ANALYSIS
The City of Miami Beach hosted a meeting of coastal communities on January 10, 2005
that included Aventura, Sunny Isles Beach, Bal Harbour, Bay Harbor Islands, Surfside, and
North Bay Village. It was agreed to submit a joint grant application to the Metropolitan
Planning Organization (MPO), for the funding and preparation of a "Coastal Communities
Transportation Master Plan," that was estimated to cost $275,000. The scope of the study
is attached.
On January 14, 2005, the Coastal Communities joint grant application was submitted by
Miami Beach to the 2006 Unified Planning Work Program (UPWP) of the MPO. The grant
application was not recommended for award by the UPWP Selection Committee. The
UPWP had only $140,000 in funds available, and ofthe thirteen (13) applications received,
only two were recommended for award: An "Arterial Grid Network Analysis," at $60,000;
and "Visioning the Future," at $80,000, both submitted by the MPO.
The MPO recommended that Miami Beach submit the Coastal Communities application
under their 2006 Municipal Grant Program (MGP), with a submission deadline of March 5,
2005. This grant program is funded at $150,000. The grant, if awarded, will require
$125,000 in matching funds.
In order to meet the March 5, 2005 MPO deadline, it is recommended that Miami Beach
(on behalf of the joint municipalities) express willingness to commit $125,000 in shared
local matching funds, if the grant is awarded. As a parallel effort, the Administration will
strive to collect the pro-rata share of the $125,000 local match from the coastal
communities involved in the study. Based on population distribution, one manner to
capture fair-share municipal contributions would be as follows:
Municipality Population Distribution Matching Funds
Aventura 26,142 17.3% $ 21,674
Bay Harbour Village 3,309 2.2% 2,743
Bay Harbor Islands 5,118 3.4% 4,243
Miami Beach 88,972 59.0% 73,766
North Bay Village 6,689 4.4% 5,546
Sunny Isles Beach 15,477 10.3% 12,832
Surfside 5,061 3.4% 4,196
Totals 150,768 100% $125,000
Other formulas may also be explored as the subject is discussed with the affected and
participating municipalities. There is no guarantee and there has been no advance
commitment from other coastal communities that they will agree to help fund this study.
Ifthe grant is awarded, the Administration will submit a future Agenda item recommending
the appropriation of the Miami Beach share of the matching funds.
The Administration recommends approval of the Resolution.

FY 2006 UNIFIED PLANNING WORK PROGRAM
TASK NUMBER AND TITLE: 4.13 MUNICIPAL GRANT PROGRAM
COASTAL COMMUNITIES TRANSPORTATION MASTER PLAN
OBJECTIVES:
. Study the existing and future sub-regional transportation network through extensive
data collection, analysis, and public involvement.
. Develop a multi-modal list of projects, designed to address identified needs based on
the scientific and subjective nature of the project.
. Quantify the cost of these projects, relative to their planning, design and construction.
. Prioritize the list of projects into an Implementable 10 year Coastal Communities
Transportation Master Plan.
. Achieve community consensus, and approval by each governing body involved.
. Enhance regional mobility, in a coordinated manner.
PREVIOUS WORK:
. In the late 1990's the Miami Beach Municipal Mobility Plan was developed through a
partnership between Miami Beach and the Metropolitan Planning Organization. Its
purpose was to examine multi-modal measures by which to mitigate mobility issues
on Miami Beach. The vast majority of the 45 projects recommended in this plan have
been implemented. Due to this success the plan is already in need of updating. To
truly provide a higher level of planning, it is believed that the Mobility Plan must be
expanded to examine transportation in coastal Miami-Dade County, in a more
coordinated and regional manner. It is recognized that the immediately affected
communities do not exist in a vacuum, and leadership and vision are needed to jointly
manage the transportation system in the area. What is done in one will have far
reaching impacts, not only on each cities immediate neighbors, but on mainland
Miami-Dade County. It is for this reason that a highly coordinated effort between the
affected cities, FDOT, the Miami-Dade MPO, Miami-Dade County and the South
Florida Regional Planning Council is needed.
METHODOLOGY:
. This effort strives to set an example as a targeted sub-regional attempt at
transportation planning which is multi-modal in nature. In doing so it is imperative to
produce a plan that is both scientific and personal in nature. Hard data derived from
traffic counts and analysis will be projected. Issues arrived at through accepted
methodologies will be supported through an extensive public involvement process.
The study will portray existing conditions and project conditions in the future, and
will provide a clear picture of the origin and destination of traffic affecting the coastal
communities, as traffic flows across the causeways. In addition realistic growth
projections will be developed in concert with the MPO, utilizing the future land use
maps and build-out scenarios of each city. It will make recommendations that will
focus coordinated improvements. It will involve local decision makers in the process.
Task 1: Public involvement
Engaging the public and incorporating public input is a multi-level process that
takes place consistently throughout the duration of the plan development. The
goal shall be community consensus, resulting in approval from each of the
governing bodies involved.
Task 2: Data Collection and Analysis
Previous work will be used as a guide to the assignment of data collection efforts.
Planning work will be coordinated with currently ongoing studies and projects
that will have direct and indirect impacts on the relevance and effectiveness of the
Master Plan's recommendations. Traffic counts will be taken along key
transportation routes. Data will be projected so that future impacts can be
examined. It will be important to understand the where current traffic is coming
from and where it is going, therefore an efficient and cost effective origin and
destination study will be developed.
Task 3: Needs Assessment
A three level analyses (intersection, corridor, regional) will point to various levels
of need, for various modes both in and adjacent to the coastal communities.
Identified needs will be organized into logical multi-modal categories. From this
assessment a list of potential projects will be developed.
Task 4: Development of Potential Projects
Each project will be conceptually developed. This will entail the formulation of a
project sheet for each project that details the project specifics, which will aid in
the prioritization process.
Task 5: Implementation Plan
The first section of this plan, the data and analysis is an effort to provide a
snapshot of future transportation issues and trends which will impact the study
area. The Master Plan should establish a vision for transportation and make
recommendations for meeting the identified needs. These needs will be met in the
second section of the plan, with the development of projects and Implementation
Plan.
