Subject: Coconut Grove Traffic Study - Main, Grand, McFarlane, Bayshore, and Virginia
Jeff and Esther, I hope you have a a good summer. We have a traffic study coming up for the Coconut Grove Village
Center we would like to add the possibility of closing a portion of Virginia Street (see attached pdf) to the scope of that
study.
• The McFarlane, Grand, and Main intersection
• Possible traffic Tight at Mary and S Bayshore
• Reducing S Bayshore and McFarlane to 2 lanes from Aviation to Grand
• Adding parallel parking where applicable to S Bayshore
• With the reduction of lanes widening the sidewalks on Main, Grand, and McFarlane
• Adding on road bike lanes to Main, Mcfarlane, and $ Bayshore from Franklin to Aviation
• A traffic circle at Mary and Grand is already approved and supposed to be in design
1
° Closing Virginia just south of the CocoWalhand Mayfair Hotel driveways to Grand creating
Please let us know when you plan to begin the study.
Best

Jose:
Bill Anido agreed at the end of the meeting that he would write a letter on behalf of the City requesting that we begin our
study; but now Bill is no longer with the City. To my knowledge, no letter has been received. We would appreciate a
written confirmation from the City that the City finds the concept acceptable and wishes for us to study the feasibility of
implementing it.

Jeff, since I'm not aware of current status, please advise if letter referenced below was issued by City or if even needed
for County to undertake the necessary traffic studies per Coconut Grove Village request?

Jose,

I understand that at a recent Village meeting they agreed to the concept of a modified intersection proposed by Mr
Cohen from MDPW. The median would limit turning movements and enhance ped crossings at Grand, McFalane, Main
intersection. It was in the city's court to write a letter to MDPW expressing interest and they were to conduct traffic
counts and design this project. Do you know the status before Bill left?
Please let me know.
