ADMINISTRATION RECOMMENDATION:
The Administration recommends that the City Commission adopt a
Resolution endorsing the 1994 Transportation Improvement Plan (TIP)
of the Metropolitan Planning Organization (MPO) as it affects Miami
Beach with two changes: -
1. that the Venetian Bridge project be classified as a
restaratio*!, not a replacement;
2. that the National Highway designation be altered as discussed
in the accompanying Commission Memorandum, Item No. R-7-~D ;
and refer the 1994 Transportation Improvement Plan of the
Metropolitan Planning Organization as it relates to Miami Beach to
the Capital Improvements Committee to begin discussions for future
TIPS. The Administration also recommends that County Commissioner
Bruce Kaplan be invited to attend the Capital Improvements
Committee meeting.
The Metropolitan Planning Organizationannually prepares its
Transportation Improvement Plan. Within that document are the
specific projects for Miami Beach. A list of these projects for
Miami Beach is attached for your information. The list represents
a significant change from previous Transportation Improvement Plans
in that Miami Beach's projects are accelerated in~time and there
are more of them. This is a direct ~tesult of numerous discussions
between the Administration and Commissioner Susan Gottlieb and .the
State of Florida Depar~cment of ~i~ransportation.
The list of Miami Beach projects in the Transportation Improvement
Plan is supported by the Administration. Many of these projects
are familiar to Commissioners from previous discussions, and many
will involve extensive discussions and direction on specifics from
the City Commission. The Administration recommends that the list
be endorsed with two changes:
'1. ~ $
-1- AGENDA R _
ITEM~1
DATE
1. that the Venetian Bridge project be classified as a
restoration, not a replacement;
2. that the National Highway designation be altered as discussed
in the accompanying Commission Memorandum, Item No. R-7.F.;
Now that we have a Transportation Coordinator on board, the City is
in a better position to input the process. The current
Transportation Improvement Plan is scheduled to be considered by
the Metropolitan Planning Organization's Board at its May 6th
meeting. The Administration's efforts will be focused on adding
projects to next year's Transportation Improvement Plan for which
the process really begins now. The Capital Improvement Committee's
discussions and review of the current Transportation Improvement
Plan will help us prioritize new projects for future Transportation
Improvement Plans.
County Commissioner Bruce Kaplan will be invited to attend the
Capital Improvements Committee so that he can understand more
clearly the concerns of the City of Miami Beach. The
Administration has contacted his office regarding the pending
appointment of Commissioner Gottlieb to the Metropolitan Planning
organization as well.
CONCLUSION
The City Commission should endorse the Resolution and -refer
discussion of future Transportaiton Improvement Plans to the
Capital Improvements Committee for review and comment.
