# 18180 Page ii EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The Miami Freedom Park & Soccer Village (Miami Freedom Park) project is bounded by NW 14th Street on the south, NW 21st Street on the north, NW 37th Avenue on the east, and NW 42nd Avenue on the west in Miami, FL. The site is currently occupied by Miami International Links - Melreese Country Club. Miami Freedom Park will be the home of Miami’s new Major League Soccer (MLS) professional soccer team Club Internacional de Fútbol (Inter Miami CF) and the development program includes: MLS Stadium 25,000 seats Soccer Village (Retail) 600,000 SF Technology Hub and Office Space 400,000 SF Hotel and Conference Center 750 Rooms New Public Park 58 acres Youth Sports Fields 11 soccer fields and 1 football field The Project will be developed in multiple phases. Full Project build-out is anticipated by 2025. Access to the site will be provided via three access points: New off ramp from northbound NW 42nd Avenue collector-distributor (c-d) road to the northwest corner of the Project (inbound access only). New signalized full-access driveway on NW 14th Street midway between NW 42nd Avenue and the WB SR 836 off ramp. New signalized full-access driveway located at the west leg of the existing NW 37th Avenue / NW 19th Street intersection. The purpose of the study is to provide a preliminary traffic impact analysis that follows the methodology for a typical study for the City of Miami. The traffic study documents the anticipated traffic impacts of the proposed Miami Freedom Park development and includes data collection efforts, a preliminary Transportation Management Plan (TMP), Project trip generation and distribution, intersection capacity analyses, ramp roadway analyses, a preliminary traffic calming evaluation for the Grapeland Heights Neighborhood (GHN), and a parking analysis. Data collection for this study included 27 intersection turning movement counts, 24 roadway segment volume and speed counts, 10 ramp segment volume counts, intersection signal timing and Miami Freedom Park & Soccer Village Traffic Study - # 18180 Page iii phasing, intersection lane configurations, seasonal adjustment factors, and multimodal transportation information. Trip generation for the proposed Project was estimated using the Institute of Transportation Engineers (ITE) Trip Generation Manual, 10th Edition. For the typical weekday, non-event scenario, it is estimated that the Project will generate approximately 640 am peak hour two-way, net new trips and approximately 1,550 pm peak hour two-way, net new trips. For the Saturday night game day scenario, it is estimated that the Project will generate approximately
