Type: Resolution
Subject: Amend Agreement - Modify Coconut Grove Trolley Route
Purpose of Item:
A Resolution directing the City Manager to take all steps necessary, including, but not
limited to, an amendment to the City of Miami's ("City") current Interlocal Agreement
with Miami -Dade County ("County"), to modify the City's existing Coconut Grove Trolley
route.
Background of Item:
Due to the elimination of the County's Transit Route 249, the City finds it necessary to
modify its Coconut Grove Trolley Route to better serve the area residents who were
displaced by the removal of the route. More specifically, the Coconut Grove Route will
improve its transit service of the Coconut Grove area by connecting riders to other
County transit services at both the Coconut Grove and Douglas Road Metrorail
Stations, and by having stops at or near open recreational areas such as Douglas Park,
Virrick Park, and Ambrister Park. The route will travel southbound along the SW 37th
Avenue corridor from Douglas Park; to Douglas Road Metrorail Station; to Grand
Avenue; to Jefferson Street; then back on Grand Avenue to Mary Street; to South
Bayshore Drive briefly stopping at Miami City Hall; to Aviation Avenue; to Tigertail
Avenue; to Oak Avenue; to McDonald Street; to Bird Avenue; to SW 27th Avenue; and
lastly traveling north along SW 27th Avenue to the Coconut Grove Metrorail Station, and
back. One (1) trolley vehicle will be transferred from the Coconut Grove Route to the
Brickell Route, which will reduce operational costs by approximately $237,392.00. The
operating hours will remain the same.
