,, : E.c :,,.: f7:,
Attached are copies of minutes of actions taken by the DPM Policy Committee
members on January 27, 1979. Thirteen alternate routes for the DPM were
presented to the Policy Committee. The Policy Committee narrowed its choices
to six which are indicated in the attached maps. The purpose of the presenta-
tion to the City Commission is to acquaint them with the six remaining
alternatives prior to the Policy Committee's meeting on February 24, 1979.
It is expected that the Policy Committee will select a final route on February 24

City Commission Agenda
February 22, 1979
On February, 22nd, the Dade County Office
of Transportation Administration will make
a presentation to the City Commission on
six DPM alignments selected by DPM Policy
Committee at their meeting on Saturday,
January 27th, 1979. Miami Planning Depart-
ment staff will assist in the discussion of
service goals and objectives and trade-offs
between the alternative alignments and
station locations.
Subsequent to this presentation, the Commission
may decide to express its endorsement of a
particular alternative or recommend a different
alignment in part or in whole. This expression
by the Commission would give direction to the
Dade County DPM Policy Committee meeting sched-
uled for February 24th. The Policy Committee
will be asked to select a final alignment and
station locations for the DPM System at that
time.
BACKGROUND
On May 9, 1978, the Urban Mass Transportation Administration
approved a federal grant for Miami's DPM Preliminary Design
and Engineering Studies. Following circulation of a Request
for Proposals (RFP), the Board of County Commissioners on
October 4, 1978, approved contracts with Gannett Fleming
Cordry and Carpenter, Inc. of Iiarrisburg, Pennsylvania, and
SKBB of Coral Gables, Florida (heretofore called GF/SKBB or
the consultants). The consultants, who are charged with pro-
ducing all the necessary design specifications for the devel-
opment of a Downtown People Mover, began preliminary design
and engineering studies on November 6, 1978.
To date, GB/SKBB has analyzed local conditions, DPM related
problems and opportunities and has developed 13 candidate
route alignments and station locations for the full DPM System.

Joseph R. Grassie February 15, 1979
The DPM Policy Committee, an appointed group of civic, political,
and business representatives, on Saturday, February 10, 1979,
selected six of these alternative route alignments for detailed
study (including patronage analysis). (Maps attached). The DPM
Policy Committee will make a final selection of a full sytem DPM
route alignment on Saturday, February 24, 1979. Following their
review and approval of a single DPM route alignment, a joint City
and County Commission public hearing will be held on Friday,
March 9, 1979, to discuss and endorse a final route alignment.
On April 21, 1979, the DPM Policy Committee will again convene to
review and approve a plan for staging the construction of the final
DPM route alignment and stations. A draft report for the recommended
first stage DPM will then be prepared and following, this, on May
25, 1979, a joint City, County, and State public hearing will be
held.
At the end of the consultant's 15 month contract, the County will
have the information necessary to bid for the construction of the
DPM System. Final design of the DPM System, including preliminary
drawings for stations, guideways and vehicles will be the major
task confronting the consultants for the duration of this year.
The City will, as of March 1, 1979, be under contract to Dade
County to provide professional planning services to be rendered
by the City of Miami Planning Department for the preliminary
engineering and design of the DPM, including an assessment of
joint development and redevelopment opportunities in relation
to DPM Stations.

