Incorporated in 1896, the southwestern portion of the City is comprised of several distinct neighborhoods and commercial corridors. The area identified consists of approximately 6.7 square miles and is one of the City's most densely populated regions with the greatest tree canopy deficiency. The limits of the project extend to the north to SW 1st Street, to the South US 1, to the West to SW 37th Avenue (Douglas Road) and to the East to 1-95. This area includes the following neighborhoods: Auburndale, La Pastorita, Parkdale North, Parkdale South, Coral Gate, Shenandoah North, Shenandoah South, Silver Bluff, Citrus Grove, the Latin Quarter, East Little Havana, The Roads, and Douglas Park.

At its conclusion, the goal for the project is to develop a blueprint for the City's use as a tool for implementing greater resiliency within the street conditions of the project area. The Plan will demonstrate how to maximize the City's environmental and place -making objectives, while identifying strategic opportunities which will: • Strengthen the sense of place, neighborhood identity and aesthetics, through the identification of strategic tree planting locations at gateways, thoroughfares and choice of species to identify specific districts along major corridors, and the reintroduction of native local plant species • Build the community's resilience to the impacts of climate change through tree shading to reduce the heat island effect • Maintain and enhance the quality of the air, water and land through a mature tree canopy's ability to sequester carbon and release oxygen, and filter storm water • Promote and encourage actions that reduce greenhouse gas emissions through the creation of attractive and comfortable pedestrian and cycling routes which foster the use of alternate modes of transportation • Create a road map by which a sustainable urban forest can be developed, and implement a planning process that will support and cultivate the maintenance of ecological, social and economic functions and benefits, over time • Promote awareness with City residents, on the benefits of trees, through community education and outreach CURTIS + ROGERS DESIGN STUDIO Project Brief Project Brief I Project Scope + Goals Executive Summary The Design team completed the following actions in gathering the information provided in this report: • Research Completed and Documented: • History of Project area and Neighborhoods, including visiting and consulting with History Miami. • Demographics & Statistics: Information was pulled and compiled from the US Census Bureau, The City of Miami and Miami -Dade County open GIS systems and websites. • Climate related issues were researched from a variety of sources and compiled for the project area specifically, looking at Sea -Level Rise, Storm Surge, Heat -Island Effect, Flooding and Air Quality. • Each street was physically visited and documented via photographs • Each street was inventoried for the following characteristics: Width of ROW, Size of Swale, Sidewalks, Street Lights, On -Street Parking, Street Trees/Palms, Curbs, Lanes of Traffic, Ownership of Road, Overhead utility wires, medians, any non-standard improvements. • Selected thoroughfares were analyzed for their potential to have additional planting areas added, and possibility or likelihood of being able to change the existing layouts (size of lanes, number of lanes, etc). • Information was gathered and configured to create an accurate mapping of the topography and watersheds for each neighborhood. • The street trees were geolocated in GIS and documented to their: Species, DBH, Spread, Condition, Utility Conflicts, and up to three additional observations. • This information was then configured into diagrams and charts, and statistical data compiled. • Community outreach was initiated by finding and reaching out to any Community Home Owner Associations within the project area. This resulted in our attendance at four meetings in the Roads, Little Havana, Silver Bluff and Shenandoah. We also met with the NET offices within our Project area (Coral Way & Little Havana). • Information was collected on the city's current tree planting efforts. Planting practices being utilized were reviewed, both those specified as well as those occurring in the field. Further recommendations and coordination will occur in Phase II.

