April 15, 1977 I NW 5111 Avenue: Street Closure Edison son School Site U (.tatiC Eta. £t LLOSI)RtS. ttt.t. In response to the City Commission's request that the administration meet with residents around the new Edison High School to discuss possible alterna- tives to the closure of NW 5th Avenue through the school site, a meeting. was held at the school situ at 6:00 PM Monday, April 11, 1977. Nine residents met with representatives of the School Board, the Dade County Department of '1raf1'ie and Transportation and the City of hliaitti Departments of Public: Works and Planning. The residents in attendance were those that had attended the Commission meeting conc:et twig this iteiu. The alternatives suggested by the residents are as follows: 1. Provide a new NW 3rA .A enue through the s hvitl's playl'ie,ld, between NW 60th and 62nd Streets, in line with existing NW rd :\venue to the south of 60th Street. Provide a new T"\V 5th Avenue between the school building and the playfield, between NW 60th and 62.nd Street, east of the former alignment of NW 5th Avenue closed by school. e:onstruetiutt. 3. Provide a new south -bound N'N 5th Court through the proposed parking lot for the school, between NW 60th and 62nd Streets, and between the existing combined northbound NW 5th Court/1-95 Expressway off -ramp and the school building. 4. Close the new 62nd Street exit ramp from 1-95 and re -open the o9th Street exit ramp which would restore NW 511h Court to two-way street between 60th and 62nd Streets. Page 1of2 Mr, Joseph 12. Grassie April 15, 1977 Alternatives 1, 2 and 3 are not in the best interest of sound school site planning and devetoptnent necessary fur quality educational facilities. '1 he Edison School is presently below State required site area standards and utili4ing the school site for additional right-of-way would further increase the deficiency. Additionally, providing a thoroughfare through the play field, or between the school building and the playfietd, as suggested by alternatives 1 and 2 would subject approximately 1800 students to crossing a thoroughfare two or more limes a day during the course of the school day. `i'1►e last alternative is inappropriate due to the extensive need for improvements to 1-95 in this area for expressway widening and traffic safety purposes, part of which included the construction of the new NW 62nd Street exit ramp (adjacent to NW 5th Court), and the closing of the NW 5,1th Street and NW 69th Street exit rat►mps, It is recommended that none of the alternatives be considered turther a►►d that NW 5th Avenue he officially closed, rather than impose additional restrictions on the stu Tents of the entire com►►munity, The analysis reveal: that the main concern of a limited number of reside►►ts in this neighborhood is one of alternative travel distance between the 7th Avenue and h2nd Street shopping concentrations and their residences, and this distance is less than three-quarters of a mile in most instances.
