Subject: Interlocal Agreement with the Miami -Dade Metropolitan Planning Organization (MPO) for the
Health District Circulator Phase II Study, Project B-30248.
Purpose of Item:
To approve the Interlocal Agreement with the Miami -Dade Metropolitan Planning Organization
(MPO) to jointly fund the Health District Circulator Phase II Study.
Background Information:
The City submitted a grant application to the Miami -Dade Metropolitan Planning Organization (MPO) seeking
funding from the 2007 Municipal Grant Program for a "Health District Circulator Phase II Study". The project
received MPO funding and the attached agreement is necessary to solidify the MPO's commitment to provide
80% ($48,000) of the project costs and the City's commitment to fund the remaining 20% ($12,000).
The Health District Circulator Phase' Study, completed in February 2006, assessed the feasibility of a transit
circulator to improve mobility in the Health District area. The study identified potential routes and a solution
consisting of utilizing both of the following transit methods concurrently:
(1) a conventional rubber -tire trolley bus operating on a two-way loop around the Health District; plus
(2) an electric tram vehicle operating a north -south and east -west route serving the interior of the District.
The solution was endorsed by the Miami Partnership as a critical component of the "Health District
Implementation Plan", a detailed plan to address quality -of -life issues in the area such as streetscape
enhancements, way-finding/gateway signage, and transit.
The Phase II Study will further refine the route; develop a cost estimate and prepare an implementation plan.
