Odl City Manager Street and Lane Traffic Study Plan Maps The purpose of this discussion Item is to consider a "one-way" street traffic plan for Southwest 28 Street and Southwest 27 Lane in the Coconut Grove neighborhood and adopt a resolution urging Metropolitan Dade County to Install the proper traffic regulatory signs to accomplish the approved traffic plan. BACKGROUND: At the January 25, 1990 City Commission meeting, a group of citizens expressed concerns about undesirable traffic Intrusion Into their neighborhood bounded by South Dixie Highway, Southwest 28 Street, Southwest 22 Avenue and Southwest 27 Avenue. The City Commission directed the Department of Public Works to conduct a neighborhood meeting with the Coconut Grove citizens to develop a traffic control plan based on a "one-way" street system that would address their traffic Intrusion concerns. Enclosed is a location map showing the current daily traffic volumes within the neighborhood. On March 29, 1990 a property owner meeting was conducted by the Public Works Department to hear the citizens' traffic Intrusion concerns in their neighborhood and consider several recommendations for controlling traffic by "one-way" streets. After reviewing three "one-way" street traffic plans as shown In attachments labelled Plans "A", "B" and "C" and considering a fourth option to not Implement any plan, the citizens were polled to determine if they wished to proceed with some type of a traffic control plan. The results of the poll were as follows: Implement some type of traffic control plan: 35 Implement no rew traffic control plan: 20 Page 1 of 2 56,/ ti:4rPF -- 17,--1+17) THI_I Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Commlaalon F' _ a7� _ Since the concensus of the citizens was to Implement some type of traffic control plan, the Citizens were polled once again to determine which "one-way" street traffIC plan they prefer. The results of this poll were as follows: Plan "A"; 17 Plan "13" ; 27 Plan "C": 7 Plan "C", prepared by the Department of Public; Works, creates "one -wary" pairs of Southwest 28 Street and southwest 27 Lane, d i str I outing traffic volume and providing reasonable zac.:t.;Cas for the neighborhood residents. Plans "A" and "B" were presented by the residents in attendance at the property vwrrer meeting and are more restrictive with regard to neighborhood acc:Cass and Circulation. Should the City Commission wish to Implement one of the trafflt; plans presented, a resolution may be adopted urging Metropolitarn Dade County to Install the proper traffic regulatory signs to accornpllsh the traffic plan for a ninety (90) day trial period. The Installation of each traffic control sign costs approximately $183. Plan "A" requires approx. 8 signs; Plan "B" requires approx. 20 Signs; and the Public works Department's Plan "C" requires approx. 13 signs. In addition to studying the traffic clrculation Impact created by these plans, MotropolItan Dade County may wish to recoup all. or a portion of the cost aysociatPd with the Installation of the traffic regulatory signs. Consideration Should be given to this possible consequence. The property owners of this Coconut drove neighborhood were mmiled notification letters of the March 29. 1990 property owner meeting and the April 12. 1990 city Commission meeting on March Ili, 1,990.