CURTIS + ROGERS DESIGN STUDIO Project Brief Project Brief Executive Summary Executive Summary Upon compiling the information included in this report, the following trends and patterns were observed within the project area. Neighborhoods with the lowest amounts of tree canopy tend to also have greater density (multi -family buildings or duplexes) leading to a greater need for parking on the street or within swales. Due to this need for parking, residents in these neighborhoods also tend to be more resistant to the idea of planting, reaching out the city much less frequently. Upon further investigation, residents give the impression that along with issues of parking, tree maintenance and sidewalk repair are some of their other big areas of contention towards trees. Residents did not want to be left with additional financial burdens that could be linked to trees within their nearby swale. There are some opportunities to add planting on some of the major thoroughfares running North and South, especially on SW 22nd Avenue which is particularly void of trees. Most of the thoroughfares have already minimized their lane widths, so re -configuration of the travel lanes is not an option, but planting could be added in areas where there is currently only striping to prohibit cars. Many of the high density residential neighborhood streets are currently using the swale for parking. Therefore, the swales are no longer effective as pervious areas to absorb rainwater. The team found many code violations regarding the swales, instances where the swale had been partially, or in some cases entirely paved. Additional code violations were found within the properties in some of these areas, with some homes found to have completely paved frontages. SUrl9 rl'try Yy ref Ini+irvi ( ,-.,-Ir rcinnc One of the conclusions the team has come to is that the City would greatly benefit from a shift in their perception of and classification of trees. The current culture of the City classifies trees as beautification and enhancement - an aesthetic benefit only. This culture does not allow for the importance of the benefits of trees to the community to be clearly seen and funded. The City needs to embrace and promote the multiple benefits of trees to the City and its Communities, not the least of which is a greater resiliency to climate change and sea level rise, and the ever increasing occurrences of King Tide flooding. The trees should be classified as necessary infrastructure. Trees can help with storm water management if they are allowed to. Too often they are not given the proper connectivity to surface water to help manage it. Trees are a natural way to absorb and filter surface water, but are not currently included in Engineering calculations for stormwater management. A shift in the catagorization of the trees could greatly help the City in a multitude of ways with just one action - more trees. The trees should to be managed as an asset to the City, not as an ammenity. The team also feels that the City should reconsider and explore ways to improve their enforcement of Code violations. The City Code may contain great ideas and forward thinking, but if it is not enforced, the ideas will never come to fruition. The City currently imposes these standards upon new development, however, once a Certificate of Occupancy is issued, owners make changes that often violate these standards and are not held accountable or forced to comply. We also found a general lack of coordination and understanding between the City Departments, particularly Public Works, CIP, Resiliency Planning and Maintenance. Re- classifying trees as infrastructure will require buy -in, cooperation and coordination between all departments of the City. Clear methods of interdepartmental cooperation should be established. The team will elaborate on and document specific recommendations and pilot projects during othe next phase of this project, and outline of which can be found in the last pages of this Volume under "Next Steps". • I r••"a i Serb `37`�': Y� - a r l3tLMilliPEAP- fir �3r zmin.azywl.4--. ram a art midi i r a aa•riu n ^a. s • •< Highest Poverty Rates Health Issues Percentage Renters Public Transit Use Crime Rate Multi -Family Housing Population Density Lowest Educational Attainment Tree Canopy Coverage CURTIS + ROGERS DESIGN STUDIO Project Brief Project Brief Executive Summary Opportunities + Constraints Opportunities Some of the Opportunities this project has are: • Reduce flooding in some areas and increase filtration of surface waters • Reduce heat island effect in the most vulnerable neighborhoods • Increase equity of canopy coverage and the corresponding benefits it brings • Increase the health and diversity of the City's tree canopy and make it more resilient to Sea Level rise • Increase the residents understanding of the benefits of trees to their communities and enlist them as partners in preservation and improvements • Increase walkability • Test several models of adaptability that have been developed to determine which models work best for these communities. The Design team has started to look at the information gathered and develop strategies for improvements that can be developed into the Pilot Projects. Curtis + Rogers has identified streets and areas in the greatest need of tree canopy: LOLA has identified streets and areas that where improvements would be most beneficial for water management: Together, the team will choose areas for recommendations of interventions and strategies for these pilot projects. Fortunately, many of the neighborhoods have pervious space available for green and blue infrastructure, so re -working of the limits of the ROW will not be necessary. However, getting the residents to accept and respect new trees in their swales has its challenges adressed below. Constraints Some of the Constraints this project has are: • High groundwater table and coastal proximity • Most of the project area has been built out and developed already • We are already seeing increased incidences of saltwater intrusion • We are already seeing incresed incidences of high tide flooding • There is often a lack of balance between the poiticians wanting to keep their constituency happy and what is required for the betterment of the entire City • Many residents do not want trees • The residents do not always know what is best for them and need to be educated • The City appears to have a reputaion of poor maintenance of its existing street trees First impressions with public outreach show a resistance from the communities to more trees in the ROW. Recently planted street trees are being parked against and sometimes hit by cars parking in the swales. The species of trees that may be the best for resiliency for the City which will be recommended by this project, may be resisted by the communities. Most citizens feel they should have a say in what kind of tree is planted in front of their property - especially since they are being asked to maintain it. The problems that arise out of this are multiple: The species the citizens choose may be :inappropriate for the size of the swale, non-native, not salt water tolerant, not shade trees (Palms), not wind resistant, monocultures. C+R found in our involvement with the City of Coral Gables in their tree succession plan, that when given a choice, the majority of the home -owners wanted Oak trees. The City allowed the home- owners to choose if they objected to the proposed species, and the result of this is a distinct lack of diversity within the City. Lack of diversity is dangerous due to outbreaks of pest and disease that can attack a particular species of tree, leaving the City devastated of canopy. The team feels that in order to achieve the most resilient canopy for the area, that the choices need to be limited to species appropriate for the locations. We found a great deal of diversity within the project area, and would recommend that this trend be continued. Monocultures of a particular species on a street are problematic because of the issues previously discussed with potential die -back, as well as the fact that most of these streets have overhead utility lines on one side of the street. The overhead lines should not have large trees underneath them as they interfere with the electrical service and can cause outages during high wind events. If both sides of the street have the same species of trees in these case, they would have to all be smaller species, which would limit the amount of shade possible on the street. In order to maximize the amount of shade, larger species should be planted on the side of the street where there are no power lines and smaller species on the side where they are. When this is ignored and large trees are planted under the utility lines, it makes more work for the Power companies to trim back the trees. Trimming the large trees in this manner (Y-cut) which we saw multiple instances throughout the project area, makes the trees less resilient and more prone to limb failure. Availability of appropriate trees is an issue. We will recommend to the City that they "Contract Grow" appropriate trees for their streets, as most nurseries do not carry the diversity and sizes required. Otherwise, the City will always be limited by what the commercial growers carry.

