First of all, as asked - Temporary traffic tables coming to Farmer’s Road. I am proud to be part of the team, working through our Village Manager and the Public Services, to place the temporary traffic tables on Farmers Road prior to the commencement of the County’s Pilot Program.
The County believes that this test project will provide them with valuable information to ease traffic flow in this area. I take my responsibility as Mayor seriously and will always work on behalf of the many residents living in the area surrounding the pilot, to be responsive to their concerns for the closure and the impact on their streets. It was at my request, that the Village Manager has set to replace the temporary speed humps on Farmer's Road and taking a traffic count of that area in an effort to monitor any adverse impact to our local streets. Rest assured that I, as your mayor, along with all our village council members will continue to monitor the project closely and following up with resident concerns.
As I previously
advised (Jan 20, 2017 - Miami-Dade County News Release - Old Cutler Road &SW 136th Street Test Project), the Miami-Dade County Department of
Transportation & Public Works (DTPW) is set to pilot a traffic flow
initiative in District 1 on the borders of Pinecrest and Palmetto Bay at 136th
street and Old Cutler Road. The up to 90-day project will temporarily restrict
northbound left turns at the intersection of Old Cutler Road and SW 136 Street
and is scheduled to commence on January 31s.
This project was part of the discussions of the community meeting held
on Tuesday, 1/24/20017, hosted by Commissioner Daniella Levine Cava and County Public
Works officials. I represented Palmetto
Bay. Pinecrest was represented by 4 out
of 5 of its council members. Concerns
were expressed and Commissioner Cava and I, along with the County officials
advised that the pilot data findings will be shared at the conclusion of the
pilot.
You can read the County Press Release Please continue to contact me to discuss your concerns related to the closure. I can be reached at 305-302-3713 or
at eflinn@palmettobay-fl.gov. Remember, as this is a county project, so please,
do not hesitate to contact our County Commissioner, Daniella Levine Cava
through her District 8 County Commission offices at district8@miamidade.gov
As always, I look forward to working with you to improve Palmetto Bay,
making it an even better place to make your home, raise your families; to live,
learn, play and work.
