Chapter 6 Ten Year Implementa Tion Plan TEN YEAR IMPLEMENTATION PLAN TEN YEAR IMPLEMENTATION CHAPTER 6 TRANSIT DEVELOPMENT PLAN ANNUAL UPDATE 6 TEN YEAR IMPLEMENTATION PLAN (FY 2019 - FY 2028) The Ten Year FY2018-FY2027 MDT10Ahead Implementation Plan Tables present the transit project items’ cost and status as of December 2017. Tables 6-1 and 6-2 list DTPW’s Strategic Miami Area Rapid Transit Plan (SMART) and Bus Express Rapid Transit (BERT) projects. Combined, these two tables present the County’s vision for six (6) rapid transit and nine (9) express bus corridors that will serve as the framework for DTPW’s transit network. Tables 6-3 through 6-5 list the agency’s Funded, Partially Funded, and Unfunded Projects. Information highlighting changes in scope, timing, budget or completion versus the 2017 Annual Update is also provided in each table. DTPW’s strategy for this implementation plan is to improve existing Metrobus routes, implement new Metrobus routes, advance premium transit corridors identified throughout Miami-Dade County and discontinue unproductive routes. DTPW will continue to focus on improving on- time performance, providing a clean and attractive system for passenger use, improve customer convenience through the latest available technology, and assess system expansion opportunities. 6.1 SMART Plan The SMART Plan is a bold infrastructure investment program that will significantly improve transportation mobility and will provide a world-class system that will support economic growth and competitiveness in the global arena. Miami is a global hub representing not only the Gateway of the Americas, but also the nation’s southeast capital for international freight and cargo, as well as the number one passenger cruise port in the world. Miami-Dade Mayor Carlos A. Gimenez has declared that the advancement of transportation infrastructure is the top priority for Miami-Dade County which is the most populous county in Florida, representing 2.7 Million residents living in the Miami Urbanized Area of over 5.5 Million people. In addition, the Miami-Dade Transportation Planning Organization (TPO) has prioritized the advancement of the SMART Plan, which is strongly supported by public and private sector partners, residents, and elected officials. The SMART Plan represents a vision for our region that is both strategic and far-reaching by creating a system of multiple transportation options that leverage existing infrastructure and integrate technology at the highest levels. The plan is comprehensive, proactive, and supports the future population and employment growth anticipated in our region. The Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) estimates the annual cost of congestion to motorists in urban areas is approximately $7 Billion. This represents a significant cost and economic disadvantage that if not addressed, will result in urban areas like Miami being left behind. Miami-Dade County has become a region of global significance that attracts people from all over the world to live, work and play. Labor force and employment growth in Miami-Dade greatly exceeded national growth from 2010 to 2015. Research shows that transit mobility directly affects quality of life and economic vitality. As Miami-Dade continues to grow, the SMART Plan will ensure that current and future residents will have the most efficient and effective transportation network to get to where they are going, faster and safer. The SMART Plan represents mobility insurance for our region. The Miami-Dade County transportation team is working to change the approach to mobility by creating a system that offers multiple transportation options throughout the county. There are limited opportunities to widen and/or build new roads. Therefore the need to extend mass-transit represents the balanced approach necessary to address roadway congestion and connect communities to educational and employment centers. This balanced approach is needed to ensure the community continues to grow and thrive in the future. Transit Development Plan FY 2019 - 2028 | Page 6.1 TRANSIT DEVELOPMENT PLAN ANNUAL UPDATE In order to improve livability and ensure economic growth in the future, it is important to improve mobility. Miami-Dade County’s SMART Plan helps accomplish this by connecting major activity centers, employment areas, airports, and educational institutions to the rest of our population and ultimately the entire United States. The goal is to make Miami-Dade County a car-optional community by ensuring that mass- transit options are available everywhere in the County and region. 6.1.1 Beach Corridor The Beach Corridor Extension project will serve the cities of Miami and Miami Beach along a 9.7 mile corridor, crossing Biscayne Bay to link Downtown Miami to Miami Beach. The Beach Corridor area is an epicenter for population and economic growth and a major employment center and tourist destination in the region. As a result, the roadways between Miami and Miami Beach are typically heavily congested. This high bus transit ridership corridor has been identified as a candidate for consideration for premium transit over the past two decades as part of a strategy to address east-west directional travel demands. DTPW initiated a Project Development & Environment (PD&E) study to evaluate premium transit solutions in this corridor in May 2017. This study is scheduled for completion in late summer 2019. 6.1.2 East-West Corridor This project will run approximately 11 miles from Miami International Airport west along the SR-836/Dolphin Expressway to the Turnpike in the vicinity of Florida International University (FIU). It provides multimodal options that mitigate the severe traffic congestion along SR-836 which is the nlyo east-west expressway in central Miami-Dade County. This project will serve major activity centers including FIU, Miami International Airport, the Miami Intermodal Center (MIC), Dolphin Mall, and major employment areas like the City of Doral and the Blue Lagoon area. DTPW initiated a PD&E study to evaluate premium transit solutions in this corridor in April 2017. This study is scheduled for completion by late summer 2019. 