ROGERS DESIGN STUDIO INC. History of the Area The City of Miami is a total of 56.6 square miles situated between the Everglades and the Biscayne Bay in the eastern portion of Miami -Dade County. Known as the "cultural, economic, and financial center of South Florida" the project area, in the south-west portion of the city, includes neighborhoods with some of the most historically and culturally rich backgrounds, while also some of the most economically disadvantaged residents. Within those neighborhoods some, like that of Shenandoah, Roads, and Riverside (a part of today's Little Havana), have histories dating back to their settlement and development in the late 19th and early 20th century. Early settlement of Miami dates back to around 10,000 years ago with the native American Tribes of the Tequesta people living along the Miami River with villages extending as far north as southern parts of today's Palm Beach County. European settlement began in the 16th century with visits from Juan Ponce de Leon and the landing of Pedro Menendez de Aviles bringing the first permanent settlers arriving around 1800. Major development within the area of study dates back to some of Miami's early pioneers such as William and Mary Brickell, Julia Tuttle, J. H. Tatum and the homesteading Belcher family in the mid to late 19th century. Large tracts of land owned by these families transformed into sub -urban developments over the next century coupled with the expansion of the Florida East Coast Railway South to Miami provided the perfect storm for a greater settlement. The city of Miami became incorporated within the county on July 28, 1896 and experienced continued rapid growth up until World War II. Though not greatly affected by the great depression, the city was largely impacted by World War II with a military headquarters being moved to the DuPont building, as a result of a series of attacks throughout the years, and following the war an influx of soldiers moving to the area increased the city population to nearly half a million by 1950. Cuban migrations began in the 1960's after Fidel Castro became the Prime Minister of Cuba. Many of those migrating were middle and upper-class Cubans coming with few possessions. "Freedom flights" coming from Havana to Miami brought as many as 100,000 Cubans in 1965 with the overall Cuban population in Miami being well over 400,000 by the start of the 1970's. Subsequent waves of migration took place in the 1980's with the Mariel boatlift incident bringing 150,000 refugees as well as in the 1990's more Cuban migrants left for better economic, political and social opportunities. The neighborhood distinctions and exact extents vary person to person however a widely accepted break down of our study area includes the neighborhood distinctions of: Little Havana (which includes the sub -neighborhood of Riverside, as well as the Latin Quarter, half of Citrus Grove, Shenandoah north), West Flagler (which includes Auburndale and the remaining half of Citrus grove), the Roads, and Coral Way (which includes the sub - neighborhoods of La Pastorita, Parkdale North and South, Coral Gate, Shenandoah South, and Silver Bluff). The area that would later become Little Havana was initially a place for lower -middle-class Southern and thriving Jewish neighborhoods into the 1930's however in the 1960's as the population of Cubans grew rather quickly the area became known as "Little Havana". Since the 1970's however, Cuban populations have been decreasing while immigrants from other countries in Central and South America have increased making the area more diverse but still largely Cuban -American owned. The neighborhood is now the best-known place for Cuban Exiles in the world and was declared a national treasure by the National Trust for Historic Preservation in 2017. "The Roads" neighborhood was originally owned, designed and developed by Mary Brickell in the early 1920's. The auction to sell the plots was held in 1923 with all being sold off in one day. Though initially planned to be affordable housing, the area became quite prestigious and exclusive quickly during development and still holds such status today. This neighborhood is planned completely off the standard grid that the rest of Miami -Dade county follows, breaking the pattern and using a 45 degree and that then runs northeast - southwest and has crossings running perpendicular. The Coral Way area is defined by Coral Way or SW 22nd Street which runs directly through the center connecting Coral Gables to Brickell. The corridor for Coral Way began in 1922 with citrus lined streets but grew to house street car tracks and cars. In 1929 the Roadside Beautification program brought 1200 Banyan Trees to the street which some are still standing today. The Shenandoah neighborhood was developed in the early 1920's by developers from Virginia has some of the older homes in the area with some dating back to the 1920's and 30's.

Buildings within the district are former rooming houses built at the top of the 19th century as short-term accommodation alternatives to the Royal Palm Hotel for tourists and potential new residents. The framing architectural style is that of some of the only remaining frame architecture in close proximity to the river leaving behind a district of great historic significance.

Having been a refuge for the blues artists like Billie Holiday the hotel was once a stomping ground for the many visitors that passed through the Miami area. After being sold from the long time owners in 2012 the hotel has seen a reinvestment from the city to become Little Havana's first boutique hotel.

Figure 15: JC/ Google Tower Theater Initially built in 1926 the Tower Theater was once a hub of cinematic arts. After Cuban migrations began in the 1960's the theater became a hub for cultural experiences as Cuban immigrants were able to observe and learn American culture and language though art. After being in operation for almost sixty years the theater closed to the public however Miami Dade College, the owner, has been able to keep the space and spirit alive by allowing it to serve as an place for education, exhibition and culture.

