PROFILE PRESENTATION
JULY 13, 1999
Allapattah is the proud home to some of the finest medical facilities in the US,
like Bascom Palmer Eye Institute, the University of Miami Jackson Memorial
Medical Center, the Sylvester Cancer Center, the Ryder Trauma Center, Cedars
of Lebanon Hospital and the Veterans Administration Hospital, these are bust a
few of the many outstanding diagnostic, treatment and research facilities in the
area, attracting patients and distinguished physicians from all over the world.
In Allapattah you will find the Civic Center, a seat of local, county and state
governmental agencies. Dade Criminal Justice Building, Dade County Jail, the
Public Health Department are found steps away from each other. Also, there are
several centers of education in Allapattah, Lindsey Hopkins Adult Education
Center, Miami Dade School of Medicine, and Miami Jackson High School.
The 20th Street merchant's corridor, between 27th and 17th Avenues, is now
famous for its multiple garment manufacturing and wholesale outlets attracting
buyers and exporters from all over, especially from Latin America and the
Caribbean. Nearby, the Produce market, the largest open air food distribution
center in Miami, serves local supermarkets and "bodegas" alike with the
freshest variety of South Florida produce, tropical fruits and many other
products.
Allapattah is the largest industrial area in the City. Many trades are well
represented in this area, and a wide range of services are offered: clothes
manufacturers, auto repair shops, paint and body shops, carpentry and
upholstery shops, junkyards, shipyards, and dry-docks located along the banks
of the Miami River.
Allapattah has helped bring stability to this neighborhood, as well as contributed
to the revitalization of the area by improving the physical, economic, and social
conditions.
The Allapattah neighborhood has benefited from the many municipal and social
services offered by NET. By working together with the Minimum Housing
Agency, Allapattah NET has helped improve the conditions of many tenants
living in subminimal housing standards. To encourage merchants to make
improvements in the area, the 20th Street Merchants Association was created
with the support of Allapattah NET. Extra police has been assigned to this
commercial corridor greatly reducing crime. Allapattah NET has also cleared
the area of abandoned vehicles and has considerably reduced illegal mechanical
repairs in this neighborhood

4. Recommendations
A series of recommended solutions are proposed for the existing problems within the Allapattah
Produce Area. The criteria followed in developing the proposed solutions were as follows:
• proposed solutions should be relatively easy to implement within a short time frame,
• proposed solutions should minimize or eliminate any right-of-way takings,
• proposed solutions should not infringe on the economic viability of the. area,
• proposed solutions should enhance the character of the residential neighborhood,
• proposed solutions should take into account the social aspocts of the area.
Some of the proposed solutions are illustrated in Figure 12 and include: traffic flow modifications,
signage, rest area, farmers market, and miscellaneous.
4.1 Traffic Flow Modifications
Modifications to traffic circulation patterns apply to locations with cut -through traffic, safety
concerns, accidents, and traffic noise. These modifications can include border landscaping
treatment, law enforcement, movement restrictions, one-way streets, and street closures. In the
case of the Allapattah Produce Area, modifications to the street network shall be used to reduce
truck traffic through. the residential neighborhood and improve safety throughout the area. in
order to improve the quality of life and safety of the residents in Allapattah, several access
restriction scenarios have been developed. Proposed traffic flow modifications in the Produce
Market Area addressing the traffic problems encountered include:
• one-way streets - NW 23'd Street and NW 22"d Street, and
• street closures of NW 24th Street, NW 151h Avenue, and NW 13`h Avenue.
The traffic data was analyzed to test these different scenarios along with other measures.
4.1.2 One -Way Streets
One of the concerns within the area is the safety issue raised by trucks maneuvering on two-way
streets. During the field visits, very large trucks were observed in many occasions blocking the
two-way traffic on both sides of the streets.
A one-way pair would reduce the amount of traffic in comparison to the existing two-way street
operation. A look at the street network and cluster of high activity within the area resulted in NW
22'd Street between NW 15`h and NW 12'h Avenues, and NW 21°1 Terrace between NW 17'h and
NW 12'h Avenues, being the best candidates for a one-way pair operation. These two roadways
provide access to a few of the major and most active warehouses in the area.
One-way operation was not recommended at other locations for the following reasons:
• NW 17'h and NW 12'" Avenues are major arterials connecting to major freeways,
4
Allapattah Produce Area Study . 21
Final Report 15C44CS"'s-,
I • NW 141h Avenue is continuous through the area and beyond and is essential in providing
north -south travel through the area,
{ NW 13'h Avenue cannot be a one-way street without NW 14`h Avenue also a one-way street,
which provides north -south travel.
• NW 20th Street is a major street collector providing east -west travel through a significant
portion of the county,
• NW 213' Street as a one-way street would force patrons onto the Metrorail station parking
area and then to the intersection of NW 121h Avenue and NW 20th Street, increasing the delay
at that intersection.
4.1.3 Street Closure
Street closures work well to limit or eliminate neighborhood intrusion. In order to discourage
trucks from accessing the Allapattah Produce Area through the residential neighborhood, streets
closures are recommended at the following locations: NW 20 Street west of NW 12"' Avenue;
NW 13"' Avenue just north of NW 24"h Street; NW 15"' Avenue south of the railroad tracks;'and
NW 15'h Avenue north of NW 23`d Street. These closures can be implemented as a package or
individually.
Closing NW 24'h Street would prevent trucks coming from NW 12'h Avenue to go through the
residential neighborhood. The Ailapattah residents on the north side of the Produce Area will
have a somewhat circuitous route to get to their homes, but the benefits will be reduced noise and
truck traffic on NW 24'h Street, especially very early in the morning.
Based on field visit observations, main access to the warehouses abutting NW 24th Avenue is
from NW 23`d Street, therefore, access to these establishments will remain the same as existing.
Trucks would be forced to turn into the Produce Market Area from NW 12"' Avenue to NW 23`d
Street and southwards. The parking spaces and landscaping along the curb on the south side of
NW 24"' Street between NW 14'h Avenue and NW 13'h Avenue could also be duplicated on the
south side of NW 24th Street between NW 13'h Avenue and NW 12`" Avenue.
This closures at NW 15'h Avenue and NW 131h Avenue would certainly limit truck traffic through
the neighborhood and offers the City an opportunity for landscaping and/or additional parking
spaces for the Produce Market Area. These closures would not exclude the one-way pairing
scheme proposed for the area and does not have negative impacts on the overall traffic
circulation in the area.

