ENCLOSURES
The Miami Book Fair International is to be held November 3 through 10, 1985.
Because of the tremendous growth of this project, more space is needed for
exhibitor booths, food vendors, stages, etc.
To ensure the success of the Fair and in order to maximize the utilization
of the available space, it is requested that the following streets be closed
as follows:
Friday, November 8, 10:00 a.m. to Monday, November 11, 12:00 noon;
Northeast 2nd Avenue between 3rd Street, North, to Sth Street.
(This is a one-way street going South.) Traffic could be re-routed
Northeast 5th to Biscayne Boulevard, South on Biscayne Boulevard
and then west on Northeast 1st Street to Northeast 2nd Avenue
and South on Northeast 2nd Avenue.
Permission is also requested to close Northeast 4th Street from
Northeast 2nd Avenue to Biscayne Boulevard. This should not
be a problem since Northeast 4th Street is closed from Northeast
1st to Northeast 2nd Avenue.
Please have this item placed in the agenda of the September 26, 1985
meeting.

Mr. Miller Dawkins, Commissioner
Cit;,r of Miami - City Hall

Miami, FL 33133
Dear Commissioner Dawkins:
The subject of this request is the Miami Book Fair
International, taking place November 3 - 10, 1985. I would
like to request permission from the Commission to close a
section of two streets in downtown ;Miami beginning part of
the day Friday, November 8th, through noon time on Monday,
November 11th (Veteran's Dav). The location of the streets
are Northeast 2nd Avenue, between 3rd Street and 5th Street,
and 4th Street, between Northeast 2nd Avenue and Biscayne
Boulevard.
As can be seen, this request is only for a short duration of
the entire event. The growth of the Fair in 1985 has forced
us to expand beyond the Wolfson Campus of Miami -Dade
Community College to its surrounding areas. The streets
will be used to set-up part of the 250 exhibitor booths
(used by publishers and booksellers), food vendors, and
stages. The Campus facilities are being utilized to a
maximum but careful space analysis indicates that, at a
minimum, additional space required is that cited above.
The number of merchants in this area is minimal. We are
personally asking each for their approval on this matter.
One other factor to consider is that Monday, November llth,
is Veteran's Day and would therefore not hinder the flow of
traffic on this particular day.
We have met with Chief Alfredo Bared, City of Miami Police,
and have received a plan for off -duty policemen, security,
barracades, and signs needed to effectively and securely use
the streets for the Miami Book Fair International. Attached
please find copies of the plan for your review. Please
advise if the City of Miami approves for these services to
be donated as an in -kind contribution to Miami Book Fair
International.