Local Climate: The various environmental conditions, that characterize "local climate" are: temperature, humidity, wind, precipitation, and sky conditions. These are some of the most important factors to consider in the high-performance landscape design process. Not only does climate have big implications for materiality and construction, it's also very telling about the types of passive design that are going to work best. According to the koppen climate classification, Miami has a tropical monsoon climate (Koppen climate classification Am) with hot, humid summers and short, warm winters marking the dry season. Its sea -level elevation, coastal location, position just above the Tropic of Cancer, and proximity to the Gulf Stream shapes its climate. With January averaging 67.2 °F (19.6 °C), winter features mild to warm temperatures; cool air usually settles after the passage of a cold front, which produces much of the little amount of rainfall. Lows sometimes fall below 50 °F (10 °C), but very rarely below 35 °F (2 °C). Highs generally range between 70-77 °F (21-25 °C). The wet season begins in May, ending in mid -October. During this period, temperatures are in the mid 80's to low 90's (29-35 °C), accompanied by high humidity. High temperatures are often relieved by afternoon thunderstorms or a sea breeze that develops off the Atlantic Ocean, lowering temperatures but keeping humidity relatively high. Much of the year's 55.9 inches (1,420 mm) of rainfall occurs during this period. Extreme temperatures have ranged from lows of 27 °F (2.8 °C) on February 3, 1917 to highs of 100 °F (38 °C) on July 21, 1940. Miami has never recorded any snowfall although there were disputed claims of snow flurries on January 19, 1977. Hurricane season officially C.URI IS + ROGERS DESIGN STUDIO I_,�isi riy ..onditions runs from June 1 through November 30, although hurricanes can develop beyond those dates. The most likely time for Miami to be hit is during the peak of the Cape Verde season, which is mid -August through the end of September. Although tornadoes are uncommon in the Miami area, a tornado struck the city in 1925 and again in 1997. Climate is the long term behavior of the surroundings in a selected region, with specific features such as, temperature, humidity, atmospheric pressure, wind, precipitation, atmospheric particle count and other meteorological variables. Climate differs from weather, in that weather only describes the short-term conditions of these variables in a given region.

Site Microclimate The site microclimate is controlled by a multitude of different man-made and natural elements forming the urban landscape. Theses individual characteristics influence the formation of wind flows, radiation patterns and air temperature we recognize as the outdoor thermal environment. Architecture, landscape architecture and human thermal comfort & health are all causal elements though which microclimate can be analyzed. Data collected from a local weather station can provide information about street level conditions. In order to study the local microclimate at Street Level (air temperature, mean radiant temperature, air speed, and humidity) the closest Weather Station located on site was selected. 11050023 (0.00 miles away) 46929 (5.60 miles away) 59260 (5.60 miles away) 1050022 (5.60 miles away) 1050268 (5.60 miles away) 46710 (7.90 miles away) 1050267 (7.90 miles away) 1049778 (9.70 miles away) Closet Weather Station GBS Weather Station: 1050023 ^Q Year- 2996 Latitude; 25.352981 Longitude:-80.23312 Distance- 0.00 miles Elevab°n: 1.0000 Kendale Lakes Kendall Lakes The Crossings Palmetto Bay Cutler Ridge r...1... c....Biscavne Bav tttiiIlII Iy ale Beach sa, ,6,d,a1aatre,a., Af_j_ Jan Feb Mar �, May Jun Jul Pug Sep Oct No Dec • perGture erature ▪ a�easolar(E1U Bulb ■o, eSONY��r:,�1 Weather Station ID: 1050023 Autodesk Green Building Studio Weather Stations _GBS _06M12_15_296173 300 ROO 150 100 Local microclimates can be wildly different from the closest physical weather station - particularly with elevation changes or locations near geographic features like large bodies of water. Depending on terrain and water features, a single year of simulated data may conform more closely with a location's climate than typical conditions from the closest physical weather station. Air temperature, relative humidity, air motion, and radiant temperature in a site microclimate are key to achieving sustainable human thermal comfort conditions for outdoor spaces. Improvements to roadway geometry and orientation, sidewalk widths, shading structures, materials, building heights and air movement can make outdoor thermal conditions more favorable.

The weather systems can produce sea levels much higher than normal high tide, resulting in extreme coastal and inland flooding. A surge forms when strong winds over the ocean combine with low pressure to drive water onshore. Sometimes called "storm tides," storm surges can cause tremendous damage; if they coincide with high tide, being able to raise water levels by 20 feet or more above mean sea level. :▪ _ ;;. • m, category 3 PIII?a:e„-° FIU http://frances-a.cs.fu.edu/gic/#Iat=25.77240469384962& Ion=-80.201 10333834839 As a result of global sea level rise, storm surges that occur today are eight inches higher than they would have been in 1900.

