Given the already heavily congested intersection and traffic problems on 38th Street and Biscayne Boulevard, any increase in intensity will create additional traffic that will be greatly detrimental to the mobility of the area. The Intersection already has significant traffic issues, without adequate turning and through lanes, creating significant safety and operational deficiencies. This is the main entrance from Mid Beach to the City of Miami and serves the residents north of 38.h street including the Bay Point and Morningside neighborhoods, as well as commuters traveling south to the Downtown/Brickell area during business hours. The rush-hour traffic already results in nearly standstill congestion at the Intersection backing up west -bound traffic across the Julia Tuttle Causeway and at the southbound left hand turn onto 38th Street. Any increase in trips and/or additional turns onto or off 38th Street from new development will further disrupt traffic at this Intersection and surrounding roads. Agenda items PZ2 and PZ3 for properties located at 428, 430, 448, & 454 NE 38 Street and 433, 441, and 457 NE 37 Street request to change the Future Land Use designation from Medium Density Multifamily Residential to Restricted Commercial; and a Rezoning request to change the Zoning designation from T5-R to T6-8-O. Approvals of application will amount to increased density, intensity, height, and more intense permitted uses, resulting in significantly heavier traffic and worsening conditions for the surrounding neighborhood and city-wide commuters. In sum, approval of either of the above applications would increase traffic and intensity in an already heavily congested and significant Intersection, and would have an overall negative impact on the area. Thank you for your attention and consideration of the above concerns. Enza Guida — President Bay Park Towers 305-962-3204 ysy i Ste, �_ N�� ksd�� 0�-►�s Ls_h�. 4545