6.1.3 Kendall Corridor The Kendall Corridor project is 10 miles from the Dadeland North Metrorail Station west along SR 94/Kendall Drive/SW 88th Street to approximately SW 167th Avenue. This project provides multimodal solutions for severe congestion along Kendall Drive, one of the most congested east-west roadways in Miami-Dade County. The project facilitates the highest demand movement of passengers to and from West Kendall to Downtown Miami. In 2016, the Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT), District Six, initiated a PD&E Study to evaluate proposed transportation solutions for Kendall Drive. The Kendall corridor is being studied as part of the Strategic Miami Area Rapid Transit, or SMART Plan, which identifies the development of six rapid transit corridors that directly support the mobility of our future population and employment growth. A project kick-off meeting was held in late 2016. The study is scheduled for completion by winter 2018. Page 6.2 | Transit Development Plan FY 2019 - 2028 TRANSIT DEVELOPMENT PLAN ANNUAL UPDATE 6.1.4 North Corridor This project is approximately 12 miles from the Miami Intermodal Center (MIC) via existing Metrorail Orange Line then north along NW 27th Avenue to NW 215th Street. It will connect the cities of Miami, Opa-locka, and Miami Gardens with major activity centers, including the Miami-Dade College North Campus, North Dade Health Center, St. Thomas University, Florida Memorial College, Miami Jobs Corps Center, Hard Rock Stadium (home of NFL Miami Dolphins and University of Miami), and Calder Race Course. A new transit terminal and park-and-ride facility at the northern end of the project will be constructed to provide a connection to Metrobus and Broward County Transit (BCT) routes. The long-term vision includes transit-oriented development (TOD) at the new NW 215th Street transit terminal. In 2016, FDOT District Six initiated a PD&E Study to evaluate proposed transportation solutions for SR 9 / SR 817 / NW 27th Avenue. The North corridor is being studied as part of the SMART Plan, which identifies the development of six rapid transit corridors that directly support the mobility of our future population and employment growth. A project kick-off meeting was held in late 2016. The study is scheduled for completion by winter 2018. 6.1.5 Northeast Corridor This corridor is roughly defined as U.S. Route 1 from the Downtown Miami area to the Aventura Mall near the Miami-Dade/ Broward County line. It is one of the busiest transit corridors in the region. It extends approximately 13.5 miles through the historic core of the County developed along the Florida East Coast (FEC) railroad and links Aventura, North Miami, North Miami Beach, and Miami Shores with the County’s Central Business District located in Downtown Miami. FDOT District 4 is managing the PD&E study and is currently on hold. 6.1.6 South Corridor This corridor stretches approximately 20 miles from the Dadeland South Metrorail Station along the existing Transitway (fka Busway) to the SW 344th Street Park-and-Ride/Transit Terminal Facility. This corridor will connect Florida City, City of Homestead, Town of Cutler Bay, Village of Palmetto Bay, and Village of Pinecrest, which represent the fastest population growth in Miami-Dade County. This rapid transit project facilitates the highest demand of passengers traveling to and from southern Miami-Dade to Downtown Miami. DTPW initiated a PD&E Study

    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.

  • Miami Surface Shuttle Services: Feasibility Study for Transit Circulator Services in Downtown Miami, Brickell, Overtown, and Ai
    MIAMI SURFACE SHUTTLE SERVICES: FEASIBILITY STUDY FOR TRANSIT CIRCULATOR SERVICES IN DOWNTOWN MIAMI, BRICKELL, OVERTOWN, AND AIRPORT WEST Prepared for the Miami-Dade Urbanized Area Metropolitan Planning Organization Final Report - June 2000 Prepared by: The Center for Urban Transportation Research Principal Investigators: Joel Volinski Victoria Perk EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The concept of shuttle, or local circulator, bus service is gaining popularity around the country as a service that satisfies certain niche transit markets and helps promote different public policy objectives. Shuttle services can improve mobility for employees, residents, and visitors of certain areas while helping to relieve traffic congestion, and it can contribute to economic development in an environmentally favorable way. The Downtown Development Authority of Miami (DDA) initially expressed its desire to implement shuttle services along Flagler Street as part of that corridor’s more comprehensive redevelopment, often referred to as the Flagler Marketplace plan. This plan calls for changing Flagler Street from one-way operations to two-way, adding many new street amenities, and redirecting the large buses that currently serve Flagler Street to other streets in the downtown area. There is also a desire on the part of the retailers on and around Flagler Street to provide a shuttle service that could conveniently link them with the hotels and residential areas north and south of the immediate downtown area. Representatives of the Brickell community are also interested in new shuttle services that would help promote a true “village” atmosphere where people live, work, shop, and enjoy leisure activities within relatively short distances of each other. The more eastern portion of the Brickell area is experiencing substantial new growth of hotels, residential towers, and offices.