SLOSH is used to calculate storm surge heights and the extents of inundation for hurricane evacuation studies. Hurricane storm surge heights are influenced by many factors, including hurricane intensity (categorized by the Saffir Simpson hurricane wind scale, ranging from 1 to 5), size (radius of maximum winds), forward speed, the angle of approach to the shoreline, and the characteristics of the coastline. Since many factors influence storm surge heights, maximum inundations from multiple storm surge scenarios are composited into one data layer. For each category of hurricane (1-5), the depth of storm surge inundation is displayed in ranges of water depth above ground —from less than 3 feet above ground (in blue) to greater than 9 feet above ground (in red). Areas within storm surge zones for a category 1 hurricane have the greatest exposure. Site Spell, Areas within storm surge zones for a category 1 hurricane have the grearesr exposure. Severe storms of the future will cause more damage than storms of equal intensity occurring at today's sea level. A Category 1 Surge by 2060 will cause significant impact on the Northeast corner of the project area. https://coast.noaa.gov/floodexposure/@-8930806,2968264,15z/eyJiljoiZGFyaylsImgiOiJzdG9ybVN 1 cmdlfDF8liwicil6ZmFsc2V9 CURTIS + ROGERS DESIGN STUDIO Existing Conditions Climate Issues Storm Surge Storm Surge Storm Surge and Sea Level Rise Storm Surge and Sea Level Rise (SLR) are independent coastal processes that when occurring simultaneously lead to compounded impacts. Sea level rise will increase the inland areal extent inundated by surges, the depth of flooding and power of the surge and the extent and intensity of damage associated with storm surge and waves. As a result, severe storms of the future will cause more damage than storms of equal intensity occurring at today's sea level. Tebaldi et al. (2012) estimate a 100-year magnitude surge flooding (by today's standards) will begin to occur every 20 years at the projected mean sea level in 2050. Regional hazard mapping does not yet include the combined effects of sea level rise and surge but the impacts are anticipated to be significant. 2040 - Area of Inundation from a Category 1 Storm IPCC 2040 • NOAA 2040 0 0.5 1 Miles I 1 1 1 I Meet. by one dtMo,1Tial Planning Department NaPlanningtelS\Resllence_MappingaMX0 :sire �ijeclImc Severe storms of the future will cause more damage than storms of equal intensity occurring at today's sea level.

Measured at tide gauges on every continent and by satellites on orbit, global average sea level has risen about 7 to 8 inches since 1900, with about 3 of those inches occurring since 1993. The observed global increase is due to melting of glaciers and ice sheets on land and the thermal expansion of ocean water as it warms.

In order to better categorize and determine commonalities in the streets of the project area, C+R looked at key characteristics of each street relevant to our scope of work. These characteristics were: Presence of Swales, Condition of Swales, Street Parking, Medians. Overall the predominant size of the ROW within our project boundaries is 50 feet. There are some major corridors at 70 feet and 100 feet. There are also a few streets within neighborhoods that have 60 foot ROW. Less common are streets with 30 - 40 foot ROW, but we did find some. The majority of the Streets have 5 foot sidewalks, and no curbs. C+R has done a complete inventory of each street that calls out the following elements: • Width of ROW • Number of Travel Lanes • Size of Swales (if present) and condition (Dirt/Paved) • Size of medians (if present) and Paved or Vegetated • Street Trees • Street Palms • Overhead Utility Lines • Bike Lanes • Specialty paving, Crosswalks, Roundabouts, or Speed Humps Summaries for each neighborhood are in the body of this report, with detailed breakdowns by street as an Appendix. The purpose of the Typologies is to allow general recommendations and guidelines to be applied to each of the Typologies in the next volume of this report. CURTIS + ROGERS DESIGN STUDIO Existing Conditions TYPOLOGIES Are determined by three factors: 1. Swale a. Vegetated Swale b. Paved/Dirt Swale c. No Swale 2. Parking: a. No Parking b. On -Street Parking 3. Median: a. Vegetated Median b. No Median Typologies may vary regarding the following factors: Size of ROW Number of Travel Lanes Bike Lanes Utility Corridors Size of Swales Size of Medians Sidewalks TYPOLOGY X designates Streets that have unusual or varying conditions and do not fit into any of the defined typologies. The following pages illustrate these typologies in typical Section and Plan, using real streets within the project area as sample streets. In the next volume of this report, the design team will look at ways to improve the conditions within each of these typologies.

There are Commercial corridors on the South (Coral Way) and the East (SW 27th Avenue). The Single Family home areas have more canopy on the private property, and more available green space in the swale areas, with less cars using the swales for parking. There are streets where the swales have been paved with porous asphalt, which appears to have been done by the City, but we were unable to obtain details regarding this.

Coral Gate has limited access points to enter the Community: There are three streets on the western edge from SW 37th Avenue where you can enter; SW 20th Street, SW 17th Street, and SW 16th Terrace. There is only one other entry point which is on the southern edge at Coral Gate Drive. All streets on the eastern and northern boundaries are closed to traffic from SW 32nd Avenue and SW 16th Street. Coral Gate Drive and SW 20th Street are also blocked at their intersection to deter drive through traffic. Due to the limited access and the curving streets that are not on the Miami grid, there is relatively little drive through traffic in this neighborhood. The streets are generally wider with 60 foot Right -of -Ways, with very little evidence of parking in the swales. There are a number of trees in this neighborhood, both in the swales and on private properties. A number of new Oak trees were recently planted by the City of Miami in the swales.

The neighborhood is bordered by Coral Way along the northern edge and US1 to the south. Its east and west borders are SW 17th Avenue and SW 27th Avenue respectively. With commercial uses staying to the edges of the neighborhood along the bordering streets, Silver Bluff is a primary single-family residential neighborhood. Most residential streets are curbed with wide enough right-of-ways to allow for on -street parking however there is some variety. Along many of the avenues which have a much lower frequency of residential frontages, there are also more smaller right-of-ways which, in cases where there were homes with many vehicles, there was much more congestion along the roadway.

