Towards these goals, our design team has already worked with the City and has gained a greater understanding of the various (J opportunities for growth and increases in quality -of -life improvements that our design team can contribute in. These include: • Continue the sense of continuity and inclusion among all the various communities within Sunny Isles Beach • Continue the design consistency and branding throughout the City, especially bridging the challenges of the AM corridor and ensuring that the further outlying areas maintain their uniqueness and do not blend into other adjacent municipalities and areas • Ensuring that all individuals within the City and the various communities have access to improvements that include them as a part of the overall City branding and environment • Upgrading needs of the neighborhood parks and space so they serve as anchors of the community identity and of community building • Working with the various cultural institutions to arrive at environments that are inclusive and pluralistic to the various multi -cultural conditions present in Sunny Isles Beach; and • Working in concert with City Staff, Planners, Engineers, and Traffic consultants to develop and implement strategies that foster the definition of 'place', walkability, and increased sociability through the implementations of both sustainable and well -coordinated efforts that consider all these inter -connected layers in creating quality environments. These concerns impactthe quality of spatial design as they relate to neighborhood improvements and downtown revitalization, specifically: • Promoting safe pedestrian areas connecting throughout the City • Balancing traffic lane widths throughout the City, with parking and planter bulb outs and traffic calming • Safe pedestrian crossings as supported by well-designed intersections, pedestrian overpasses, landscaping, and architectural characters • Wayfinding and spatial orientation, and • Creating landscape strategies that relate to the different spatial qualities of each special environment, such as providing shade and buffering where necessary in residential environments, contrasted by the needs to have canopy and transparent environments to promote visibility of goods and signage for economic sustainability in commercial areas.
