1.0 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
This following details the results of a traffic impact study for Urban River. The purpose of this
study was to identify the traffic impacts associated with the project, which will be located at
Urban River Boulevard. The project will consist of 288 Highrise Residential units, 9188 square
feet of Specialty Retail, and 2,907 square feet of Quality Restaurant.
The goal of this report is to present, for the study intersections and transportation corridors, the
existing and future traffic conditions with project and committed development in the study area.
It was agreed that the primary analysis would be the intersections at the four corners of the site.
1.1 Existing PM Peak Hour Traffic Performance
Traffic performance was calculated at seven intersections in the vicinity of the project. Results of
the existing conditions analysis indicate that two of the study intersections operate beyond the
allowable LOS E+ standard.
• US-1 and NE 26`h St is operating at LOS A
• US-1 and NE 29th St is operating at LOS A
• US-1 and NE 30th St is operating at LOS A
• US-1 and NE 31' St is operating at LOS A
• US-1 and NE 32nd St is operating at LOS A
• US-1 and NE 33rd St is operating at LOS A
• NE 2"d Ave and NE 29`h St is operating at LOS D
• NE 2"d Ave and NE 306 St is operating at LOS A
• NE 2"d Ave and NE 32nd St is operating at LOS A
1.2 Future (2007) PM Peak Hour Traffic Performance with Project Plus Committed Development
The results of the analysis of future traffic conditions with the project plus committed traffic
indicate that conditions will not worsen significantly when project traffic is added.

1.3 Corridor Analysis
A corridor analysis was perfouined as called for in the Miami DRI. Here, person trip volume and
capacity analysis was examined. When the analysis uses the corridor concept as allowed in the
person trip methodology, as set forth by the City which entails summing the capacity of the
parallel corridors, all segments perform better than the required LOS E, and no worse than LOS
B.

1.0 Introduction
This following details the results of a traffic impact study for Urban River. The purpose of this
study was to identify the traffic impacts associated with the project, which will be located at
Urban River Boulevard. The project will consist of 288 Highrise Residential units, 9188 square
feet of Specialty Retail, and 2,907 square feet of Quality Restaurant.
The goal of this report is to present, for the study intersections and transportation corridors, the
existing and future traffic conditions with project and committed development in the study area.
It was agreed that the primary analysis would be the intersections at the four corners of the site.
2.0 Traffic Impart Analysis Methodology
In order to review the impact this project has on traffic in the study area, an analysis was
performed, which conforms to the analysis suggested in the Miami DRI, by which intersections
and corridors are studied and level of service is provided for vehicles, persons and transit. The
following scope of services for the work performed was agreed upon by Consultant for the
Developer and the Consultant for the City. Upon field review of existing conditions it was
determined that several of the agreed upon intersections would be impractical to analyze. In such
cases, alternative intersections were analyzed. The analysis focused on examining the four
corners of the site. It is believed that the final set of analyzed intersections is provides a more
conservative view of the study corridor. The final list includes:
• US -I and NE 26th St
• US-1 and NE 29th St
• US-1 and NE 30th St
• US -I and NE 31' St
• US-1 and NE 32nd St
• US-1 and NE 33rd St
• NE 2nd Ave and NE 29th St
• NE 2nd Ave and NE 30th St
• NE 2nd Ave and NE 32nd St

3.0 Data Development
Traffic impact analyses strive to quantify the existing conditions of a study area prior to the
development of a particular site. The specific development is then measured in terms of its
impact on the project area. This impact is combined with other committed developments to be
built in the area, and projected to the developments year of completion. Generally projects of this
nature are constructed within three years, therefore it is not as important to project traffic growth
due to the minimal impact it will have.
3.1 Traffic Counts
Traffic performance was calculated for the PM Peak hour, as required by the Downtown Miami
DRI. These were performed in September, October and again in December of 2004. Traffic
counts (TMC and ATR appendix) were taken at nine intersections:
1. US-1 and NE 26th St is operating at LOS A
2. US -I and NE 29th St is operating at LOS A
3. US-1 and NE 30th St is operating at LOS A
4. US-1 and NE 31' St is operating at LOS A
5. US-1 and NE 32nd St is operating at LOS A
6. US-1 and NE 33rd St is operating at LOS A
7. NE 2°d Ave and NE 29`s St is operating at LOS D
8. NE 2" Ave and NE 30th St is operating at LOS A
9. NE 2" Ave and NE 32nd St is operating at LOS A
Geometric conditions were developed from onsite observation. Volumes were adjusted for peak
season factors as suggested by FDOT's Transportation Statistics Office (see labeled appendices
for each)
3.2 Trip Generation
An essential aspect of development of a quality traffic impact analysis is to measure the future
impact of the planned development on the existing conditions. Trip generation rates were
obtained from the Institute of Transportation Engineers, Trip Generation Handbook, 7th Edition.
The Urban River project will consist of 288 Highrise Residential units, 9188 square feet of
Specialty Retail, and 2,907 square feet of Quality Restaurant. Note that a 16 % occupancy
adjustment has been made based on Miami's 1.4 persons per vehicle versus ITE's 1.2 persons/
vehicle. Transit trip reductions are based on projected modal splits used in the original
Downtown DRI, and pedestrian and bicycle reductions were based on the Downtown
Characteristics and reduced by 10%. All methodologies are based on the Downtown Miami DRI
Increment II.
This project will generate a gross of about 156 total trips. With adjustments for transit, vehicle
occupancy and pedestrian and bicycles there will be 92 net vehicle trips associated with the
development. Converted into person trips for vehicle and transit modes there will be 162 trips in
addition to 22 pedestrian and bicycle trips, for a total of 184 person trips. Data for this is in the
Trip Generation appendix.
Trips were then distributed using the cardinal trip distribution for TAZ number 503. This
distribution is based on the MUATS & year 2025 LRTP Update from the Miami Dade MPO. This
has been done for incoming and outgoing trips. Distribution and assignment data can be found in
the Trip Distribution appendix.