Research suggest that these areas require at least 40% canopy coverage to counteract the effects of urban heat islands. This 40 percent is represented by the light green portion of each pie chart. The percentage at the center of each chart represents the total canopy coverage for that area The neighborhoods with the highest percentage of tree canopy are the Roads,Silver Bluff, Shenandoah North & South, and Coral Gate. While the neighborhoods with the least amount of canopy are Citrus Grove, Auburndale, East Little Havana, and Douglas Park. While Latin Quarter shows a relatively large canopy coverage, it accomplishes this with a relatively small amount of trees that are very large; we find this calculation to be somewhat deceptive for this neighborhood, as there are many streets with little to no canopy coverage at all within it.

Much of these areas have been heavily compacted due to parked cars, and significant parts of the swales have been paved over, which are not indicated in this calculation. These percentages have been determined by calculating the difference between the ROW area and the area devoted to roadways (asphalt). The Roads, Coral Gate, Silver Bluff, Shenandoah North & South, and Douglas Park rank the highest in terms of space available to be made pervious. East Little Havana, Latin Quarter, and Citrus Grove rank the lowest in the project area. CURTIS + ROGERS DESIGN STUDIO Existing Conditions Tree Canopy 1 Feasible Pervious Space Tree Canopy In 2015, the World Economic Forum's (WEF) Global Agenda Council (GAC) on the Future of Cities included increasing green canopy cover on their list of top ten urban initiatives: "Cities will always need large —infrastructure projects, but sometimes small—scale infrastructure —from cycle lanes and bike sharing to the planting of trees for climate change adaptation —can also have a big impact on an urban area." Increasing a city's tree canopy contributes to lowering urban temperatures by blocking shortwave radiation and increasing water evaporation. Creating more comfortable microclimates, trees also mitigate air pollution caused by everyday urban activities. Their absorptive root systems also help avoid floods during severe rains and storm surges. °e 0 https://mdc.maps.arcgis.com/apps/webappviewer/index.html?id=4.`'1afb4ce464581 231031 cc80c590 According to the existing data collected by Miami Dade County, the project area has the lowest percentage of tree canopy cover (10-15 % UTC) . Treepedia measures the canopy cover in cities. Rather than count the individual number of trees, it uses a scalable and universally applicable method by analyzing the amount of green perceived while walking down the street. The Green View Index (GVI) was calculated using Google Street View (GSV) panoramas. This method considers the obstruction of tree canopies and classifies the images accordingly. By using GSV rather than satellite imagery, they represent human perception of the environment from the street level. r.-----t..�.---• :Soule areas • I' shows.: I`•• 8% :'faW I Miami • overall 1:I. 6V1 at... 19 4c/ -• Green View Index • I . 3222 Southwest 7th Skeet, Miami, Honda I 33135, United States • • . •...ti... ...t... t. ..'..• ... ...4... .. • • I -.I http://sensea ble.mit.ed u/treeped is/g reenindex/mia mi/kKLZI Woyp4ymp4N UOAG5 ag CURTIS + ROGERS DESIGN STUDIO Existing Conditions Tree Canopy 1 Quantity I Quality I Coverage Tree Canopy Natural Carbon Eaters When a tree breathes, it inhales carbon dioxide and exhales oxygen - the exact opposite of humans.

Removing carbon dioxide from the atmosphere and releasing oxygen in its stead also helps limit global warming, providing for a cleaner, healthier climate Energy Savers The significance of the shade provided by trees cannot be understated. Trees in an urban setting make temperatures in cities bearable. According the to EPA, the a ar y . sue, Lon eeusrce peal( temperatures by as much as 20-45°F (11-25°C) compared to unshaded areas. When shade is cast on an office building or home, internal temperatures can drop 8-10°F. Some estimates indicate the shade from a single tree can save the same amount of energy used to power 10 room -sized air conditioners for 20 hours a day. This reduction in energy goes a long way when it comes to shrinking your carbon footprint because more than a third of U.S. carbon emissions are caused by the production of electricity. Beyond Carbon Benefits Helping reduce carbon emissions is only one aspect of how trees help improve our lives. Trees have an incredible ability to absorb and retain water. As rainwater falls, much of it gets picked up by trees, preventing it from ending up in storm drains. average, a mature tree that would otherwise need to be pumped and filtered, requiring additional energy. In New York City, urban trees help retain nearly 900 million gallons of rainwater annually, saving the city more than $35 million dollars in stormwater management costs. Trees also provide social, economic and health benefits. They create jobs, shelter, medicine and so much more. These more indirect benefits of trees help raise people out of poverty and achieve sustainable development ultimately improving our environment.

