Re: 2006 Road Designations in the City of Miami
Dear Mr. Arriola:
The Legislature has made several honorary designations of roads located in the City of
Miami and directed to the Department to erect suitable markers, as follows:
1. State Road 933 (SW 12th Avenue) between Coral Way and SW 8th Street is
designated as "Angel Manuel De La Portilla Way."
2. State Road 9 (SW 27th Avenue) between Coral Way and SW 8th Street is
designated as "Luis Conte Aguero Way."
3. State Road 953 (Leleune Road/SW 42"a Avenue) between Flagler Street and SW
8th Street is designated as "Rafael Diaz Balart Road."
4. State Road 7/US441 (NW 7th Avenue) between NW 54th Street and NW 60th
Street is designated as "Osun's Village."
5. State Road 7/US441 (NW 7th Avenue) between NW 36th Street and NW 79th
Street is designated as "African Caribbean Cultural Arts Corridor."
6. State Road 968 (SW 1st Street) between SW 8th Avenue and SW 12th Avenue is
designated as "Carlos C. Lopez-Aguiar Way."
7. State Road 944 (NW 54`h Street) between SR5/US1 and NE 2nd Avenue is
designated as "Toussaint L'Ouverture Boulevard."
8. (Multiple jurisdiction designation) State Road 7/US441 (NW 7th Avenue)
between NW 62"d Street and NW 95`h Street is designated as "Reverend Samuel
Atchison Boulevard."
9. (Not a state road) NW 21st Avenue between NW 20'h Street and NW 23rd Street
is designated as "Dennis Pastrana Avenue,"
Florida law states that erection of markers is contingent on the City Commission passing
a resolution in support of each of the honorary designations. When the, Department
receives the City's approval of the designations in the form of a supporting resolution,
our Public Information Office will direct the manufacture of two standard brown and
white ground -mounted signs. The Department will install one sign at each limit of each
designation, and will arrange for an unveiling ceremony for one sign at each designation.
One of the designations, number 9 above, is not on a state road. In such a case, once the
City provides a supporting resolution, the Department will manufacture the signs for
installation by the City.
If you have any questions, pleasado not hesitate to contact me.
Sincerely,
Janet Seitlin
Multimodal Projects Administrator
