R9G-Discuss Traffic In North Beach -Steinberg-E MIAMIBEACH
OFFICE OF THE MAYOR AND COMMISSION
MEMORANDUM
TO: Jimmy Morales, City Manager
FROM: MickySteinberg,Commissioner
DATE: 2119120'15
SUBJECT: North Beach Traffic
Please place on the March 11,2015 City Commission agenda a discussion regarding
traffic in North Beach. As you are aware, traffic eongestion - especially during morning
and aftemoon rush hour - is of great concern affecting the quality of life of North Beach
Residents.
I would like staff to present options including how we could obtain a comprehensive
analysis (i.e., traffic counts and simulations) to optimize the timing of the lights from 63rd
to 72nd street and limit opening of the bridge during rush hour (similar to what has been
done downtown with the Miami River bridges).
I also believe it would be helpful to have a representative from the County (as they
control lights) and from the Coast Guard (as they control the draw bridge) there so we
can work together to reduce congestion.
Thank you!
lf you have any questions please do not hesitate to call our office.