Tree Canopy I The Benefit of Urban Trees Tree Canopy Pavement is an urbanite's worst enemy in the summer. It traps the sun's rays in two ways: first, by absorbing the incoming sunshine, trapping heat and boosting the daytime temperature, then releasing that heat as darkness falls, preventing colder nighttime temps from cooling things off. This phenomenon, known as heat island effect, is a long-standing problem in urban areas with more asphalt, becoming increasingly problematic as global warming heats the planet more rapidly than ever before. One method to mitigate the heat island effect has come out on top: that being trees. By blocking the sunlight and using evapotranspiration (in other words evaporating water from their leaves), trees cool the air around them. How many urban trees do we need? The answer is simple: More trees is almost always better. Understanding the relationship between the number of trees in a given area, and the overall cooling effect that amount of urban forest has is necessary. come sruares nave snown at me city bock revel, at rook at feast to counteract the warming effect of the asphalt. More coverage induces more of a cooling effect, but even at less than half the street shaded, cities were able to real ben 40 percent is an over all number however, the degree to which a tree can help cool the air depends on the percent of impervious ground cover there is —more pavement works against the trees cooling effect. With three-quarters of a low -pavement area covered, we could see more than 2.5°C in cooling, but that level was unachievable on blocks with mostly asphalt. Most of the effects seen were smaller, more on the degree of 0.5 to 1.0°C. This does not, however, mean the addition of trees is insignificant. The benefits that various blocks saw increased by 0.2 to 0.6°C on the hottest summer days, amplifying the effect on days when residents would be most likely to have health problems from the heat (and to up their energy consumption). Additionally, planting trees had proportionally higher effects than did reducing the impervious surfaces on a street. As most cities are less likely to remove asphalt the addition of canopy can be another solution for reducing heat. The best thing, of course, would be to eliminate as much pavement as possible while also installing more trees. In lieu of that ideal world, focusing on those areas with the lowest canopy coverage initially is encouraged rather than try to help already -shady blocks. As we combat climate change, we have to be aware of the socioeconomic and racial inequities already plaguing cities. Low income areas with high proportions of minorities generally have less access to green space already, whereas wealthy neighborhoods tend to have much higher vegetation coverage. To create the biggest and most equitable impact, planting trees must start in areas that don't already have them. https://www.popsci.com/sha de -city -streets -trees -cooling/ E Research notes that the best strategy would be to cover as much of the site as possible in greenery, but even planting more trees along a single block produced measurable cooling. Strategically placing trees to shade yards, walking paths, and even the insides of homes can make a significant difference for the experience of residents.

Watershed Morphology We typically think of watersheds as areas bounded by a ridgeline, with a recognizable high point and a singular low point, and a well-defined, uniform flow of water from uphill to downhill. Miami's geomorphology gives rise to unique watersheds, often having multiple, subtle transverse flowlines. The hydrology of the everglades, in concert with the porous geology of the Miami region and the influence of tidal pressure, creates a complex relationship between land and water and between saltwater and fresh water. Water moves with the tides, and from east to west along glades or sloughs.

Despite these dramatic alterations to the natural hydrology, during extreme weather and high tides, the historic network of transverse glades still asserts itself. A careful study of the topography reveals a chain of higher "Everglades Keys" rising above the lower sloughs. These subtle changes in elevation are barely noticeable but play a vital role in shaping the city's flood vulnerabilities. - - Miami -Dade county ■ Waterbody Everglades Basin ■ Transverse Glades Slough ■ Everglades Keys or atolls of slightly higher land 19th Century Everglades Source: Analytic graphics generated by LOLA - - Miami -Dade county — Canals ▪ Waterbody ▪ Remnant Atolls Urban Land Everglades + Nature Preserves Current day Everglades CURTIS + ROGERS DESIGN STUDIO LOCAL OFFICE LANDSCAPE a uRaAn DESIGN Existing Conditions Watershed Mapping I Context Urbanization and Low -land Vulnerabilities A comparison between the 19th century hydrology of Miami -Dade County and the current patterns reveal how the movement of water has changed due to wide -scale drainage of the Everglades. As urbanization expanded, the hydrology system was altered to create additional areas for urban infill. However, with urbanization comes an increase in impervious surfaces. Fast-moving runoff flows toward these lower areas of infill, jeopardizing homes built within the former sloughs. As a result, these areas are vulnerable to flooding even during minor rain events. 19th Century • t ▪ AM - - Miami -Dade county ■ Waterbody Everglades Basin ■ Transverse Glades Slough ■ Everglades Keys or atolls of slightly higher land 21 st Century Source: Analytic graphics generated by LOLA - - Miami -Dade county — Canals ▪ Waterbody ▪ Remnant Atolls Urban Land Everglades + Nature Preserves 19th Century Slough 20th Century Slough CURTIS + ROGERS DESIGN STUDIO LOCAL OFFICE LAN OSGnPE k .8.. DESIGN existing Conditions Watershed Mapping I Context Study Area Vulnerabilities The study area is not only defined by street grids and neighborhood boundaries, but also by the surrounding contextual landforms and related hydrology. The relative high ground of the study area is due to its location within the remnant Everglade Keys. Higher ground is protected from immediate risks of coastal flooding and sea level rise, but transverse water movement persists due to the geology of the Everglades watershed. Within the study area we can see subtle elevations and depressions that illustrate how water moved in pre -development sloughs. The remnants of atolls and sloughs reveal specific vulnerabilities within the study area boundary.

