RECOMMENDATION:
It is respectfully recommended that the City Commission adopt the attached
Resolution authorizing the transfer of a portion of N.E. 36 Street right-of-way to
the jurisdiction of the State of Florida for the reconstruction and. maintenance of
the roadway.
BACKGROUND;
The Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) is completing plans for the
reconstruction of N.W./N.E. 36 Street between N.W. 7 Avenue and N.E. 7
Avenue. The majority of the project between N.W. 7 Avenue and Biscayne
Boulevard is located within right-of-way under the jurisdiction of the State of
Florida. However, the portion of N.E. 36 Street between Biscayne Boulevard
and N.E. 7 Avenue (the beginning of the entrance ramp to the Julia Tuttle
Causeway) is under the jurisdiction of the City of Miami. Since this portion of
N.E. 36 Street serves as a critical connection between Biscayne Boulevard, the
exit ramp from I-95 and the Julia Tuttle Causeway, it is essential that this section
be included in the current FDOT project and that the FDOT retains maintenance
responsibility for this Urban Minor Arterial roadway. The FDOT construction
plans for the roadway have been designed sensitive to the access needs and
concerns of the adjacent property owners including the existing and proposed
condominium developments.
In order for FDOT to complete its plans, it is necessary that the right-of-way for
N.E. 36 Street between Biscayne Boulevard and N.E. 7 Avenue be transferred to
the jurisdiction of the State Highway System so that the FDOT may assume
reconstruction responsibility for N.E. 36 Street and the maintenance
responsibility for the roadway.

Members of the City Commission

right-of-way map to effect the transfer of jurisdiction and reclassification of the
roadw to its proper Urban Minor Arterial status.
