Parkes Acting Director Department of Public Works bMt: November 30, 1976 fILt Ut)Jtc't State Department of Transporta- tion Budget Requests (1977-78) Resolution to Metropolitan Dade RErERENCESCounty ENCLOSURES Map and Resolution Metropolitan Dade County has requested our cooperation in advising them of the road and bridge projects within our municipality which should be considered for inclusion in the 19ortationnd Roadefollowing lmprovementSProgram. Florida State Department of Transp The County has suggested that we give our attention to this matter and indicated that any updating or new proeeectsfnecessity would largely be limited to the last year of the 5 y program In selecting our recommendations for the 1977-78 Department of Transporta- tion budget, we have not included any new projects in order not to water down our requests. We have left out one project, NW 17 Avenue from NW 64 Street to the North City limits, because we have learned that construc- tion is iminent. Instead we have requested the County to resubmit thoseprojects d thoseplanned in the 1976-77 budget (including the following 5 years) under Dade County "Decade of Progress" Bond Program (but not under con- struction by July 1, 1977) and to have their construction expedited. Each year we are requested to recommend to the County, road and bridge projects to be included in the State D.O.T. budget but a very small per- centage of our requests are ever included and ultimately constructed. Last year we only included three projects which we urged the County to assign the highest rank in the order of accomplishment within the nextami few years. Two of the three projects were requested by y City of in previous years. One project was a request which we had previously made to the County to accomplish as part of their maintenance of the median along Coral Way, but they refused. "SUPPORTIVE DOCUMENTS FOLLOW" MEIER 11111 OMMEr n MEER mE- mmi - 114 ffk 1► Joseph R0 Orassie This year we will list the same three projects With the addition of a 4th project which we would like to have accomplished and concentrating our efforts to this end. We requested the County to give these projects pre- ferential consideration in as much as they are in dire need of improvement. The four projects included are: 1. Widen Biscayne Boulevard from NE 6 Street to NE 13 Street 2. Full development of SW 8 Street including drainage from West City limits to SW 27 Avenue (included in 1976-77 for resurfacing only) West Flagler Street from S.C.L. R/R to west 42 Avenue 4. SW 22 Street (Coral Way) median curb and gutter construction from SW 37 Avenue to SW 12 Avenue Biscayne Boulevard between NE 6 Street and NE 13Street consist . Thep feig pavement inadequate traffic lanes with a narrow landscaped has recently been resurfaced which has someinadequate. uateat elped Thethe Cityihasibeen• -- The storm drainage facilities are very Q requesting the State to redevelop Biscayne Boulevard with adequate drainage in this area for about 10 years This portion of Biscayne Boulevard (U.S. #1) is adjacent to our new Bicen- tennial Park as well as acting as an entaSnaemoderndowntown progressive com- munity. shouldbe improved to reflect our image We are again requesting S.W. 8 Street between the West City limits and S.W. 27 Avenue be included in the 1977-78urfacin et for as recommendedpbynthen cludindraingearather than for just re g Ross & Assoc. for the State. A study was made several yesi�inago ofySHW.JB Street from the State D.O.T. which recommended rebus g _ Pal- metto Expressway to S.W. 27 Avenue, and making S. 7 Street a tiakole Avenue street with S. 8 Street easterly from S.W. in (U.S. #1). S.W. 8 Street is a designatedstate road (State.S.Road1)#90)and is - the Primary System (also a federal designtag ady a direct connector between Miami and the west coast of Florida. r`lagler Street is another street in the City of major importance that needs complete redevelopment, certainly west of 22 Avenue. The Decade of Progress includes redevelopment of Flagler Street from W. 42 Avenue to W. 22 Avenue However, emphasis should be placed on redeveloping Flagler Street all the way to the Seaboard Coast Line R/R Tracks east of 72 Avenue. This area of Miami has developed with high density residential multi -story units which generate considerable traffic on Flagler Street. This is a main east -west arterial leading directly into the downtown area, The City recently completed construction of curb and gutter, pavement widening, drainage and landscaping on Coral Way between S.W. 37 Avenue and S.W. 27 Avenue. The portion between S.W. 27 Avenue and S.W. 22 Avenue is presently under construction. The City contemplates continuing this con- struction on both sides of Coral Way easterly to S.W. 12 Avenue. Since all of Coral Way in the Miami City limits has been designated as a Metropolitan Arterial Street and the County maintains the median in Coral Way, we are requesting the installation of curb and gutter around thr median between S.W. 37 Avenue and S.W. 12 Avenue similar to what has been done at certain locations in the unincorporated area. It would be desirable for the County to install median curbs and gutters inconjunction with or at least immedi- ately following the successive stages of our work. Dade County is using "Decade of Progress Bond money to rebuild streets in the County with very little being spent in the City while about 25% of these bonds will be paid off by taxes collected in the City of Miami. In April, 1975 the City Commission adopted Resolution #75-360 requesting installation of curb and gutter around the center parkway on Coral Way between S.W. 37 Avenue and S.W. 12 Avenue. To date we have been unsuc- cessful in having Dade County improve any part of Coral Way in the City limits. The City is again requesting the County and the D.O.T. to implement those mutually recommended improvements for Downtown Miami listed in the report "Downtown Miami - A Conceptual Transportation Plan" which have not been initiated in the 1976-77 Department of Transportation budget and to accel- erate the preliminary study and construction of the two projects included last year. These projects are as follows: Jo sph Ri Crass e *I, A new Miami River Crossing Bonnecting Biscayne Boulevard with Brickell Avenue Transportation improvements Within Dupont Blaze to facilitate Biscayne Boulevard/F'95 and Brickell Avenue/1-95 traffic movement (proposes elevated structures) Widen S.E. 2nd Street from S.E. 2nd Avenue to Miami Avenue Increase capacity of N. 1 Street from Biscayne Boulevard to the Miami River Realign and improve East 3rd Avenue Widen Biscayne Boulevard from N.E. 6 - 13 Street (also in- cluded as project to be given preferential consideration) Develop a Port Boulevard -Biscayne Boulevard separation and tie into one way pair streets (5 & 6 or 6 & 7 Streets) * (Included Projects) Attached is a map we prepared for your use. We have also prepared a larger map for presentation to the City of Miami Commission showing our latest recommendations, our requests for projects which are currently in the State budget, and those projects planned for in the "Decade of Progress" Bond Program and "Downtown Miami. - A Conceptual Transportation Plan". THE DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC WORKS RECOMMENDS TIIE ADOPTION OF THE ATTACHED RESOLUTION URGING THE METROPOLITAN DADE COUNTY COMMISSION TO EXPEDITE THE CONSTRUCTION OF THOSE STREETS WITHIN THE CITY OF MIAMI INCLUDED IN THEIR "DECADE OF PROGRESS BOND ROAD PROGRAM AND TO REQUEST THE IMPLEMEN- TATION OF PRELIMINARY ENGINEERING STUDIES AND CONSTRUCTION OF THOSE ROAD AND BRIDGE PROJECTS IN THE CITY OF MIAMI AS LISTED HEREIN TO BE INCLUDED OR REINCLUDED IN THE 1977-78 (AND THE FOLLOWING 5 YEARS) FLORIDA STATE DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION ADVANCE PLANNING PROGRAM WITH EMPHASIS ON THOSE PROJECTS AS LISTED IN TIIE "DOWNTOWN MIAMI- A CONCEPTUAL TRANSPORTA- TION PLAN" AND DIRECTING TIIE CITY CLERK TO FORWARD COPIES OF THIS RESO- LUTION TO THE PROPER METROPOLITAN DADE COUNTY OFFICIALS.