Call to Order, Committee Procedures
The meeting was called to order by Commissioner William Oliver. After welcoming
the Committee Members, the first item on the agenda, Committee Procedures, was
addressed. It was suggested that the Committee adopt the proposed Rules and
Procedures with the following changes:
• That Rule 1.0 Quorum be amended to read: "One third of the whole
number of designated voting members of the Downtown People Mover
Polley Committee (DPMPC) shall constitute a quorum. Alternates
may he designated by a Committee Member and shall be counted in a
quorum and have voting privileges provided that the Committee
Member notify the Chairperson prior to the meeting."
t
• That Rule 4.0 Regular Meetings shall be amended to read: "The
Downtown People Mover Policy Committee meetings shall be estab-
lished and Committee Members shall be notified at least 7 days
prior to a meeting."
A motion was made and seconded to adopt the Committee Rules and
Procedures as Amended. The motion carried unanimously.
Milestone I Meeting Results
George Smith of Gannett Fleming/SKBB introduced Jack Hargrove and Willy
Bermello who presented the results of the ranking and rating of the Goals
and objectives and Activity Centers, respectively. It.was pointed out to
the Committee that these results became the premise for developing alter-
native alignments. Details were mailed to each Committee Member during
the week of January 22.
MIA Remarks
John Dyer introduced Steve Barsony, Director of the Office of Automated
Guideway Transit Applications, Urban Mass Transportation Administration.
Mr. Barsony stated the need for use of simple, proven technology in the
design of a DP`1 for Dade County. This is in keeping with his office's
desire to be success oriented. He stressed the importance of keeping
operating and maintenance costs to a minimum and pointed out that simple
technology can achieve this. A brief film on existing people mover systems
was then presented to give the Committee a clearer conception of the technology
of people movers. "r. Barsony concluded his remarks by reemphasizing the need
for Dade County to be economical and urged the State, the County, the City and
the business community to work in harmony.
Presentation of Candidate Full System Alignments, Selection of Alignments
for Further Study
George Smith presented 13 candidate full system alignments. It was requested
that the Committee identify six alignments for further study from either the
candidates presented or any that may be developed by the Committee. He men-
tioned that Alternative A must be a candidate for further study as it is the
one which was originally proposed to the Federal Government. In his presen-
tation, Mr. Smith described each of the 13 alignments and its relative service
to the activity centers, Following the presentation, Mr. Smith informed the
Committee of the consultant's ranking of alternatives. Alternative E was in
first place, A and J in second, C in fourth, D in fifth, H in sixth, F in
seventh, B in eigth, N in ninth, G in tenth, L and M in eleventh and Alterna-
tive K was in thirteenth place.
•
Following a short break, Commissioner Oliver suggested that. barring any
objections, Alternatives C, K. L. M and N be dropped. There were no
objections. The Committee continued consideration of Alternatives A, B.
C, D, E. I', II and .1 through discussion. Harvey IIal1 of FOOT inquired as
to how the Miami River would be crossed at Brickell Avenue. Ur. Dyer
explained that it would require a fixed span. Joseph Crassie, City Manager
of Miami, expressed concern as to whether there was enough clearance to cross
the river at lirickell Avenue on either side of the existing bridge. Dr. Dyer
responded that the actual alignment may have to go further west; but this
will be dealt with in a later planning stage and the Committee's present
concern is to decide on a corridor for the alignment. More discussion en-
sued and Commissioner Oliver pointed out that while all the questions were
valid and good, the remaining ,alternatives can all address these concerns
with further study. Roy Kenzie asked that Jack Luft, of the City of Miami
Planning Department, present a modified alignment. Mr. Luft presented his
alignment, deemed E-1,and more discussion followed. Commissioner Oliver
asked if there were any objections to having Alternative E-1 replace Alter-
native H. Before considering this, a discussion of the second stage of the
rapid transit system as it relates to Biscayne Boulevard took place. I)r.
Dyer explained that at this point we have not been authorized by the Federal
Government to do an alternatives analysis for Stage 11 and, therefore, have
not taken Stage II into account in developing the DPM alternative alignments.
Following more discussion, Commissioner Oliver suggested that the Committee
accept E-1 as one of the six alternatives, eliminate Alternatives H, F and
B and consequently consider Alternatives A, C, D, E, E-1 and J at the next
meeting. Hearing no objections he stated that a motion was in order. Lester
Pancoast so moved, there was a second by William Rubin. The motion carried
unanimously.
Roy Kenzie expressed a desire to ask the staff to consider the use of Second
Avenue as opposed to Biscayne Boulevard north of the loop. Commissioner Oliver
responded that the Committee may ask the staff to do this any time during the
process.
A short discussion of aesthetic impact as it may or may not relate to routing
took place.
Public Input
There was no public input.
Future Meetinjs Schedule
Dr. Dyer announced that the next meeting of the DPM Policy Committee will take
place February 24, 1979. at 9:00 A.M. in Plazas I,'II and III of the Howard
Johnsons Motor Lodge, 200 S. E. Second Avenue.
•
Dr. Dyer stated that at the February 24 meeting, the Committee will be
asked to review a more detailed analysis of the six alternatives and
approve the final alignment and station locations for the full DPM system.
Commissioner Oliver suggested that the OTA staff send Committee members
any necessary materials as soon as possible and that the t)I)A and City of
Miami staffs Meet with the OTA staff prior to the• next meeting.
Allen Morris, Sr, suggested that consideration be given to moving the
Brickell Stations further south in Alternatives C, D and E.
There being no further business, Commissioner Oliver thanked the Committee
for their participation and the meeting was adjourned.
Attached are the printed materials which were handed out at the January 27
meeting.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
1976
Apr 6
May
May
Urban Mass Transportation Administration (UMTA) announced
guidelines to consider proposals for Downtown People Mover
(DPM) systems from among which, nationwide, UMTA would select
three proposals to provide funding support in demonstration
programs.
Two joint meetings of Board of County Commissioners, City of
Miami Commission and representatives of the Downtown Development
Authority and of the Downtown Action Committee of the Greater
Miami Chamber of Commerce to review policy for a Dade County
DPM proposal.
Draft Milestone Report #15, Route Alignment and Station Locations,
was published. The entire 3.7 mile system was defined including
the loop arrangement with the north leg to Omni and the south
leg to the Brickell Avenue Rapid Transit Station. See the
attached map showing the basic alignments and some options. Also
included in the Report #5 was the staff recommendation regard-
ing the alignment of the eastern segment of the CBD Loop:
"The eastern segment of the CBD Loop could be located anywhere
between Biscayne Boulevard and East 2nd Avenue without signi-
ficantly affecting ridership levels or the overall operation
of the People Mover System. However, the East 3rd Avenue align-
ment is clearly superior because of its easy accessibility to
both the Biscayne Boulevard and East 2nd Avenue activity corridors.
In addition, the following points support the recommended East
3rd Avenue alignment:
a. People Mover line on Biscayne Boulevard would be visually
unacceptable, due to the unique identity and character

