COMMISSION MEMORANDUM
TO: Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Commission
FROM: Jimmy L. Morales, City Manager
DATE: April 22, 2020
SUBJECT:A RESOLUTION OF THE MAYOR AND CITY COMMISSION OF THE CITY
OF MIAMI BEACH, FLORIDA,ACCEPTING THE RECOMMENDATIONS OF
THE NEIGHBORHOOD AND QUALITY OF LIFE COMMITTEE AT ITS
FEBRUARY 3, 2020 MEETING, AND APPROVING THE PROPOSED
CONCEPTS OF THE 23RD STREET COMPLETE STREETS FEASIBILITY
STUDY, EXCLUDING THE FOLLOWING (1) BICYCLE LANES BETWEEN
LIBERTY AVENUE AND THE EAST SIDE OF COLLINS AVENUE, (2) THE
SHARED USE PATH IMPROVEMENTS BETWEEN THE EAST SIDE OF
COLLINS AVENUE AND THE BEACHWALK, AND (3) THE LANE
REDUCTION ON 23 STREET, AS ORIGINALLY PROPOSED IN THE
CONCEPT PLAN RECOMMENDATIONS.
RECOMMENDATION
The Administration recommends that the Mayor and City Commission approve the resolution
accepting the recommendations of the Neighborhood and Quality of Life Committee at its
February 3, 2020 meeting, and approving the proposed concepts of the 23 Street Complete
Streets Feasibility Study, excluding bicycle lanes between Liberty Avenue and the east side of
Collins Avenue, the shared use path improvements between the east side of Collins Avenue
and the Beachwalk, and the lane reduction on 23 Street in the eastbound direction, as originally
proposed in the concept plan.
Should the City Commission approve the above recommendation, the Administration will
advance the 23 Street Complete Street project to the design and permitting phase using
existing G.O. Bond Tranche 1 funds programmed for this project. There are also opportunities
for efficiencies by integrating and constructing portions of the 23 Street Complete Street project
as part of the active Collins Park Garage Project. However, time is of the essence given the
ongoing construction of the Collins Park Garage improvements.
Update since the February 3. 2020 Neighborhood and Quality of Life Committee
At the February 3, 2020 Neighborhood and Quality of Life Committee meeting, the Committee
approved the proposed 23 Street Complete Streets Feasibility Study, excluding bicycle lanes
between Liberty Avenue and the east side of Collins Avenue, and the shared-use path
improvements between the east side of Collins Avenue and the Beachwalk.
Based on concerns with the safety of pedestrians and bicyclists crossing at the Collins Avenue
Page 325 of 435
and 23 Street intersection, on February 11, 2020, Miami Beach Transportation and Mobility
Department staff met with FDOT representatives to discuss ways to improve intersection
safety. FDOT agreed to consider an exclusive pedestrian phase at the intersection, subject to
adoption of a resolution by the City Commission. As such, a resolution urging FOOT to
expedite the implementation of an exclusive pedestrian phase at this intersection is on the
March 18 City Commission meeting agenda. An exclusive pedestrian phase will make this
intersection safer to cross by allocating a specific phase within the traffic signal cycle wherein all
vehicular traffic stops on red. and pedestrians/bicyclists automatically receive the walk symbol to
cross the intersection in the east-west and north-south directions concurrently with no need to
push a button. However, in order to reduce the anticipated additional delay to vehicles as a
result of the exclusive pedestrian phase, the existing lane configuration along 23 Street and at
the Collins Avenue intersection must remain as-is (i.e. no lane reduction in the eastbound
direction as originally proposed in the concept plan); otherwise, the intersection level of service
will worsen significantly.
Additionally, since the NQLC meeting, City staff from multiple departments met on two
occasions with a representative of the Palm Court property, located at 309 23 Street, who had
concerns with the proposed panting, valet, and freight loading zone in front of the property.
Attachment 1 depicts the revised concept plan which resulted from these meetings, including a
50'freight loading zone to the west of the Palm Court building (to serve the Valero gas station)
and a flexible 99'valet/parking area that accommodates five parking spaces in front of the Palm
Court building.
BACKGROUND/HISTORY
According to the 2019 City of Miami Beach Resident Survey, someone regularly rides a bicycle
in 47% of Miami Beach households; however, 62.5% of residents do not feel safe riding a
bicycle in Miami Beach. According to the same survey, 67% of residents feel either unsafe or
concerned when crossing intersections in Miami Beach. Specifically, 74% of residents feel that
drivers do not yield to pedestrians at intersections.
