Updated guidelines and <br />standards are needed. Focus on encouraging inspiring architecture, best practices in functional site design, <br />increasing and improving landscaping and green space, and post-COVID building design and construction <br />practices that focus on health and wellness. <br />• Parking: The commercial section of the Town Center North area is an area of high parking demand. A study <br />may be needed to identify potential ways of increasing efficiency of existing parking capacity, discouraging <br />automobile use, reducing congestion and conflicts, resolving spillover problems, improving internal circulation <br />and managing access. <br />• Bus stops: Participants raised alarm at the potentially hazardous location of the bus stops on westbound <br />Sunny Isles Boulevard. This issue requires coordination with FDOT and Miami-Dade County Transit. <br />• Transportation/congestion: Continue coordinating with regional and state transportation agencies and <br />neighboring communities, as well as the implementation of the City's 2016 Transportation Master Plan. <br />re -Envisioning the Town Center North overlay 112/28/2020 21 <br />