' • CURTIS + ROGERS DESIGN STUDIO Analysis Main Takeaways The variations of green represent the existing canopy coverage within the project area; darker shades indicating greater coverage and lighter indicating less. The areas lacking in canopy are easily recognized within the neighborhoods. Red line -work indicates hot spots, or areas within the neighborhoods where, due to inadequate canopy coverage, temperatures and the effects of heat island are likely much higher. In neighborhoods such as Silver Bluff, Shenandoah North, Coral Gate, and the Roads, where canopy coverage is generally higher there are far less incidences of these hot spots, except along major roadways or in some case higher density areas such as that in Silver Bluff. However, in neighborhoods with some of the least canopy coverage, like those in the northern half of the project area i.e., Auburndale, Citrus Grove and East Little Havana as well as Douglas Park to the Southwest, there are large swaths of neighborhoods that fall within a hot spot. These low canopy areas leave already vulnerable populations at an even greater risk to excessive heat exposure, poor air quality, and increased flooding due to poor stormwater drainage and uptake. To address one of the project goals of greater equity of canopy coverage among the different neighborhoods, hot spots begin to set the tone for where the greatest sense of urgency should be towards new planting initiatives.

The graphs shown provide the numbers behind what 40% canopy coverage means for the project area in terms of the number of trees as well as the amount of carbon to be captured and the gallons of water to be absorbed, highlighting these data points as key factors in mitigating the effects of climate change. The graphs show current numbers and percentages at the far left with an initial goal of 25% canopy coverage at the center and the ultimate goal of 40% on the far right.

The project goal of creating greater equity of canopy coverage among the different neighborhoods hinges upon using demographic, economic and land use data to show the areas of greatest need. Exposing these hot spots with higher instances of vulnerable populations within the project area assists with the generation of a priority hierarchy begins to develop the strategies for increasing canopy coverage across the entire project area to a modest goal of 25% to start, and ultimately 40% in each neighborhood. Planting initiatives should start in the areas shown graphically as High priority, as these are the areas most vulnerable to the impacts of low canopy coverage, and are therefore the areas where the most significant changes can be made. CURTIS + ROGERS DESIGN STUDIO Analysis Analysis 1 Hot Spot Priority Next Steps We have broken down the strategies and actions proposed to achieve each of the project goals: Strengthen the sense of place, neighborhood identity and aesthetics, through the identification of strategic tree planting locations at gateways, thoroughfares and choice of species to identify specific districts along major corridors, and the reintroduction of native local plant species The team shall use the tree species identified in the tree survey to help develop a recommended plant pallette for each neighborhood. We will identify general locations for different species according to; available planting space, proximity to overhead utilities, and proximity to saltwater. i.e.: Large canopy trees for larger swales and smaller canopy trees for placement under power lines and in restricted swales. Accent species for the neighborhoods will also be identified and potential locations for important entry/accent points to the different neighborhoods. Build the community's resilience to the impacts of climate change through tree shading to reduce the heat island effect Strategy & Actions: The team will take the information and analysis from this volume to identify areas of higher priority for intervention. The team will then develop locations where, based on the analysis, pilot projects can be developed that will be used to set standards within the City for improvements within the ROW that will increase resiliency and reduce the heat island effect. Maintain and enhance the quality of the air, water and land through a mature tree canopy's ability to sequester carbon and release oxygen, and filter storm water Strategy & Actions• The team will examine ways that the City can encourage and incentivize property owners to increase the amount of mature canopy within their property. The ROW only makes up about 25% of the overall acreage of this portion of the City; therefore, even if 100% of the ROW was tree canopy, the City would not meet the current recommendations for coverage. Education of the importance of tree canopy will be addressed, but the team will specifically look for other ways that the City can encourage more planting on private property, through Code Enforcement, Code Requirements, City lead initiatives and ways to improve implementation of existing programs like the Tree Trust Fund, and new Incentive programs for tree canopy and water filtration and storage. CURTIS + ROGERS DESIGN STUDIO Promote and encourage actions that reduce greenhouse gas emissions through the creation of attractive and comfortable pedestrian and cycling routes which foster the use of alternate modes of transportation gY & Actions: The team will look at ways to make all neighborhoods equitable in terms of walkability. Current analysis shows that the neighborhoods that are currently the most walkable (shaded sidewalks) are also the areas where more residents drive. Whereas the neighborhoods with less vehicles and more residents relying on public transportation or other methods, like walking or biking, are currently the least walkable areas within the project area. We will identify high priority areas where residents connect to public transportation corridors and need to walk to the bus stops. Create a road map by which a sustainable urban forest can be developed, and implement a planning process that will support and cultivate the maintenance of ecological, social and economic functions and benefits, over time strategy & Actions: The Team will create this road map through: • The development of the neighborhood plant pallettes which emphasize diversity and resiliency of species. • Recommendations for planting specifications that will help new trees develop into healthy and safe trees • Recommendations for maintenance practices to ensure that the new trees are being properly cared for and enabling them to meet their full potential. • Recommendations for placement of trees in swales in areas where parking has been problematic. These recommendations may include different infrastructure for the trees than what is currently specified. Promote awareness with City residents, on the benefits of trees, through community education and outreach Starting on the next phase of this project includes Community meetings. One at the beginning of this phase which will gather public opinions as well as educating the communities on the benefits of trees and the statistics of what we have found for each of the neighborhoods. The team has begun to develop simple graphics and diagrams to help convey and educate the residents, as well as questionnaires and surveys to gather information. The Second meeting will happen after the Pilot projects and Master Plan have been developed and will inform the residents of our strategies for improving their communities. Analysis 1 Next Steps
