Petition to Repeal Resolution 90-819.
We hereby demand that the City of Miami Commission repeal Resolu-
tion 90-819. The Commission had no right to adopt a resolution to
appease residents of 28th street and 27thy lane. The commission
was negligent at best in passing a resolution like this after
highway Engineers, The Miami police department, and the Miami
fire department all indicated the plan was irrational, senseless,
and dangerous. The plan has turned 27th way into a thorough-
fare. All local traffic has no choice but to travel trough 27th
way since it was left as the only entrance into the neighborhood.
Also the plan has failed miserably at reducing traffic flora be-
tween 22 and 27th avenues The only thing they accomplished is
to rout the traffic up 27th way and other streets.

SUEUECT:110ne-Way" traffic Signs in
the North Coconut Grove

FROM : REFERENCES:
Cesar H. Odio
City Manager .. ENCLOSUR&S01ution, Amended
Plan "B", Department Comments
RECOMMENDATION:
It is respectfully recommended that the City Commission adopt the
attached Resolution authorizing the permanent installation of
"one-way" traffic regulatory signs in the North Coconut Grove
"Overbrook" Neighborhood in accordance with Amended Plan "B".
BACKGROUND:
Responding to neighborhood residents' concerns about undesirable
traffic intrusion into the '"Overbrook" neighborhood, bounded by
S.W. 22 and 27 Avenues and by South Dixie Highway and S.W. 28
Street, the City Commission approved Resolution No. 90-308 on
April 12, 1990 urging Metropolitan Dade County to install "one-
way" traffic regulatory signs in accordance with Amended Plan
" B
Metropolitan Dade County initially denied this request, however,
after further investigation of traffic conditions in the
neighborhood and other less desirable alternatives, including
barricades, reconsidered their position and approved implementing
Amended Plan "B" on a trial basis. On October 18, 1990 the City
Commission approved Resolution No. 90-819 recommending that
Amended Plan "B" be implemented on a ninety (90) day trial basis.
Metropolitan Dade County completed installation of the traffic
regulatory signs contained in the plan on December 3, 1990. The
City's Police Department has been rigorously enforcing the "one-
way" regulations and between December 3, 1990 and February 14,
1991 have written 52 summonses for violation of the "one-way"
restrictions.
The end of the ninety (90) day trial period has elapsed and it is
now in order to discuss the permanent implementation of Amended
Plan "B", as currently posted in the neighborhood.
The neighborhood property owners were notified by mail on
February 14, 1991 of the public hearing. The Police, Fire,
Rescue and InsPection Services, Solid Waste and Public Works
Departments have :valuated the effects of the restrictions on
their various operations and have no problem with the
restrictions contained in Amended Plan "B".
