ANALYSIS
Approximately two years ago, the City began collecting concurrency mitigation funds from the
permitted development/redevelopment or change in use projects for Ocean Drive. The purpose of
these funds was to implement transportation projects that would help improve mobility and to better
manage traffic congestion in and around the Ocean Drive area.
After holding several meetings with local stakeholders (including residental representatives), the
City proposed a Traffic Management Plan for Ocean Drive, which was formally approved and
endorsed by resolution ofthe Ocean Drive Improvement Association, meeting on November 14,
2000. The Plan includes three Action Step items designated to solve specific problems, as follows:
Action Step I. Installation of Siilnage
Objective: Reduce the peak-hour directional split along Ocean Drive, which presently is
80% northbound and 20% southbound. This heavy directional movement contributes
significantly to the traffic delays and congestion along the corridor during the evening peak
hours,
AGENDA ITEM f<...l G-
DATE fl- 2D -00
Commission Memorandum - 12/20/00
Traffic Management Plan/Ocean Drive, Page 2
Solution: Implementation of left-turn restrictions on side street approaches (Right Turn
Only) onto Ocean Drive from 7th, 8th, 9th, 10th, 11th and 12th Streets. These turn
restrictions will be enforced during peak times only, Thursdays through Sundays, from 10:00
p.m. to 4:00 a.m.
Funding: Signage preparation and installation will be done by the City utilizing $3,000 in
Ocean Drive Mitigation Program funds, which need to be appropriated for the purpose.
Action Step II - Installation of Traffic Signals
Ob,iective: Reduce the number of vehicles accessing Ocean Drive via 5th Street and 10th
Street and create alternative points for easy entry. These two intersections require a great
deal of police resources to manage the large number of vehicle and pedestrian movements.
Solution: InstalIation of two (2) new traffic signals along Ocean Drive, and two (2) on
Collins Avenue. The new traffic signals would be located at the following intersections: 7th
Street at Ocean Drive, and 11th Street at Ocean Drive; 7th Street at Collins Avenue, and
13th Street at Collins Avenue. The signal on Ocean Drive at 11th Street will be designed
with a lead left tuming arrow to facilitate northbound (Ocean Drive) to westbound (11th
Street) movement. This feature will be added also to the existing 10th Street traffic signal.
The installation of signals along Collins Avenue will be included as part of the Collins
Avenue (5th to 15th Street) project.
Funding: The Ocean Drive signals at 7th and II th Streets, as well as the addition of a lead
left-tum arrow at 10th Street, will be funded and implemented by Miami-Dade County's
Road Impact Fee Program. The Collins A venue signals will be funded and installed as part
of a Joint Participation Agreement (JP A) with the Florida Department of Transportation for
the Collins Avenue project, from 5th to 15th Street, scheduled for construction in 2002-03.
Action Step III - Introduction of Street Flow Modification Measures
Objective: Better control and management of vehicular traffic along the Ocean Drive corridor
during late night, weekends, and special events, as well as increased effectiveness of police
enforcement through the introduction of street flow modification measures.
Solution: Change certain east-west side streets to one direction, as a possible single lane
connector links, between Ocean Drive and Washington Avenue. The recommended changes
are as follows: 7th Street (eastbound) and 8th Street (westbound). The benifits and
opportunities for additional one-way pairs will be analyzed further, as part of the Collins
Avenue project.
Commission Memorandum - 12/20/00
Traffic Management Plan/Ocean Drive, Page 3
Fundinfl: These flow modifications are components of the scheduled FDOT project for
Collins Avenue, from 5th to 15th Street, therefore funded by the State under a JPA for the
project, which is schedule from construction in 2000-03.
As endorsed by the Ocean Drive Improvement Association on November 14,2000, and by the
Transportation and Parking Committee on December 4, 2000, the Administration recommends
approval of the Ocean Drive Traffic Management Plan and its enabling Resolution.
