Significant redevelopment and densification have taken place in the past and a similar trend is expected to continue in the foreseeable future. The Downtown Miami Master Plan and Miami 21 present an aggressive vision and development plan for the Miami of the 21st century. An efficient and robust transportation system is vital to sustain and underpin the planned growth. This document presents an evaluation of the City’s existing transportation system and potential improvement strategies. A major emphasis area is to identify mass transit options to relieve traffic congestion and support sustainable growth in Downtown Miami. Why Transit Investments in Downtown Miami Make Sense? x Population density comparable to large metropolitan cities (see graph on page 3) x Higher population density than other cities in Miami-Dade County (see graph on page 4) x Significant population growth between 2000 and 2006 x Highest concentration of employment in Miami-Dade County (see graph on page 5) x More than 150,000 vehicles entering or leaving on a weekday x Existing transit serves as the foundation to an expanded future transit system x High transit ridership demonstrates attractiveness of transit as mobility alternative to automobile Supporting Facts x City of Miami Key Facts Year 2000 population was 362,470 persons density was 10,161 persons per square mile Year 2006 population was 404,048 persons density was 11,327 persons per square mile population change from 2000 to 2006 Î an increase of 11.5 percent x Downtown Miami Key Facts (year 2000) Estimated population was 20,141 persons Estimated employment was 194,000 persons Transportation Enhancement Strategies for Downtown Miami Page 1 x Transit Facilities in Downtown Miami Metrorail Boardings on an average weekday o Brickell Station – 3,475 o Government Center Station – 11,363 (highest boarding in the system) o Overtown/Arena Station – 1,759 Boardings per year o Brickell Station – 1,025,000 o Government Center Station – 3,213,000 (highest boarding in the system) o Overtown/Arena Station – 554,000 Metromover Boardings on an average weekday – 27,903 Boardings per month – 8,623,000 Metrobus – Total boardings of 23 bus routes serving Downtown Miami Boardings on an average weekday – 100,112 Boardings per month – 31,800,000 x Traffic Volume in Downtown Miami Approximately 150,000 – 200,000 vehicles enter/leave Downtown Miami every day Sources x U.S. Census Bureau x Miami Downtown Development x Florida Department of Transportation x Miami-Dade Transit Transportation Enhancement Strategies for Downtown Miami Page 2 Comparison of Population Density (2006) of Select Major Cities (per square mile) 30,000 Source: U.S. Census Bureau 25,000 20,000 15,000 10,000 5,000 0 Jacksonville West Palm Orlando Atlanta Las Vegas Los Angeles Miami Miami Chicago San Downtown New York Beach Beach Francisco Miami City Transportation Enhancement Strategies for Downtown Miami Page 3 Comparison of Population Density (2005) of Select Cities in Miami-Dade County (per square mile) 20,000 Source: Florida Department of Transportation 18,000 16,000 14,000 12,000 10,000 8,000 6,000 4,000 2,000 0 Doral North Miami Hialeah Miami Miami Beach Downtown Miami Transportation Enhancement Strategies for Downtown Miami Page 4 Comparison of Employment Density (2005) of Select Cities in Miami-Dade County (per square mile) 120,000 Source: Florida Department of Transportation 100,000 80,000 60,000 40,000 20,000 0 Doral North Miami Hialeah Miami Miami Beach Downtown Miami Transportation Enhancement Strategies for Downtown Miami Page 5 Roadway System Existing Highway System Downtown Miami is primarily connected to the region via two expressways: I-95 and I-395/SR 836. Local mobility is facilitated by a grid roadway network, which provides multiple travel alternatives for motorists. The majority of local streets are two-lane facilities with closely spaced traffic signals and on-street parking. Several local streets are designed as one-way facilities. Due to dense development, opportunities for roadway widening are virtually nonexistent. The following map series illustrate Downtown Miami’s existing roadway network and its characteristics. Photo credit: Marc Averette (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Downtown_Miami) Transportation Enhancement Strategies for Downtown Miami Page 6 Potential Roadway Improvements The Port of Miami Tunnel project could greatly reduce truck traffic in downtown streets thus improving the pedestrian friendliness of streets and environment of the area. The other notable projects include I- 395 reconstruction, I-95 Managed Lanes (95 Express), and several corridor enhancement projects. The corridor enhancement projects typically include pedestrian facilities and aesthetics which are important for a modern central business district. Several one-way streets are being considered to be converted to two-way streets to provide improved access and enhance conditions for pedestrians. In addition, Intelligent Transportation System (ITS) applications are being considered to maximize the utilization of the existing facilities.

