Traffic circulation for the Collins Avenue/63rd to 77th Streets Corridor: Analysis of short term
solutions to improve traffic flow, including but not limited to look at adding loading zones, lanes of
traffic, removing parking one side of the street and looking at corridor from the mobility point of
view. This item to be placed on the May discussion agenda.
1. A1A/Collins Avenue @ 72nd Street: Board endorsed short-term recommendations and
added to re-paint faded pavement markings.
2. A1A/Collins Avenue @ 75th Street: Board endorsed short-term recommendations and
modified enforcement over illegal parking by limiting delivery hours and step up illegal parking
enforcement.
3. Pine Tree Drive @ 41st Street: Board endorsed replacing pedestrian signal with countdown
signals, refurbishing pavement markings on NOB approach and extending the length of the left-turn
bay; advised that a left-turn sign restriction at Walgreens exit may not be enforceable.
4. Come back to discuss the following: 1) 41st Street Corridor – without limiting any options; 2)
Alton Road/17th Street/Dade Boulevard intersection; 3) 71st Street & Dickens/Indian Creek
intersection; 4) Harding Avenue/Indian Creek/72nd Street intersection; 5) 63rd to 77th Street/Collins
Avenue corridor (to be presented at the May meeting). The other intersections/corridors to come
back in 60 days – June meeting – and possibly start the meeting at noon.
Presentation by the consultant on the 16th Street study: Major issue: roadway is very wide and
missing a focal point at west end.
Board issues and comments:
• Process seems backwards – design before traffic.
• Tree canopy absolutely necessary – should be enhanced.
• Strongly supports the version that removes encroachments in order to add more trees.
• Supports the removal of angle parking.
• Supports bike paths.
• Continuity of design of the lighting fixtures.
• Colored intersections look pretty, but may become a maintenance nightmare.
• Evaluate feasibility, maintenance, repair and replacements---
• Acorn lights glare and may be a problem – look at solutions or alternative designs to the
glaring issue.
* * *
• MXE zoning specific to Ocean Terrace – incentivizing certain uses; looking at commercial
uses and discuss what restrictions, if any, relative to allowable uses. (Backup discussion if
time permits)
Insufficient time for discussion of this item. It is on the regular schedule in the Work Plan for the
August meeting.
