Alternative route options are presented for the Coconut Grove area along with recommendations for the implementation of service. Background The community of COconut Grove lies just south of Downtown Miami, and contains an eclectic mix of restaurants, shops, parks, cultural activities, hotels, residences, and residents. The major shopping areas are located In the village center at the junction of COcowalk, which houses an AMC movie theater, 38 various shops, and restaurants, and the Streets of Mayfair, which holds 228,000 square feet of shopping and dining within 2.5 city blocks. Additional shops and restaurants, Including many with sidewalk seating, are located south and west of Cocowalk along Main Highway and cross-streets such as Commodore Plaza. Coconut Grove is also a dense residential area, with sections of affluent housing as we.ll as sections with a low-Income, minority population (West Grove). Housing ranges from single­ family homes to rental properties to high-rise condominiums overlooking Biscayne Bay. The area can be divided into geographic sections: North Grove, Center Grove, South Grove, and West Grove. The business district is a part of Center Grove. Issues have been identified with parking in the commercial area that result in significant traffic congestion, air and noise pollution from vehicles, and conflicts with pedestrians. The area is also known for its ample nightlife, which is evident mostly on weekends, but also during the week to some degree. On-street, metered parking is available, but visitors to the business district often seem to have a difficult time finding a place to park their vehicles on the street. A parking garage located at the intersection of Oak Avenue and Mary Street, only a few blocks fTom the heart of the business district Is often underutllized. Another issue that affects traffic circulation In the Grove Is the high level of through-traffic, especially during peak morning and afternoon hours, as well as weekend nights. The corridor of Main Highway to McFarlane Road to Bayshore Drive is utilized as an alternative to U.S. 1 as a north-south route to and from the Downtown Miami/Brickell area and the residential areas south of Coconut Grove such as Coral Gables and Pinecrest. Flmll Report Introduction ----------------~.. ~---- ----------- ------Coconut Grove Transit Circulator services Study·------ There are a number of potential markets that can be served by transit drculator services in Coconut Grove. A desire exists .to offer internal drculation within Coconut Grove and its business district to provide Grove residents and its visitors alike an easy and convenient way to patronize the area's shopping, dining, and entertainment opportunities. In addition, better access to the Metrorail stations that serve Coconut Grove can serve the dual purpose of allowing more visitors to access the area without their cars and of providing all of Coconut Grove's residents and employees with high quality access to the regional Miami-Dade Transit (MDn system for work, school, and other trips.

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!

  • 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.

    ISSUE ONE ISSUE PARK GROVE 4 5 WORDS Dr. Paul George, Ph.D. little more than a century ago, Greater Miami was a vast wilderness with small clusters of hardy settlers living along the shores of Biscayne Bay. One of those communities was Coconut Grove, which, since the late nineteenth century, has enjoyed a reputation as south Florida’s A most attractive, dynamic and independent-minded community. Its natural setting is unrivaled, for Coconut Grove looks out from behind lush subtropical foliage toward the turquoise waters of the Bay. The province of Tequesta Indians until recent centuries, Coconut Grove was, by the early nineteenth century, a favorite stop for mariners attracted to the bubbling fresh water springs on its waterfront. After the Cape Florida Lighthouse opened in 1825, light keepers and their assistants became frequent visitors to Coconut Grove. Wreckers or salvagers of disabled ships also visited the area. By the middle decades of the nineteenth century, It was Munroe who suggested to his British friends Coconut Grove’s first known permanent residents, that they open a guest house in the area for its Edmund (“Ned”) and Ann Beasley, lived along its ever-growing number of visitors. The Peacocks bay front in the area around today’s Barnacle State opened the Bay View Inn, a simple wood frame Park. When Ned died, Ann rented a portion of their structure, in 1882 in today’s Peacock Park. It was property to Dr. Horace Porter, a onetime Union the first “hotel” in the area. Some of the Inn’s early surgeon. Porter applied for a U.S.
