Marlon Kelly, Sr. o The tunnel operators have access and can control the entire facility. • How long does the agency archive surveillance video from the tunnel? Marlon Kelly, Sr. o The Port Miami Tunnel keeps the video up to 6 months. FDOT processes any public request after 6 months. • On what day was the video capture of the woman with her car on fire? Marlon Kelly, Sr. o The incident occurred Tuesday around 9 am. MAT was able to respond within an hour to contain the fire and reopened the tunnel. • Are there fire extinguisher available in the tunnel? Marlon Kelly, Sr. o Yes, there are fire extinguishers available in the tunnel along with emergencies phones. • What type of water is used for the sprinkler system? Alan Fishman o Portable water, which is not use often. o Mr. Fishman suggested that they consider using fresh water. • Are license tag readers installed at the end of the tunnel? Susana Guasch o No, the State of Florida denied MAT request for tag readers. • Is the tunnel open 24 hours a day? Antonio Reyes o Yes, the Port Miami Tunnel is open 24 hours a day and only close for maintenance once a month. • If there was a terrorist attack at this facility, would the other office be advised? Naomi L. Wright o Yes, the other facility will be notified. The Port of Miami Tunnel has a security system to address terrorist threats. • What is the optimum temperature in the tunnel before the fans turn on? Naomi L. Wright o The fans operate based on air quality not it is not based on temperature. • Are trolleys and buses able to use the tunnel? Is there enough clearance for these type of vehicles? Maria Chael Page 3 of 10 o No, bus and trolleys do not use the tunnel, they would use the bridge for safety measures. The reason being that trolleys have no windows and the tour buses have open tops which would present a liability. • Is there any practical reason for the flat façade design? Maria Chael o The practical function for those portals are for the 55 ton steel gates that are used to prevent flooding during a storm surge. • Are there any solar light initiatives in the works? Jasmine Johnson o The MAT researched the solar light possibilities but however the actual layout available of the tunnel does not lend itself to provide electricity to the entire tunnel. • What is the tunnel’s electrical expense? Jasmine Johnson o It is around $35,000 to $40,000 a month. • With an increase of 20% in traffic volume a year, are there any other development to handle traffic? Jasmine Johnson o Not at that this time. The projection are far off from reaching capacity. • How long were the 55 ton flood gates designed to last? o The design life for the tunnel is 150 years. • Has there been any tidal issues due to a full moon? Alan Fishman o No, the tunnel does not have full moon issue as does Miami Beach. • What is the actual volume verses projected volume? Alan Fishman o Traffic load is not there yet, the projection traffic volume capacity is expected in 2050 plus. • Now that the tunnel has taken away truck traffic from the local streets, and that includes the trains. What impact is it having on the local traffic? Claudius Carnegie o FDOT does not have the answer for you at this time. Patrice Gillespie with Miami Downtown Development Authority (DDA) indicated that she would inquire on that and get back to the committee. VI.

The board sets policy direction, which is implemented by continues to defy expectations as one of the largest and most viable urban centers in the country. 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. From the launch of Pérez Art Museum Miami, to the soon-to-be-completed Patricia and Phillip Frost Museum of Science, to the successful Adrienne Arsht Center for the Performing Arts and the AmericanAirlines Arena, Downtown Miami is earning its reputation as an epicenter for arts and culture.