associated with the Boulevard.
b. A People Mover line on East 2nd Avenue would cause major
disruption to existing activity due to the narrow right-
of-way (55') and intense vehicular and pedestrian traffic.
c. The use of existing underdeveloped private property offers
opportunities for joint development ventures.
d. The City of Miami has planned to extend N.E. 3rd Avenue
northward from Flagler Street, thus the objectives of
improving traffic circulation and providing optimum access
with the People Mover can be accomplished jointly."
The third joint meeting of Board of County Commissioners, City
Commission of Miami and the City of Miami to review the project
proposal for a DPM system. At the conclusion of the discussion
on the Milestone Report ii5 the Miami City Commission, on recom-
mendation of Commissioner Plummer, adopted a modified route plan
for the proposed DPM system. In general, the modification con-
sisted of moving the north -south line on the east from the recom-
mended 3rd Avenue alignment to a Biscayne Boulevard alignment.
Also, a minor modification was made in the southern alignment of
the loop to bring it to South 2nd Street which will provide a
substantially improved access to the proposed convention center.
The original 3rd Avenue alignment north -south, was approved as
an acceptable alternative in the event that the Biscayne Boule-
vard alignment could not be made workable.
Following this meeting, Milestone Report #i5 was revised to
include the following which remains, as of this date, the
recommended eastern alignment:
"The East Segment of the CBD Loop could be located anywhere on
or between Biscayne Boulevard and East 2nd Avenue in order to
serve both of these activity corridors. However, Biscayne
Boulevard is the preferred alignment because:
1. The DPM line and stations can be developed over
the parking area currently within the public right-
of-way without interfering with traffic flow, and
with minimal reduction in the number of parking
spaces;
2. During construction of the DPM, no disruption of
business and traffic flow would occur;
3. A DPM line on Biscayne Boulevard gives high exposure
and direct access to Bayfront Park, and offers a
scenic view of the park and Biscayne Bay to riders
of the system that is considered to be of unique
aesthetic quality;
4. A DPM alignment on East 2nd Avenue could cause major
disruption to existing development due to the narrow
right-of-way (50-60'), intense vehicular and pedestrian
traffic, and already restricted sunlight illumination
along the street;
5. Construction of the DPM system along an East 3rd Avenue
alignment would require demolition of one or more
buildings in the block between East Flagler Street and
N. E. 1st Street. It would also require the acquisition
of easements through parking areas on private property
from N.E. 2nd Street to N.E. 5th Street which could be
more costly than the Biscayne Boulevard alignment;
6. With the Biscayne Boulevard alternative, all curves in
the system can be accomplished with a radii not less
than 150', whereas on North 2nd or 3rd Avenue this is
not possible, and
7. A potential link to the Port of Miami is possible with
this alignment."
Jun 15 Board of County Commissioners approved the routing and financing
plan for the proposed DPM system and authorized County Manager
to prepare and submit a Project Proposal to UMTA.
Jun 17
Miami City Commission passed and adopted Resolution No. 76-616

Metropolitan Dade County and the City of Miami formally adopted,
following a joint Public Hearing, the project proposal for a
proposed DPM system.
Dade County applied to UMTA for a grant in the amount of
$58,110,000 for Stage I of proposed DPM.
In a letter from Mr. Robert E. Patricelli, UMTA announced that
.... we found your plan (for a DPM) to be justified and highly
supportive of your rapid transit and urban development programs....

given the importance of improved downtown circulation to your
efforts, we would be prepared to permit you to use funds within
our $500 to $600 million reservation to implement your proposed
DPM if adequate cost savings or reprogramming from rapid transit
construction can be achieved."
In separate letters to Cleveland, Los Angeles, Houston and
St. Paul, their proposals were approved with a combined commit-
ment by UMTA of $220 million. The city breakout was as follows:

UMTA, in a letter to Mayor Clark, announced that the federal
commitment "to this project remains at not more than $575
million. First call on these funds must be for the construction
of the 16.5 mile segment.... If funds are still available
after those priority items are accommodated, UMTA will consider
their use for the four -mile Hialeah extension or for a downtown
people mover."
