DISCLAIMER AS TO OTHER VILLAGE AREAS: There other areas in study, but simply not ready for rollout at this time. The listed projects have no impact on single neighborhood/street traffic calming such as Traffic Tables and / or traffic enforcement (including CITE program).
DEFINED PROJECTS POSTED AT THIS TIME:
The project board notes the present study areas:
1. Downtown Redevelopment2. A. Neighborhood access study (77th Av canal east to Old Cutler Road, 160th Canal north to Coral Reef Drive).B. Neighborhood Access Study (Malbrook)3. Old Cutler Road at SW 67th Av & SW 136th Street4. Old Cutler Road at 176th Street (Turbo Lane)5. A. Old Cutler Road at SW 168th Street (reversible lane)B. Old Cutler Road at SW 152nd Street (reversible lane)C. Old Cutler Road at SW 144th Street (reversible lane)
Malbrook: Recommendations include: half street closure on SW 86th
Avenue, a no right turn sign on 84th Avenue and 168th
Street, increasing capacity of the 87th & 168th Traffic
Circle to 2 lanes with a right lane [a dedicated (partial) third lane] from
northbound 87th to eastbound 168th Street increasing
capacity.
This is NOT a pilot program, we are currently modeling and will implement if it works per the modeling.
The modeling will be completed in approximately 6 weeks and the modifications
will begin in very early 2019 (we are relying on the County and working out a
construction schedule taking into account the school year).
I look forward to meeting with the members of the affected neighborhoods
once the modeling is completed – before we commence any of the
modifications.
Special note at to Malbrook /
174 Street: I have made a request for Miami-Dade County (DTPW) for action
to improve the safety of the 87th Avenue / SW 174th Street
intersection. Potential fixes would include traffic circle or signal light at
this intersection.
152/77th Area: We are now modeling a traffic circle at 152
and Old Cutler Road with a dedicated turn lane form 152 to Old Cutler Road South
and restricting cut through traffic through the neighborhood South of 152
Street.
This is NOT a pilot program, that we are currently modeling and we will
implement if it works per the modeling. The modeling will be completed in approximately
6 weeks and the modifications will begin in very early 2019 (we are relying on
the County and working out a construction schedule taking into account the
school year).
I look forward to meeting with the members of the affected neighborhoods
once the modeling is completed – before we commence any of the
modifications.
Farmers Road/Old Cutler North:
We are now modeling two traffic circles on Old Cutler Road at SW 136th
Street and at 67th Avenue. Traffic diverters on Old Cutler Road at Farmer’s
Road and Cartee Road.
This is NOT a pilot program, that we are currently modeling and we will
implement if it works per the modeling. The modeling will be completed in approximately
6 weeks and the modifications will begin in very early 2019 (we are relying on
the County and working out a construction schedule taking into account the
school year).
I look forward to meeting with the members of the affected neighborhoods
once the modeling is completed – before we commence any of the
modifications.
Old Cutler Road – overall: We are looking at how we can eliminate
traffic signals along that entire corridor to improve the flow of traffic along
Old Cutler Road. Improved traffic flow
should reduce cut through traffic.
Downtown, we are updating
the traffic study to ensure we never exceed capacity of the existing street
grid and eliminate cut through traffic into the residential community
Overall remarks: This is
what is being done on top of all other areas we are studying and moving forward
with.
I also pledge to continue increasing transit options like our park and
ride and on demand free rides
Lastly the fight for a usable transit system is far from over………. I am
the only candidate with a proven record of negotiating successfully with the
county