The adopted 2016 Miami Beach Transportation Master Plan (TMP) was built on a mode share
goal and modal prioritization strategy adopted by the City Commission via Resolution No. 2015-
29083 on July 8, 2015, which places pedestrians first;transit, bicycles, and freight second; and
private automobiles third.
The 23 Street Complete Street is a Priority 1 project in the TMP. The study area is bounded by
the Collins Park Canal to the north, 22 Street to the south, Pine Tree Drive/Dade Boulevard to
the west, and the Beachwalk to the east. The study area is within the Collins Park
neighborhood.
Complete Streets are streets designed to be safe and comfortable for all users, which include
pedestrians, bicyclists, motorists,and transit riders of all ages and abilities.
Key study dates include:
March 31, 2017—notice to proceed to Gannett Fleming
April 13, 2017—internal kick-off meeting
August 7, 2017 — public meeting #1 to introduce the 23 Street Complete Street Feasibility

December 9, 2019—letter of support from the East Coast Greenway Alliance
December 10, 2019 — resolution of support from the Miami-Dade Bicycle Pedestrian Advisory
Committee
Throughout the feasibility study process, there have been internal coordination meetings with
other city departments regarding the proposed improvements. Coordination with the Florida
Department of Transportation (F DOT) and Miami-Dade County Department of Transportation
and Public Works has also occurred consistently throughout the process given that 23 Street is
a collector roadway under the County's jurisdiction which intersects Dade Boulevard/Pine Tree
Drive (a County road)and Collins Avenue(an FDOT road).
Finally, please note that the 63 Street Complete Street project is being incorporated into the
planned FDOT project on Alton Road (from 43 Street to Allison Road) currently scheduled for
construction in 2023. Going forward, the 63 Street Complete Street project will be considered
as a separate project from the 23 Street Complete Street project, and the recommended
improvements for 63 Street will be presented to the Neighborhood and Quality of Life
Committee and the City Commission at a future meeting.
ANALYSIS
The goal of the 23 Complete Street project is to create a mobility blueprint for both 23 Street
and 22 Street that ensures safety and convenience for pedestrians, bicyclists, and transit users,
and addresses the current traffic operational issues on 23 Street in order to maximize its
economic development potential.
The proposed 23 Street Complete Street project includes:
• New green bicycle lanes on 23 Street from Dade Boulevard/Pine Tree Drive to Park Avenue,
on Park Avenue from 23 Street to 22 Street, and on 22 Street from Park Avenue to Collins
Avenue
• New green bicycle boxes at key intersections to improve safety of bicycle turning movements
• On-Street parking spaces on the south side of 22 Street and west side of Park Avenue
Page 327 of 435
between 22 and 23 Street will be absorbed by the new Collins Park Garage
• Enhanced shared-use paths to the Beachwalk at 23 Street and 22 Street
• New raised intersections to calm traffic and enhance pedestrian safety at Park Avenue/22
Street, Liberty Avenue/23 Street, and Liberty Avenue/22 Street
• A new traffic signal at the intersection of Park Avenue and 23 Street to reduce delays and
queueing on Park Avenue, reduce blocking of the intersection, and provide a signalized
pedestrian crosswalk
• Coordination between the proposed traffic signal at Park Avenue/23 Street and the existing
traffic signal at Dade Boulevard/23 Street to ensure traffic progression
• Signal timing optimization for the traffic signals at Collins Avenue/23 Street and Collins
Avenue/22 Street
• Exclusive pedestrian phases at the intersections of Collins Avenue/23 Street and Collins
Avenue/22 Street to improve pedestrian safety
Bicycle lane connectivity on Pine Tree Drive and Dade Boulevard is being evaluated as part of
separate feasibility studies which will be presented to the City Commission at a future date.
The 23 Street Complete Street concept plan video,as originally proposed, can be viewed at:
https://wwwyoutube.com/watch?v=KexbbzrGoRk&feature youtu.be
Community Outreach
Staff visited 12 neighborhood businesses within the project area and met with most of the
property owners or their representatives, including the One Hotel, the W Hotel, local nightclubs,
Miami City Ballet, and Miami-Dade Public Library to present the proposed concepts and gauge
support for the 23 Street Complete Street project.
There was general support for the project; however, the following concerns were expressed by
the community during the outreach:
• Placement of bicycle lanes on 23 Street
• Bicycle and pedestrian safety crossing the Collins Avenue/23 Street intersection
• Narrow width of the existing path between the One Hotel/Roney Plaza and the W Hotel which
provides access to the Beachwalk
• Need to improve the aesthetics of the fixed bridge at Dade Boulevard/23 Street
• Operation of the proposed traffic signal at 23 Street/Park Avenue which will be in close
prodmity to the existing traffic signal at 23 Street/Dade Boulevard
• Impacts to traffic flow given the reduction of one lane in the eastbound direction
Of note is the support from the bicycling and pedestrian community for the project, including the
East Coast Greenway Alliance (attachment 2)and the Miami-Dade Bicycle-Pedestrian Advisory
Committee(attachment 3).
