FLORIDA INTER -OFFICE MEMORANDUM TO Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Commission FROM Cesar H. Odi o City Manager RECOMMENDATION: 26 DATE. p C T 2 4 1988 FILE: SUSPECT: Proposed Resolution Designating the Unnamed Street Linking So. Miami Ave. with SW 1 Ave. as REFERENCES: "Tobacco Road" ENCLOSURES: It is respectfully recommended that the City Commission adopt the attached resolution designating the recently built roadway which links the Miami Avenue Bridge with S.W. 1 Avenue at S.W. 7 Street, as "Tobacco Road". BACKGROUND: The Department of Public Works has received requests for business addresses from property owners whose properties front on the newly constructed roadway which carries southbound traffic from the new Miami Avenue Bridge over to S.W. 1 Avenue. Under the guidelines set forth in Section 54, Article IV of the City Code, the roadway should be named "S.W. Miami Avenue Road". However, a street with that name already exists one block north of the subject road. The Building and Zoning Department has tentatively designated the road as "S.W. Southbound Miami Avenue Bridge Road" for permitting purposes. Such a name would appear to be too confusing and cumbersome. The City of Miami has designated the area as an entertainment district. By designating the thoroughfare with a creative and colorful name the City would enhance the identity of the district. The area is the site of a well known early Miami institution, Tobacco Road, which has served to create an image and identity the City wishes to promote for the district. The naming of streets after local enterprises has precedent in Miami. City Hall itself, sits at the end of a street named after an airline. The name "Tobacco Road" would enhance the prospects for the development and economic future of the area. Attachments: Proposed Resolution SS-1.02 7
