City of Miami Beach Resolution 2022-32294
Dear Mr. Granado:
SECRETARY
The Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) is in receipt of the City of Miami Beach
(City) Resolution 2022 -32294 requesting the implementation of southbound dual right tum lanes
along SR AlA/Indian Creek onto westbound 41st Street. To further evaluate the request, FDOT
will perform a traffic analysis for all intersections along Arthur Godfrey Road/ 41st Street
between SR 907/Alton Road and SR AlA/Collins Avenue and along SR AlA/lndian Creek
Drive between 41st Street and 47th Street.
If determined to be feasible, FDOT will include the improvements as part of the resurfacing
project, FM 443931-1 State Road AlA/Collins Avenue from 44 Street to 4700 Block & Indian
Creek from 41 Street to 44 Street. Although this project is currently in the final stages of design,
the Department will defer the completion to accommodate the improvements. If deferred, it is
anticipated construction will begin Summer 2024 . Since this anticipated construction schedule
falls within the Miami Beach tourist season, the City will need to provide FDOT with written
confirmation of the proposed construction timeframe.
If the tum lanes are to be implemented, FDOT will need to obtain a City commitment for the
execution of a perpetual easement. This easement will be required to install a mast arm on City
property at the northwest comer oflndian Creek Drive and 41st Street. The letter is needed to
keep the project on schedule while FDOT and the City work towards the execution of the
easement.
