A detailed analysis of traffic conditions, ridership demand and trolley routing plans will be required to further refine the initial assumptions. SUBMITTED INTO THE PUBLIC RECORD FOR ITEM RE.3, DI.5 Introduction ON 05/14/2015. CITY CLERK.

The information presented is in response to several requests from the Mayor’s office, Commissioners, and residents of the City of Miami to expand the successful Miami Trolley program to other areas of the City. The analysis was prepared to illustrate the areas that could be served by the Miami Trolley with conceptual alignments that would need to be further analyzed. Operational characteristics were assumed using similar Miami Trolley routes and existing MDT bus along the corridors. Although some of the corridors have existing transit service, it is the intent of the City to augment on the existing transit service and therefore improving the opportunities for residents and visitors to use public transportation.
