a Expires June 17 200S
The rate of residential and commercial
development in southern Miami -Dade
County is prompting officials to consider
new ways of measuring growth.
The Vision Council, an economic devel-
c _tent agency for the area, wants to de-
velop a set of indicators, in cooperation with
the Beacon Council, to measure what is
happening in the southern end ofthe county,
said Mike Richardson, Vision Councilpresi-
dent. The Beacon Council is Miami-Dade's
countywide economic development agency.
Statistics specifically measuring what's
happening in hisareaare not available, Mr.
Richardson said.
"All the economic data," he said, "is
compressed into Miami -Dade County."
New retail development there is fueled by
explosive residential growth, he said, that
could easily amount to 20,000 new units in
the next few years.
Beacon Council officials announced this
year they are looking to create a new set of
economic indicators for the county be-
cause the state figures don't reflect Greater
Miami's highly entrepreneurial economy.
Traditional statistical systems, they said,
measure factors such as payroll -based em-
ployment growth, personal income and un-
employment. Those measurements work in
a closed economy, officials said, but don't
reflect what is happening in Greater Miami.
Instead, Beacon Council officials said,
new systems should look at data such as
and tracked over time.
Plans to develop a new set of data for
South Dade came from discussions with
Beacon Council President Frank Nero at a
Sept. 28 business forum sponsored by the
Vision Council.
Mr. Richardson said the forum was among
its most successful, drawing 120 real estate
agents, developers, builders and bankers
from the county.
Keynote speaker and Miami -Dade vet-
eran residential and commercial broker Moe
Veissi, principal of Veissi & Associates,
said South Dade is the lastplace for afford-
able, horizontal residential development in
the county.
Once South Dade's build -out is com-
to the county's master plan for develop-
ment.
Another participant, Marlene Porter, se-
nior vice president for human resources at
CommunityBankofSouth Floridaandchair-
man ofthe Business and Industry Commit-
tee ofthe Homestead/Florida City Cham-
berofCommerce, said she found the forum
informative.
"I've been down here a long time. I can
be a real skeptic, but I came away from that
meeting thinking `I'd better get out and
invest in something.'"
Networking was another plus for Ms.
Porter, who said she came away from the
meeting with a lead fora $12 million loan for
commercial development.
State eyes rapid bus service between Palm Beach, Miami -Dade
1 OM HARLAN
A Florida Department ofTrans-
portation study could pave the
way for rapid bus service from
southern Palm Beach County to
central Miami -Dade.
The study will analyze how
three counties, including Broward,
can use enhanced buses with fea-
tures such as traffic signal pre-
emption to improve traffic and
reduce travel time along the State
Road 7/US 441 corridor, which
includes a stretch south to down-
town Miami.
The transportation department,
which is paying for and conduct-
ing the study, enlisted Carter &
Burgess, a consulting firm, to
work on technical aspects of the
study, which is to be finished in
summer 2005.
Once the study is done, trans-
portation officials hope to design
a bus system that will run every
I_t -- -
`This will certainly improve some congestion issues
on 441.'
Chris Walton
The service could receive at-
tention from state and federal
policy makers as one ofthe first
regional transportation efforts
since the creation of South
Florida's Regional Transportation
Authority. In July 2003, state leg-
islation changed the Tri-County
CommuterRail Authority into the
South Florida Regional Transpor-
tation Authority.
Lloyd Robinson, project man-
ager for the study, said officials
are basing the study on a model
used by Los Angeles transporta-
tion authorities that is cheap and
efficient.
Broward County Transit used
the Los Angeles model when it
began running an unlimited stop
the new bus service would ex-
pand the successful Broward
County system, which has been
crowded since beginning a few
years ago.
"This [bus service] will cer-
tainly improve some congestio
issues on 441," Mr. Walton sai
Because of the success of th
Broward system, Florida Depart-
ment of Transportation officials
cjidn't see the need to spend mil-
lions to design an alternative sys-
tem.
"It's a premium service on a
productive corridor," Mr.
Robinson said. "We're very con-
fident it will attract a sound rider
base."
The bus service plan could show
how regional transportation au-
thority officials can work together
to improve public transportation
and reduce travel times, Mr.
Robinson said.
Mr. Walton also said that the
bus service will im
tion and give passengers a good
ride from Palm Beach County to
Miami -Dade.
"This takes the regional con-
cept and puts it into reality," he
said. "It's a good beginning in
