BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF PROJECT AND RELEVANCE TO THIS CONTRACT (Include scope, size, and cost) The local residents as well as City of Miami Springs officials were concerned about existing safety and traffic operations conditions along a portion of S. Royal Poinciana Boulevard between East Drive and west of Le Jeune Road due to speeding vehicles and cut-through traffic. RJ Behar & Company, Inc. (RJ Behar) was contracted by the City of Miami Springs to conduct a traffic study to assess vehicular, pedestrian, bicycle safety and traffic operations along the above referenced segment of S. Royal Poinciana Boulevard. The study determined potential measures and roadway improvements to address identified deficiencies and concerns. It also determined, at the conceptual planning level, the feasibility of providing a bicycle path along the roadway. Currently, the roadway is a four-lane undivided facility with two lanes in each direction. Furthermore, this roadway is under the jurisdiction of Miami-Dade County; consequently, proposed significant modifications need to be reviewed and approved by the City as well as the County. Three alternatives were considered during the future year 2028 analyses to improve the safety and traffic operation conditions along S. Royal Poinciana within the study limits: Alternates Two and Three include traffic signal timing and phasing adjustment for the intersection of East Drive and South Royal Poinciana Boulevard. This will reduce the delay time for southeast bound and northwest bound traffic on South Royal Poinciana Boulevard; therefore, it is recommended for implementation by Miami-Dade County | It is recommended to implement Alternative Three which provides for: one lane in each direction along S. Royal Poinciana Boulevard within the study limits, a raised median beginning at Miller Dr. and ending at Coolidge Dr., exclusive left turn lanes at Forrest Dr. and Sheridan Dr., and a Bike Path along the northwest bound direction of S. Royal Poinciana Boulevard. The reduction of lanes will not significantly impact LOS and vehicular delay at the analyzed intersections and roadway segments and will provide for traffic calming, thus reducing the speeding concern. | Alternate Three includes a shared bicycle/vehicle pavement marking in the SEB direction of South Royal Poinciana Boulevard as well as R4-11 (Shared veh/bicycle lane)post mounted signs throughout the roadway. | It is also recommended to install dynamic devices along both directions of travel informing motorists of their speed. | Continue police enforcement of the speed limit along S. Royal Poinciana Boulevard. | Perform a traffic study on the intersection of Okeechobee Road & East Drive to reduce vehicular delays and improve LOS.
