Od l ENCLOSURES: PResolution,Ian s City Manager Pan Maps RECOMMENDATION: It Is respectfully recommended that the City Commission adopt the attached Resolution urging Meropolitan Dade County to Install traffic regulatory signs within the South Coconut Grove neighborhood In accordance with Plan "C". BACKGROUND: On March 3, 1989 the City Commission denied a request by property owners along Loquat and Kumquat Avenues to restrict vehicular access to those roadways at the westerly side of Douglas Road. The City Commission did, however, recognize the concerns of the citizens regarding traffic Intrusion Into their neighborhood and approved a resolution urging Metropolitan Dade County to Install additional traffic regulatory signs on Kumquat and Loquat Avenues between Douglas and LeJeune Roads. Additionally, the Public Works Department was directed to conduct a neighborhood meeting with the property owners within the traffic study area shown on the attached maps to hear their traffic intrusion concerns and consider recommendations for controlling traffic. On May 23, 1989 a property owner meeting was conducted by the Public Works Department to hear the citizens traffic Intrusion concerns In the South Grove neighborhood and consider recommendations for controlling traffic. After considering the property owners concerns and their recommendations as well as those of the Metropolitan Dade County Public Works Department, the City's Public Works Department has prepared a traffic plan (Plan "C") consistent with the needs and concerns of the neighborhood. Enclosed is Plan "Cu and also a plan of the traffic regulatory signs originally requested by the property owners (Plan "A") and a plan of traffic regulatory signs that Metropolitan Dade County Is recommending for installation (Plan "B").

Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Commission The Installation of each traffic control approximately $183. The original request, Plan "A", signs; Plan "B" 5 signs and the Public Works recommended Plan "Cu 38 signs. In addition to traffic circulation Impact created by each of Metropo I I tan Dade County may w I sh to recoup a I I or the costs associated with the Installation of regulatory signs. Consideration should be given to consequence. signs costs contains 104 Department's studying the these plans, a portion of the traffic this possible Yet to be addressed is the significant traffic volume on Main Highway occurring during school days. Ransom -Everglades School has only one entrance and exit on the narrow two lane section of Main Highway. Presently, a City of Miami patrolman "controls" traffic at this driveway by stopping both north and south bound traffic on Main Highway to allow drop off vehicles to enter and exit the school, causing "backups" in both directions.. Because of this congestion, much of the traffic leaves the arterial roadway and proceeds down residential "side" streets. This problem cannot be corrected by traffic regulatory signs, vehicular access restrictions or other traffic control devices. Consideration must be given to requiring schools along Main Highway to stagger school hours, provide "satellite" drop off areas or possibly Implement a requirement for "right turn only when exiting the school sites. Traffic flow along Main Highway should not be Interrupted during peak morning and, afternoon hours.
