to two-way traffic;
include a dedicated bus lane and on-street
parking

Long-term possibilities
Long-term
Possibilities
Someday, the city might
also consider the option of
constructing a mixed-use parking
garage, with retail, commercial,
and office or residential units
lining the garage on all sides. The
scenario illustrated here holds
open the option of building a
public parking garage as a last
resort, in the distant future,
should it ever actually prove
necessary.
