The performance of public spaces at eye level and a ‘people- oriented’ focus is the starting point of this project. This guides our approach to understanding how 41st Street can become a physically and socially resilient place for people.

To understand the design needs of 41st Street, we conducted a snapshot Public Space, Public Life (PSPL) survey at five locations, at three times of day, on a weekday. We observed life: where people walk, bike, and spend time along the street, and their age and gender. And we analyzed space to understand how the built environment contributes to social activity. We looked at how safe it is to cross, how protected one is from the sun, and where local identity is present, among other features. Moving forward, a comprehensive PSPL should be done on both a weekday and weekend, along the entire street, as well as on adjacent streets and intersections, such as 42nd and 40th Streets. 41ST STREET PUBLIC LIFE & PUBLIC SPACE JUNE 2018 Part 3 Urban Quality Criteria EnjoymentProtection Comfort I feel safe from traffic-related accidents I feel secure from crime and violence I feel protected against unpleasant sensory experiences You can easily walk or cycle There are places to stand for a rest There are places to comfortably sit There are plenty of things to look at The space relates to my (human) scale The space allows me to enjoy the positive aspects of climate I like the aesthetic qualities and sensory experiences I could easily have a conversation There are opportunities to play or exercise Consider how you feel on 41st Street, when not in a car.

While crosswalks and mid-block crossings exist, crosswalk waiting times on 41st are too long. People jaywalk to shorten their journey. Shorter waiting times and more opportunities to cross will enhance the walking experience and reduce risky crossing behavior. At some crosswalks on 41st the wait time is 10 minutes! This is equivalent to adding 10 blocks to people’s walks! Land Use Committee Presentation, 11-28-18 Miami Beach 41st Street Vision 41 Where are people staying on 41st Street?

Currently, there are few optional activities - activities people choose to participate in when they have free time, such as socializing, playing, and eating and drinking outside. Staying Activities: People are In and Out Everyday life People who live, run errands or work in the area Passers-by People pass through the area on their way to do something else Recreational life Residents or visitors visit to play or be entertained Event visitors People who come because of an activity, such as a concert or farmers market Visitors Visit to destinations and special functions Necessary activities are happening Optional activities are not — but people want them Land Use Committee Presentation, 11-28-18 Miami Beach 41st Street Vision 47 Findings Space Land Use Committee Presentation, 11-28-18 Miami Beach 41st Street Vision 48 The 12 Urban Quality Criteria are a way to discuss a hierarchy of needs in a space. Without basic protection from cars, noise, rain, and wind, people will avoid spending time in a space. Without elements that make walking, standing, sitting, seeing, and conversing comfortable, a place won’t invite people to spend time there. Finally, a great place distinguishes itself by including elements that invite people to be active and make use of the positive aspects of microclimate and human scale. This assessment is a snapshot in time based on existing conditions.

How To Do It • Protect riders from rain and sun at existing bus stops • Provide seating • Leverage bus shelters as places that can also provide neighborhood amenities, such as bike parking, bike pumps, public seating, or vending • Create playful branding What Success Looks Like • More people riding the bus • Bus stops become places for people to sit and spend time on the street The City is currently redesigning bus stops.