4.1.4 No Parking Areas
No parking areas have been recommended on NW 13"' Avenue between NW 22"d Street and NW
21 "' Terrace. No parking is suggested so that access would be readily available to the newly
placed trash bins situated on the eastern side of NW 13'h Avenue.
4.1.5 Loading Zone Areas
Loading zone areas have been designed for the establishments on NW 23rd Street just west of
NW 141h Avenue. These are for the mobility of traffic throughout NW 23'd-Street.
Before these recommendations can be implemented, the impacts to emergency vehicle access
and other elements need to be carefully examined and analyzed. Appendix C has an example of
the process involved in a street closure.
4.2 Signage
A comprehensive signage program would help reduce the amount of trucks going through the
residential neighborhood north of the Produce Market Area. Currently, heavy vehicles account for
six percent of the total volume traveling through the residential neighborhood to the produce
market area on NW 13 Avenue alone. Although this does not represent an excessive percentage
In itself, these trucks tend to use the residential streets very early in the morning raising the noise
level in the neighborhood. Signs labeled: "No Truck Traffic" should be posted at the entrance of
the following streets:
• Along the west side of NW 121h Avenue at each intersection between NW 36'h Street to NW
24'h Street,
• Along the east side of NW 17'h Avenue at each intersection between NW 36'h Street to NW
24'h Street, and
• Along the south side of NW 36'h Street at each intersection between NW 171h Avenue and NW
12'h Avenue.
Truck traffic would then be rerouted to NW 171h and NW 12`h Avenues. Based on the traffic
counts collected for this study, traffic operations along these avenues would not be severely
impacted by the additional truck traffic. The signage program also offers the City the opportunity
to enhance the character of the residential community. A special design, or logo, could be added
to the set the residential neighborhood apart from the commercial areas.
4.3 Rest Area
As seen from the field visits and from discussions with the City of Allapattah Neighborhood
Enhancement Team, the Produce Area serves a vast region. Truckers get to the area early in the
morning to unload their cargo. At a few locations, heavy trucks were seen parked on the streets
for an extended period of time while the drivers rest. Providing a rest area, would therefore

eliminate this problem and free up the much needed space on the narrow streets through the
neighborhood.
The Produce Area is completely built -out and acquiring right-of-way to build a rest area could be
cost prohibitive. An alternate solution to purchasing right-of-way would be to enter Into an
agreement with Miami -Dade Transit Authority to use a portion of the Santa Clara Station parking
lot. This Metrorail station is located on the northwest cornet of the intersection of NW 20"' Street
and NW 12'h Avenue, at the southeastern edge of the Allapattah Produce Area. Most of the
patrons using this station do not use the parking facility, which is for the most part. vacant. The
parking lot could therefore be reconfigured into a rest area for the truckers. Vehicles would be
allowed to enter from NW 131h Avenue north of NW 201h Street and exit through NW 21a, Street. In
order to minimize congestion and disruption to traffic on NW 121h Avenue, trucks would only be
permitted to turn right from NW 21" Street onto NW 12'h Avenue. Existing data shows that NW
21" Street could handle the additional truck traffic as only a total of 19 trucks used that road
based on the daily counts that were performed.
Before this recommendation can be implemented, further information such as plans of the Santa
Clara Station parking lot, need to be gathered and analyzed.
4.4 Farmers Market Area
The Allapattah Produce Area is a thriving community bringing its fare share to the Miami -Dade
County economy. To enhance this aspect of the area and also regulate street vendor operations,
the area would be ideal for a farmers market. From the field visits, several locations that are
currently vacant or abandoned may be transformed into an area where vendors could set-up
booths and sell produce. Two potential sites were identified, one on the southeast corner of NW
17'h Avenue and NW 22"d Street, and the other on the northwest corner of NW 15'h Avenue and
NW 21°' Terrace. These locations are easily accessed through NW 17"' Avenue, which is a major
arterial throughout the county. In addition, transit service is already provided to these sites
through either bus or rail. Further investigation will be needed for the right-of-way acquisition of
these properties. Simple booths or stalls could be constructed for the farmers market and these
would be rented out to vendors.
Farmers markets traditionally have performed a role in attracting additional investments to the
areas where they are located. Such investments include both economic and social (creation of
parks and playgrounds). Successful farmers markets include Haymarket in Boston, Los Angeles
Farmers Market, Firehouse Farmers Market in Philadelphia, and a newly constructed one in
Dallas. The Dallas Farmers Market included the construction of a 30,000 square foot, all weather
farmers vending shed with a truck dock for direct loading into sales area, parking, separate floral
vending area, and pedestrian kiosk plaza for food service, extensive hardscape, landscaping, and
Irrigation systems were provided to enhance the pedestrian ways leading to the market area. The
location of the Allapattah Produce Area also makes it ideal for a farmers market, being a few
minutes away by rail to the Civic Center. A farmers market could attract patrons from this high
employment major medical center. A market and a financial analysis study would need to be
done to further investigate the viability and the funding of this establishment.