33 Future Roadway Projects
The Study area is becoming an increasingly populated residential area just north of Downtown
Miami. It is serviced by arterial surface streets and is close proximity to expressways and transit.
The combination of these makes the study area very accessible residential area, which can be
attributed to the areas increasing popularity and redevelopment potential, The MPO has over $5.4
Billion in scheduled transportation improvements designed to comprehensively cover a wide array
of mobility options. This suggests that the County's mobility will be enhanced. Over the past
decade as Miami -Dade County has become more congested, segments of the population have begun
to seek alternative transportation options as a way to make mobility efficient. This has been
reflected in a continued densifcation of the Urban Infill Area and the eastern sections of Miami,
due to its central location and its proximity to transit. It is anticipated that this will only be
enhanced by the County's exploration of transit, such as the Miami lntermodal Center, the
Northeast Corridor Extension and the BayLink projects. In addition, the passage of the $0.005
sales tax for transportation improvements will vastly improve mobility Countywide through the
provision of transportation alternatives. Immediate implementation has entailed a reduction of bus
transit headways and an increase in fleet size. Miami is positioned to be the direct and indirect
beneficiary of this commitment to mobility. The result of which will be the removal of automobile
trips from local streets and maintenance of adequate traffic flow. In general, Miami -Dade County
will be spending its 80% share of the $16 Billion tax (over 30 years) on the following types of
projects. Further explanation regarding this topic is public information, which can be accessed on
both the Miami Dade County web site and the MPO web site. See topics regarding the Peoples
Transportation Plan, and the Transportation Improvement Program,
Bus Service Improvements 2003-2008

4.0 Analysis
The data collected in the categories specified above has been utilized in the methodology arrived at
by the project team in consultation with the City of Miami. An analysis that takes into account
LOS of vehicles, persons and transit at intersection and along corridors was performed. Traffic
counts were adjusted for peak season and background growth rate for 2% was provided for two
years. Site traffic percentage as assigned to the vehicle trips and person trips, and total trips in
vehicles and persons was provided. This was done for each leg of each intersection. See the
Intersection Analysis appendix.
Level of Service analysis was performed for the existing conditions. Growth trends were analyzed
and level of service analysis was performed for future conditions, three years out. Then a person
trip volume and capacity analysis was performed.
4.1 Level of Service
Level of Service (LOS) is the traffic performance measure generally accepted in traffic analysis,
Levels of service range from LOS A (free flow with negligible delays) to LOS F (heavily congested
with long delays). LOS B, LOS C, LOS D and LOS E indicate intermediate conditions. Applicable
levels of service were developed from FDOT's 2002 Q/los Tables for each roadway classification,

4.2 Existing Conditions LOS Analysis
Traffic performance was calculated at seven intersections in the vicinity of the project. Results of the existing
conditions analysis indicate that two of the study intersections operate beyond the allowable LOS E+
standard.
• US-1 and NE 26th St is operating at LOS A
• US-1 and NE 29th St is operating at LOS A
• US-1 and NE 30th St is operating at LOS A
• US-1 and NE 31st St is operating at LOS A
• US-1 and NE 32nd St is operating at LOS A
• US-1 and NE 33rd St is operating at LOS A
• NE 2nd Ave and NE 29th St is operating at LOS D
• NE 2nd Ave and NE 30th St is operating at LOS A
• NE 2nd Ave and NE 32nd St is operating at LOS A

4.5 Person Trip Volume and Capacity Analysis
To analyze this developments affect on specific corridors in the study area, a person trip volume
and capacity analysis was developed utilizing the methodology of the Downtown Miami DRI, as
discussed above. This examined corridor segments in the existing condition future (2007) with
background traffic and future (2007) with the project. The segments were:
Biscayne Blvd
From NE 29 St to NE 36 St
From NE 36 St to NE 29 St
NE 2 Ave
From NE 29 St to NE 36 St
From NE 36 St to NE 29 St

This analysis was perfoiilied for the Roadway and Transit modes which resulted in a segment total
level of service. Components of the examination were the adopted LOS, which is E, the roadway
vehicular capacity, and the conversion of this to person trip capacity (1.6) and volume (1.4) were
made. An excess person trip capacity was arrived at and level of service attained.
For the Transit Mode the bus per trip capacity load was determined and utilized as the total transit
trip capacity. Transit person trip volumes for this mode were developed and excess capacity was
found.
The segment total analysis capacities, volumes and excesses for both the roadway and transit
segments were combined. Each corridor segment operated at or better than LOS D. A full table is
presented in the Corridor Analysis Appendix.
