l/ The herein approval is conditioned upon the City being

TO: Honorable Mayor and Members of
the City Co fission
FROM: Cesar Odio v
City Manager
City of Miami
DATE: March 3, 1987
SUBJECT: PORT BOULEVARD
During the February 26, 1987 City Commission meeting, City Staff was
instructed to review the Port Boulevard situation to determine if the amount
of land to be acquired by Dade County is equivalent to the land included in
the City of Miami appraisal. The City of Miami Public Works Department has
reviewed this issue and determined that the parcels are equivalent and the
amount to be acquired by the Port is correct.
In addition, the granting of a temporary easement for the construction of a
detour road was also discussed during the February 26, 1987 City Commission
meeting. The purpose of the detour road is to allow Port Boulevard traffic
to utilize a portion of the FEC tract during construction of the Port
Boulevard project. With the construction of the detour road, traffic
leaving/entering the Port would detour to the north and exit/enter the FEC
tract at Northeast Eighth Street and Biscayne Boulevard where a traffic
signal is in place. This alternative would allow the construction of the
intersection at Biscayne Boulevard and Northeast Fifth and Sixth Streets to
be completed approximately two months earlier than scheduled, and would allow
Bayside garage traffic to utilize the old Port Boulevard right-of-way
exclusively (see Attachment 1).
In order to allow the detour to be completed before the Bayside opening
(April 8, 1987), work must begin immediately. Therefore, this item has been
placed on the March 13, 1987 City Commission agenda for retroactive approval.
The proposed alignment has been conceptually reviewed by the City of Miami
Public Works Department, Department of Development, Department of Off -Street
Parking and Miami Motorsporta. The Port of Miami will fund the cost of
construction and has agreed to vacate the detour in sufficient time to allow
set-up of the 1988 Grand Prix race.
