Proposed vehicular restriction
in the Coral Gate neighborhood
ENCLOSURES Location Map
On February 23, 1989, the City Commission adopted Resolution No. 89-211 directing the
permanent prohibition of vehicular access to SW 33 Avenue south of its intersection with SW 21
Street, conditioned upon access for emergency vehicles be provided at all times through the
barricade. The City of Miami Fire -Rescue Department subsequently opened the Shenandoah fire -
rescue facility providing improved emergency service to the Coral Gate neighborhood, thereby
changing the conditions under which the barricade was originally approved. Based upon these
changed conditions, residents of the Coral Gate neighborhood have requested that all vehicular
access be prohibited through the barricade across SW 33 Avenue, including emergency vehicles,
and that the neighborhood perimeter wall be extended across the SW 33 Avenue right of way. In
response, the City administration is conducting a re-evaluation of the condition to provide
emergency vehicle access through the barricade and the effects, if any, of the elimination of the
condition that access for emergency vehicles be provided through the SW 33 Avenue barricade.
Under this proposal, pedestrian access shall continue to be permitted at all times through the
barricade/wall.
As directed by Miami City Code Section 54-16, the Public Works Department is soliciting
written comments and recommendations concerning the proposed elimination of emergency
vehicle access through the SW 33 Avenue barricade from the Police, Fire -Rescue and Solid
Waste Departments for presentation to the City Commission at their January 12, 2017 meeting.
Please call me at 305-416-1200 if you have any questions concerning this matter.
