Subject — 1-395 Foundation Encroachments within City of Miami Right of Way
Dear Mr. Gonzalez,
KEVIN J. THIBAULT, P.E.
SECRETARY
The Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) is in the process of building improvements along SR
836 / 1-395 from NW 17th Ave. to MacArthur Causeway that will enhance safety and mobility within
Miami -Dade County. The improvements provide a vital link connecting the City of Miami, Miami -Dade
County and the City of Miami Beach.
The proposed improvements include a Heritage Trail linking pedestrians from NW 3'd Ave. to Biscayne
Boulevard beneath the 1-395 overpass. The City and FDOT are actively working together to provide
amenities that would encourage activity within this segment including direct access to shopping,
recreation, entertainment, transportation and employment. These improvements are consistent with
the City Code that promotes development that enhances the pedestrian experience.
To complete the improvements, new bridge pier foundations are required to support the 1-395 / SR 836
elevated highway. Some of the foundations will have underground encroachments into City of Miami
Right of Way. The FDOT is requesting conveyance of permanent easements from the City of Miami for
placement of bridge pier foundations within the City of Miami Right of Way. Attached are exhibits
illustrating the locations where encroachments are required along with parcel sketches and legal
descriptions of each.
Please review and advise if there are any concerns with the proposed easements. If none, we would
request to have the City authorize immediate use by FDOT to begin construction of underground
foundations within such encroachment areas.
Sincerely,
mes Wolfe, P.E.
