The original plans for the Metromover extensions recommended that all Central Business District (CBD) oriented bus routes that operate in proximity to the Omni and Brickell Metromover stations be truncated at those locations. As a result, a major bus transfer facility has been constructed at the Omni station, and bus bays were included in the construction of the Brickell Metrorail and Metromover stations. According to the original plans, the Metromover would become the major collector/distributor for Metrobus routes serving the CBD, as it currently functions for the Metrorail service. The potential benefits of this service would be: • consistency in travel time for passengers no longer caught in downtown traffic; • reduction of bus routes from the Omni and Brickell Corridors into Downtown Miami; • corresponding reduction in bus miles and hours operated in CBD.. These miles might be reinvested in the truncated routes to improve the frequencies outside the CBD. Unlike Metrorail to Metromover transfers, the current MDT A fare policy does not address a bus to mover or mover to bus transfer. This creates an inconsistency in that bus passengers transferring to the mover would pay a $0.25 transfer whereas rail passengers transfer to the mover for free at the Government Center Station. The purpose of this project will be to (1) present the current operating characteristics of Metrobus service to and within the Miami CBD, (2) recommend an equitable fare transfer policy, (3) analyze the impacts on existing bus riders for both travel time and cost introduced by the transfers from bus to mover upon the opening of the new extensions, and ( 4) prioritize routes for potential truncation. Chapter 1 summarizes the operating characteristics of current Metrobus service into and within the Miami CBD. Included in this chapter are an inventory of existing bus stops, bus routings, route level ridership by time of day, existing fare policies, transfer analysis, and the results of a survey of Metrobus riders within the Omni and Brickell corridors into the CBD. Chapter 2 analyzes the financial impacts of the proposed transfers between Metrobus and the new legs of 1 the Metromover. Alternate bus/mover fare transfer policies will be developed and assessed. Chapter 3 analyzes the impacts of the proposed transfers between Metrobus and the new Metromover extensions. Impacts on passengers' walk distance from mover stations versus current bus stops and station capacity will also be examined. A prioritization process for route truncation is also developed. 2 CHAPTER 1 CURRENT OPERATING CHARACTERISTICS OF METROBUS SERVICE INTO/WITHIN THE CENTRAL BUSINESS DISTRICT CURRENT CBD METROBUS SERVICE There are currently 21 Metrobus routes serving the Miami CBD. For the purposes of this study, the CBD is defined as the area within 1/4 mile of the existing Metromover and the Omni and Brickell extensions. Ten of the 21 routes (3, 9, 10, 16, 93X, C, K, M, S, T) fall within the Omni extension corridor, four routes (8, 24, 48, B) are withi~ the Brickell extension corridor, and five routes (2, 7, 11, 21, and 77) enter the CBD from the west. The 48 serves both the Omni and Brickell areas via a loop up along Biscayne Boulevard. The 95X has multiple branches and enters the CBD from each of the three CBD entry corridors. Route 6 serves both the Omni and Brickell corridors. Currently all Brickell corridor routes enter the CBD along Miami Avenue due to the reconstruction of the Brickell Avenue bridge. Routes 6, 8, and B directly serve the Brickell Metrorail and Metromover station area. Routes 6 and 8 enter the CBD along Miami Avenue, while route B travelled along Brickell Avenue previous to the bridge construction. Route 24 travels along SW 13th Street within one block of the Brickell Metromover station, and then (previous to the bridge construction) entered the CBD along Brickell Avenue. The remaining Brickell corridor routes (48, 95X) formerly travelled along and entered the CBD from Brickell Avenue, and have been rerouted east along SE 7th Street to Miami Avenue and then into the CBD. The Omni routes enter the CBD from either Biscayne Boulevard (3, 16, 48, 95, C, M, S), or NE 2nd Avenue (9, 10, K, T). The Biscayne Boulevard routes stop at locations within one block of the Omni Metromover Station. Routes 9 and 10 stop two blocks from the Metromover on NE 2nd Avenue and NE 14th Street. Routes K and T also have stops adjacent to the Omni Metromover Station. Table 1 presents the current weekday bus route service levels, including hours of operation, and bus trips by time period for the routes serving the Omni and Brickell corridors. As presented in this table, the span of service in the CBD begins as early as 4:39am on route 3 ) TABLE 1 WEEKDAY BUS ROUTE SERVICE LEVELS Omni and Brickell Corridor Routes Weckdav Bus Trios SPAN OF AM MIDDAY PM ROUTE SERVICE (6-lOam) (10am-3om) (3-7om) 3 4:45am - 1:17am inbound 12 15 12 outbound 12 15 12 6 8:37am - 5:35pm inbound 1 5 3 outbound 1 5 2 9 4:41am - 11:58pm inbound 14 1 14 outbound 14 7 14 0 10 5:09am - 12:27am M inbound 6 9 6 N outbound 7 8 6 I 16 5:08am - 11:15pm C inbound 12 15 12 0 outbound 12 15 12 R R C 4:52am - 12:51am I inbound 12 15 12 D outbound 12 15 12 0 R K 5:08am - 11:25pm inbound 12 15 13 outbound 12 15 12 M 5:39am - 11:24pm inbound 8 10 8 outbound 8 10 8 S (1) 4:51am - 2:14am inbound 30 40 32 outbound 30 40 32 T 4:52am - 10:08pm inbound 11 10 12 outbound 11 10 12 93 6:00am - 7:08pm inbound 11 1 16 13 outbound , .

  • 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.