4.5 Reduction of Illegal Dumping
One of the impacts of produce being left on the streets is that as they deteriorate, they leak into
the storm drainage system and contaminate runoffs from the watershed area. The Environmental
Protection Agency (EPA) performed site visits in the area and their findings are documented in a
report. Based on these findings, the Agency recommendation that a National Pollutant Discharge
Elimination System (NPDES) permit is needed for the area. Facility operator permits would
depend on several factors such as, how many dumpsters are being provided, the frequency of
garbage pickups, amount of garbage, location of dumping sites, and whether or not these sites
are secured and locked. Merchants would be fined if found in violation of.the permits. Thirty-eight
facilities were inspected in the produce market area. According the Standard Industrial
Classification (SIC) code, two pallet *businesses were identified as requiring NPDES permits.
Other facilities besides the produce facilities, such as the recycling establishments in the
Aliapattah Produce Area, may also require NPDES permits since they also contribute to the
pollution problem.
The operators of the railroad tracks can also provide help by maintaining the area along the
railroad tracks. Maintenance within their property right-of-way may consist of weekly visits to
clean the area. If NW 1 3'" Avenue is closed to traffic north of NW 22"' Street as proposed by the
CSX Railroad Authority, the area north and south of the tracks should be reconfigured to include
landscaping and parking similar to the existing design on NW 240' Street facing the residential
neighborhood.
This study identified locations where produce was left on the streets. At locations where no
dumpsters are provided, new dumpsters should be placed. At locations where dumpsters are
already provided, it may be necessary to increase the size and number of these dumpsters. The
sizes of existing dumpsters may also need to be increased or additional dumpsters required at
locations highlighted on Tablel.

5. Conclusion
The Allapattah Produce Area has evolved over the years to become a strong economic figure
within Miami -Dade County. Because the area was not originally designed for the type of vehicles
that are currently using the area, traffic problems have surfaced. Over the years, delivery trucks
have increased in size, requiring wider roads and turning radii. Some of the congestion
experienced in the area stems from the actual geometry of the roadways.. However, changing the
roadway geometry would require extensive right-of-way, be cost prohibitive, and would actually
eliminate the land uses which contribute to the economic success of the Allapattah Produce Area.
This is why the recommendations proposed by this study focus more on practical and feasible
solutions that would:
• reduce illegal dumping by providing additional trash bins in areas where dumping was
observed,
• alleviate congestion within the area through traffic flow modifications (one-way streets and
closures),
• improve parking through signage, especially on the east side of NW 13t' Avenue,
• improve lighting within the produce Area,
• reduce truck intrusion through the residential neighborhood through street closures and
signage,
• provide for a Farmers Market,
• provide a holding and/or rest area at the existing Santa Clara Metrorail Station,
• and improve safety.
These recommendations do however require a high level of enforcement in order to have long-
lasting impact in the area. It is recommended that within three months of the improvements being
implemented the City of Allapattah review the problem sites to see if progress has been made.
Most of the monitoring could be done through site visits. A visual site survey should be needed
for example to compare the number and locations of illegal dumping before and after increasing
the number and size of the dumpsters. Other studies would be needed to monitor the impacts of
some of the proposed recommendations. Traffic counts would be needed within three to six
months to measure the impacts of the proposed traffic flow modifications, signage and street
closures. An inventory of truck activity and parking at the Santa Clara Station would be needed to
measure the impact of the proposed rest area on truck traffic at that location, parking within the
Allapattah Produce Area, and parking and safety issues at the station itself. Coordination with the
EPA is also inherent to monitor any reduction of the level of pollutants in the area.