    Miami-Dade Transit Metromover Fleet Management Plan _______________________________________________________ _________________________________________________ Roosevelt Bradley Director June 2003 Revision III Mission Statement “To meet the needs of the public for the highest quality transit service: safe, reliable, efficient and courteous.” ________________________________________________________________ Metromover Fleet Management Plan June 2003 Revision III MIAMI-DADE TRANSIT METROMOVER FLEET MANAGEMENT PLAN June 2003 This document is a statement of the processes and practices by which Miami- Dade Transit (MDT) establishes current and projected Metromover revenue- vehicle fleet size requirements and operating spare ratio. It serves as an update of the October 2000 Fleet Management Plan and includes a description of the system, planned revenue service, projected growth of the system, and an assessment of vehicle maintenance current and future needs. Revisions of the October 2000 Fleet Management Plan contained in the current plan include: • Use of 2-car trains as a service improvement to address overcrowding during peak periods • Implementation of a rotation program to normalize vehicle mileage within the fleet • Plans to complete a mid-life modernization of the vehicle fleet Metromover’s processes and practices, as outlined in this plan, comply not only with Federal Transit Administration (FTA) Circular 9030.1B, Chapter V, Section 15 entitled, “Fixed Guideway Rolling Stock,” but also with supplemental information received from FTA. This plan is a living document based on current realities and assumptions and is, therefore, subject to future revision. The plan is updated on a regular basis to assist in the planning and operation of Metromover. The Fleet Management Plan is structured to present the demand for service and methodology for analysis of that demand in Section Two.

  • Transit-Oriented Hyperdensity in Miami: Year 2100 Kenner N
    Policy Memorandum Tropical Dense[city]:Transit-Oriented Hyperdensity in Miami: Year 2100 Kenner N. Carmody, M.Des Energy & Environments 2019 Problem: This research aims to visualize and better understand future required housing stock necessary to accommodate displaced populations in Miami’s Allapattah neighborhood affected by sea level rise and resultant tidal inundation by the year 2100 (NOAA Office for Coastal Management). Property data, local geography and NOAA sea-level rise projections within this time-scale are used in order to propose greater density in Miami due to lost surface area. This study evaluates the existing spatial capacity and density distribution under current zoning policy, Miami 21. This study reveals that the current zoning code, overlay districts, and Neighborhood Development Zones (NDZ) within the population catchment area of Allapattah are maladaptive. - The spatial analysis in this research assumes a residential occupancy of 1 person per 450 square feet (41.8m2), and floor to floor heights of 14’-0” (4.2m). - The criteria for this displacement assumes intracity relocation within Miami’s urban core, and excludes populations affected outside of the target study area of Allapattah. - This model assumes relocation within a population catchment area in Allapattah at elevations of 6’-0” above sea level and assumes density increases along Miami’s legacy Metrorail system. - This study excludes future population growth from the required future housing scenario. Figures Housing: - Total Population in Allapattah: 58,978 (2010 Census Data); 62,929 (2017 Estimate) - Total Housing Units: 22,255 - Unit Mix: Studio: 3% 1-Bedroom: 8%; 2-Bedroom: 35%; 3-Bedroom: 20%; 4-Bedroom: 17%; 5-Bedroom: 7%; 6-Bedroom: 4%; > 6% - The majority of housing stock in Allapattah predates 1975 and is poorly suited to its geography and climate.

    ANNUAL REPORT 2013 2014 MESSAGE TO OUR ABOUT US: The Miami Downtown Development Authority is an independent agency of the City of Miami DWNTWNRS funded by a special tax levy on properties within its district boundaries. The agency is governed by a 15-member board of directors, which includes three public appointees and 12 downtown property As we look back on the past year and embark on the one ahead, the facts are undeniable: Downtown Miami owners, business owners, and/or residents. The board sets policy direction, which is implemented by continues to defy expectations as one of the largest and most viable urban centers in the country. With dozens of a multi-disciplinary team under the oversight of the executive director. cranes proliferating our skyline and new construction on the rise, a livable and walkable urban core has gone from being a promise to a reality. Today, Downtown Miami stands tall with more than 220,000 people working and 80,750 people living in the district. This marks a population growth of more than 100 percent over the past decade – painting a picture of one of the fastest growing and youngest demographics in the country. Although the past year has welcomed a flurry of exciting developments, next year holds even more promise. Yet, we don’t need to tell you of this transformation; you see it unfold each and every day. From the launch of Pérez Art Museum Miami, to the soon-to-be-completed Patricia and Phillip Frost Museum of Science, to the successful Adrienne Arsht Center for the Performing Arts and the AmericanAirlines Arena, Downtown Miami is earning its reputation as an epicenter for arts and culture.
