A RESOL~ON OF THE MAYOR AND CITY COMMISSION OF THE
CITY OF MIAMI BEACH, FLORIDA, APPROPRIATING FUNDS IN THE
AMOUNT OF $470,000 FROM MID-BEACH QUALITY OF LIFE FUNDS
FOR THE TRAFFIC CALMING ISLANDS LANDSCAPING PROJECT ON
PINE TREE DRIVE AND LA GORCE DRIVE.
TO:
FROM:
ADMINISTRATION RECOMMENDATION
Adopt the Resolution.
ANALYSIS:
Miami-Dade County has installed twenty-two (22) traffic-calming islands on Pine Tree Drive and
La Gorce Drive from 51" Street to 62nd Street. The County's plan for landscaping includes sod and
two Foxtail Palms per Median Island as part of a subsequent contract. The City, with the
community's input, would prefer a more substantial landscaping plan consisting of trees, shrubs,
groundcover, irrigation and uplighting, which would conform to all Miami-Dade County standards.
This item was reviewed by the Finance and Citywide Projects Committee and it was recommended
that the City vigorously pursue reimbursement of funds for the project from the County. The City
met with the Director of Dade County Public Works and staff. As result of this meeting, the County
has agreed to provide the City approximately $ 20,000, for the design and installation of landscaping
improvements (Attachment No I). Additionally, the County has installed sleeves for future irrigation
and uplighting of the islands.
City staffhas developed an estimate of probable construction cost in the amount of $470,000 for the
traffic calming islands landscaping enhancements (Attachment No.2). The landscape architecture
firm of Robert M. Mitchell III, ASLA, under the City rotational consultant contract, has initially met
with City staff to discuss preliminary design concepts.
The~dministra ion recommends approval of the attached Resolution.
