Russo, City Manager <br /> FROM: Claudia C. Hasbun, Planning and Zoning Director <br /> DATE: 3/21/2019 <br /> RE: 174th Street Pedestrian Overpass Feasibility Study <br /> "Collins Avenue Bridge Park" <br /> RECOMMENDATION: <br /> This Resolution is presented for your consideration. <br /> REASONS: <br /> During the City's 2016 Transportation Master Plan (TMP), Collins Avenue at <br /> 174th Street was identified and recommended as a priority area for an elevated <br /> pedestrian overpass. Therefore, the City applied for and received a matching <br /> grant from the Miami Dade County Transportation Planning Organization <br /> (TPO)to conduct a feasibility study for this project. <br /> The scope of the grant was to undertake the planning and research, data <br /> collection, analysis, and conceptual illustration efforts necessary for pedestrian <br /> and vehicular improvements into and through Collins Avenue at 174th Street in <br /> coordination with TPO, Miami-Dade County Public Works and Transportation <br /> Depaitnient, and the Florida Department of Transportation. <br /> The study provides for a feasible alternative pedestrian route between the east <br /> and west sides of Collins Avenue, as well as conceptual ideas for a well- <br /> designed, appealing, usable, and ADA accessible park overpass for pedestrians. <br /> With the recommendation from our Public Arts Advisory Committee (PAAC), <br /> we present this resolution for your consideration and approval of the feasibility <br /> study, including the design concept of the pedestrian park overpass. <br /> ADDITIONAL INFORMATION: <br /> 47 <br />
