roadways and supporting parking facilities that lie within the
City's boundaries will operate at levels of service that meet -
are consistent with the needs of an urban center possessing an
extensive urban mass transit system and characterized by
compact development and moderate -to -high residential
densities and land use intensities.

vehicular and mass transit operations, provide for greater pedestrian access anti. amenity,
and offer incentives for use of alternative transportation modes. The MIT plan will pay
particular attention to the differing characteristics of Miami's neighborhoods such as land
use, population density, economic activity, housing and business type and quality, and
neighborhood plans, and will develop detailed standards for transportation facilities and
services that will complement neighborhood development, redevelopment, and
conservation. Miami's downtown will be the subject of special attention, to ensure that its
