Proposed Project Area The City has identified the Omni area, bounded by MacArthur Causeway on the south, NE 2 Avenue on the west, NE 18 Street on the north and Biscayne Bay on the east, as having the potential for a multi -level, public parking project which could also incorporate mixed use elements, in view of such factors as, 1) the redevelopment projects now underway or in the making, 2) the advent of mass transit in the area (the northern leg of the Downtown People Mover), 3) the proposed Park West (In -Town, Down -Town) redevelopment and 4) the congested traffic conditions along Biscayne Boulevard at the MacArthur Causeway interchange. Proposed Resolution In the Commission Meeting of April 24, 1980, the City Commission approved Resolution No. 80-303, which listed the most qualified firms to provide professional architectural/engineering services in connection with the several aspects of developing parking projects. 80-374 Mr. Joseph R. Brassie Page 2 May 12, 1980 Since the No. 1 firm, Wilbur Smith and Associates, has been engaged by the County and the State to make a comprehensive traffic study in an area which includes the Omni, and since the No. 2 firm has been selected for a feasibility study in the Downtown Government Center, it was decided to select the No. 3 firm, Greenleaf-Telesca Planners - Architects -Engineers, to undertake the proposed project feasibility study.