Community Input
Extensive community input was gathered throughout the process and incorporated into the study
recommendations, including:
• A speed table (raised intersection) at the intersection Park Avenue and 22 Street, which was
preferred by the community instead of the roundabout originally proposed
• Relocation of the entrance of the Collins Park Garage from Park Avenue to Liberty Avenue
• Flexible parking zone in front of the Palm Court building to incorporate on-street parking and
valet operations
• Exclusive pedestrian phase at the intersection of Collins Avenue and 23 Street to improve the
safety of bicyclists and pedestrians crossing at this intersection
Page 328 of 435.
Concept Plan Benefits
The recommended 23 Street Complete Street concept plan will:
• Improve aesthetics and accessibility to important cultural attractions, hotels,and the Beachwalk
for residents and visitors
• Promote economic development in the study area, as research has consistently shown that
property values and retail sales increase after installation of bicycle lanes, pedestrian
amenities,and traffic calming in a neighborhood
• Improve safety for all users by providing for all modes of transportation in the study area,
because all roadway users will have a dedicated space
• Improve pedestrian safety by implementing exclusive pedestrian phases
• Improve intersection operations through the addition of a new traffic signal and signal
optimization
• Calm vehicular traffic and improve pedestrian safety by installing raised
intersections/crosswalks
• Implement an important complete street and bicycle network project recommended in the
adopted 2016 Miami Beach Transportation Master Plan
Costs
The planning level cost estimate for the 23 Street Complete Street project, as recommended in
the final draft feasibility study is approximately $2 million. It is worth highlighting that this
estimate does not account for any potential cost savings that could be generated by including
some of the improvements as part of the Citys active Collins Park Garage project, which is the
Administration's goal.
I mplementation
General Obligation Bond funding in the amount of $1.5 million has been allocated for this
project. Given that most of the above improvements could be implemented as part of the active
Collins Park Garage project, savings in design and construction costs are anticipated. Any
unfunded components could be implemented in a future phase.
CONCLUSION
The proposed 23 Street Complete Street improvements support the City's adopted modal
hierarchy and its vision to be a people-first city where the pedestrian is prioritized in mobility
options. Additionally, the proposed improvements will help mitigate the community's expressed
concerns with pedestrian and bicycle safety as reflected in the 2019 Miami Beach Resident
Survey.
Based on extensive community outreach, input, and collaboration, the Administration has
developed and refined a complete street concept plan for 23 Street that enhances safety and
mobility for all users of the roadway— pedestrians, bicyclists, transit users, and motorists — and
increases the potential for economic growth.

RE: 23rd Street Complete Streets Project
Board of Tru5tee5
Dear Ms.Westin,
=-} The East Coast Greenway Alliance enthusiastically supports the City of Miami
Beach's Complete Streets alternative for 23rd Street. The 23rd Street Complete
Streets project would expand transportation options for the region and enhance
Tor-R-1,1•:0 vA the trail network that includes the Miami Beach section of the East Coast •
i _ • ;::: Greenway, a developing 3,000-mile traffic-separated bicycling and walking path
3^7.Tconnecting communities from Maine to Florida.
Advisory Board The project fits within Miami Beach's goals of reducing congestion, providing
:.: :•'-.... .. more travel options, increasing safety and accessibility for residents,visitors,and
business owners. Through the use of buffered bicycle lanes, curb extensions,
N_°'„,„ii. eI VA designated pedestrian spaces, and wider sidewalks, a more complete network is
established providing safer and more convenient access to surrounding areas
A`” 34. and the beach. The project would create a safe connection to the East Coast
Greenway in Miami Beach, a viable alternative transportation option to help
reduce congestion by offering residents a safe means for getting to work by bike
or on foot.
In 2017,the East Coast Greenway Alliance commissioned a study to quantify
Puny ri•F I.
what we know anecdotally:greenways are good for economic growth. The Alta
tie..._, ;;.. _, :'.:; Planning+Design report finds that the East Coast Greenway generates $90
million in total benefits annually for the Triangle region of North Carolina,from
improvements in health and the environment,transportation benefits, direct
economic gains,and increased property values.
The 23rd Street Complete Streets project would increase access to the Greenway
ME in Miami Beach,increasing mobility for residents and visitors.

Sincerely,
Er,r "J;)4 ' 14141
