A\t Ct c~ lU,.( M- 1\ C II SCOPE OF SERVICES FOR "THE COASTAL COMMUNITIES TRANSPORTATION MASTER PLAN" INTRODUCTION/BACKGROUND: The City of Miami Beach, as a joint effort with its neighboring coastal communities in northeastern Miami-Dade County (City of Aventura, City of Sunny Isles Beach, Town of Bal Harbour Village, Town of Bay Harbor Islands, Town of Surfside, and City of North Bay Village) is interested in the -development of a transportation master plan that addresses traffic and transportation on the barrier islands, The goal of this plan is to produce short, mid, and long term multi-modal solutions to transportation issues, In the late 1990's the Miami Beach Municipal Mobility Plan (MMP) was developed to mitigate issues on Miami Beach, Most of the 44 projects recommended in this plan have already been implemented, or are undergoing different stages of implementation, Due to this success, this plan is in need of updating, To truly provide a higher level of planning, 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, What is done in one will have far reaching impacts, not only on each city's immediate neighbors, but on mainland Miami-Dade County, It is for this reason that a highly coordinated effort between the cities, FDOT, the Miami-Dade MPO, Miami-Dade County and the South Florida Regional Planning Council is needed, 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 will be analyzed, and projections made on future traffic loads will be created to establish a baseline for the comparison of alternatives, 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, It will make recommendations that will focus coordinated improvements, as well as promote the viability of alternate routes for commuters traveling from the northern barrier islands to the Downtown Miami area, It will involve local decision makers in the process, The coastal communities understand that the barrier islands are physically constrained. As demands on the transportation infrastructure increase, and capacity to manage traffic becomes further limited, the cross point between growth vs, available capacity is a parameter which must be derived when determining adequate sustainability through the region. Further, the socio- economic scenario, primarily as a function of traffic and related sustainable infrastructure, warrants a clear understanding to determine the most feasible and viable transportation strategy, This initial assessment would assist as a benchmark to derive further initiatives to address these issues, STUDY 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, SERVICES 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, The following are key aspects to this task, · Steering Committee · Stakeholders · Community Workshops · Agency Meetings Task 2: Data Collection and Analysis Prior to actual new data collection, all previous reports will be reviewed and to every extent possible incorporated into the data collection and analysis process, Previous work will be used as a guide to the assignment of data collection efforts, Other reports and surveys at the county and regional level will be used to verify presumptions and findings, and to ensure that previous "holes" in the data are addressed, Further, 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 Plans recommendations, New traffic counts will be taken along each key transportation route, Data will be projected so that future impacts can be examined, It will be important to understand where current traffic is coming from and where it is going and understand obstacles to mobility that are encouraging commuter traffic along the barrier island instead of along North-South inland transportation corridors, The following sub tasks will be performed: · Examination of Previous and Ongoing Work · Examination of Concurrency Methodologies Utilized by Participating Municipality · Traffic counts · Truck Counts · Signal Timing · Origin/Destination Survey · Analysis: A three level analysis will be provided, showing existing conditions, and projected conditions ten and 25 years in the future, In addition three potential land use scenarios should be projected, These will represent light, medium and heavy future development. Programs should be: Synchro, SimTraffic, FSUTMS Analysis. Task 3: Needs Assessment The three level analyses mentioned above will point to various levels of need, for various modes both in and adjacent to the coastal communities, Identified needs will be organized into four categories, From this assessment a list of potential projects will be developed: · Alternative Mode · Capacity · Sustainable Community · Corridor Enhancement · Promoting Alternate Routes to Downtown Miami Task 4: Development of Potential Projects Each project will be conceptually developed. These projects will be in the coastal communities or on the mainland, This will entail the development of a project sheet for each project that provides: · Description of the project · Location · Cost · Planning · Design · Construction 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, END PRODUCTS: · Public Involvement Technical Memorandum · Assessment of Existing and Future Conditions Technical Memorandum · Project Bank · .
