Five-Year Implementation Plan of the People’s Transportation Plan Eighth Annual Update ∙ Covering Fiscal Years 2020–2025 CITIZENS’ INDEPENDENT TRANSPORTATION MOVINGMOVINGMOVING TRUST FORWARDFORWARDFORWARD PTP Five-Year Plan Update Five-Year Implementation Plan of the People’s Transportation Plan (PTP) Eighth Annual Update – Covering Fiscal Years 2020 to 2025 Citizens’ Independent Transportation Trust and Miami-Dade County Chairman’s Message As I embark on my new role as the Chairman of the Citizens’ Independent Transportation Trust (Transportation Trust), I’m reminded that Miami-Dade County is a great place to live, work and play. Public Transportation plays a vital role in both the economic and physical health of our residents and offers great benefits to the community. The Transportation Trust is dedicated to its core responsibilities-- to provide oversight of the People’s Transportation Plan (PTP) funds and develop proactive plans that meet the challenges of improving public transportation in our community. My fellow Trust Members and I remain committed in safeguarding the public’s money and we work diligently to maintain their confidence ensuring that the half-penny transportation Surtax funds are spent as intended. We are excited about the accomplishments made with the half-penny Surtax thus far and look forward to continuing to fulfill our remaining promises by implementing the Strategic Miami Area Rapid Transit (SMART) Plan. Miami-Dade County desires to provide a public transportation system that keeps pace with the needs of this growing population and their transportation needs. I serve on the Transportation Trust because I believe in the potential of this community and residents of Miami-Dade County deserve a first-class transportation system.

From the communities along the corridor to the members of the Project Advisory Team, everyone played a crucial role in forming the results and conclusions contained in this study. 2 STATE ROAD (SR) 5/US 1/DIXIE HIGHWAY FROM SR 94/SW 88 STREET/KENDALL DRIVE TO SR 9/I-95 This report compiles the results of the State Road (SR) 5/US 1/ Dixie Highway from SR 94/SW 88 Street/Kendall Drive to SR 9/I-95 Corridor Study and includes: › Findings from the study › Recommendations for walking, bicycling, driving, and transit access needs along US 1 between Kendall Drive and I-95 › Next steps for implementing the recommendations This effort is the product of collaboration between the Florida Department of Transportation District Six and its regional and local partners. FDOT and its partners engaged the community at two critical stages of the study – during the identification of issues and during the development of recommendations. The community input helped inform the recommended strategies but the collaboration cannot stop here. Going from planning to implementation will take additional coordination and, in some instances, additional analysis. FDOT is able and ready to lead the effort but will continue seeking the support of community leaders, transportation and planning organizations, and the general public!

The project status reports, unless otherwise noted, are as of June 30, 2014. The Plan represents an important component of the Trust’s role in monitoring expenditures of PTP funds. In addiƟon to this role the Trust is also proacƟvely engaged in advancing projects in all of the PTP Corridors. A major milestone in that initiaƟve was the 2015 TransportaƟon Summit which was presented in January 2015 in conjuncƟon with Mayor Carlos. A. Gimenez, the Board of County Commissioners and the Greater Miami Chamber of Commerce. The Summit, Advancing the Community’s Vision for Public Transportation, was aƩended by over 500 community leaders and has catalyzed community support for improving transit and transportaƟon in our community.

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.

    Transportation Element

    TRANSPORTATION ELEMENT Introduction The purpose of the transportation element is to plan for an integrated multimodal transportation system providing for the circulation of motorized and non-motorized traffic in Miami-Dade County. The element provides a comprehensive approach to transportation system needs by addressing all modes of transportation—pedestrian and bicycle facilities, traffic circulation, mass transit, aviation and ports. The Transportation Element is divided into five subelements. The Traffic Circulation Subelement addresses the needs of automobile traffic, bicyclists and pedestrians. The Mass Transit Subelement addresses the need to continue to promote and expand the public transportation system to increase its role as a major component in the County's overall transportation system. The Aviation Subelement addresses the need for continued expansion, development and redevelopment of the County's aviation facilities; and the Port of Miami River and PortMiami Subelements continue to promote maritime business and traditional maritime related shoreline uses on the Miami River, and the expansion needs of PortMiami. The Adopted Components of the Transportation Element and each of the five subelements separately contain: 1) goals, objectives and policies; 2) monitoring measures; and 3) maps of existing and planned future facilities. These subelements are preceded by overarching goals, objectives and policies that express the County's intent to develop multi-modalism, reduce the County’s dependency on the personal automobile, enhance energy saving practices in all transportation sectors, and improve coordination between land use and transportation planning and policies. The Miami-Dade 2035 Long Range Transportation Plan (LRTP), is adopted to guide transportation investment in the County for the next 25 years.

    CIC Miami 1951 NW 7th Avenue Miami, FL 33136 Project Description The project is part of the ongoing development of an "innovation district" in central Miami in order to bring economic growth and opportunity to the historically underserved neighborhood of Overtown, and includes the development of approximately 102,000 square feet of space in an existing building that is located in the University of Miami Life Science Park ("LSTP"). Located in the center of the Miami Health District with six nearby hospitals, LSTP provides facilities, infrastructure and interdisciplinary opportunities to foster the development of life sciences, technology and biotechnology innovations. LSTP is intended to create synergies between research institutions, testing laboratories and the university to advance clinical breakthroughs and healthcare advancements that will benefit all people. Wexford Science and Technology ("Wexford") is a BioMed Realty company that works to meet the growing and specialized needs of for-profit and not-for-profit institutions, including universities, university- related research parks, and healthcare systems. The majority of the build out will be Master leased by Wexford to Cambridge Innovation Center ("CIC"). CIC is one of the nation's largest flexible office space facilities for new, innovative and growth oriented companies. It is expected that the space will be leased to a mix of healthcare and biotech companies that are relatively new and looking to grow. Additionally, CIC will be transforming the lobby of the current space into a public innovation space where diverse community members can gather, collaborate, and innovate. CIC will also work with their nonprofit sister organization, Venture Café Foundation ("VCF") to develop and manage the space to be accessible and inviting to the surrounding community.
