<br /> ® utilized for greater efficiency. Recommended traffic improvements focused on short-term, but high-benefit
<br /> improvements such as median closures, turn lane improvements, and lane configuration enhancements.
<br /> ® Congested intersections that were evaluated by the Kimley-Horn team included:
<br /> ® ■ Sunny Isles Causeway at NE 26th, 28th, and 29th Avenues (North Miami Beach)
<br /> ® • NW 167th Street at NW 2nd Avenue (North Miami Beach)

<br /> ® SR A lA (Collins Avenue)Pedestrian Corridor Study from 32nd Street to 38th Street,Miami Beach,FL
<br /> ® The SR A1A (Collins Avenue) Pedestrian Corridor Study was commissioned by FDOT to evaluate the need
<br /> • for a pedestrian signal crossing of SR A1A between 32nd Street and 38th Street in Miami Beach. The area
<br /> ® along SR A1A between these two pedestrian crossings experiences a high level of pedestrian activity due to
<br /> a variety of factors, including the proximity of several hotels and apartment buildings, the beach adjacent to
<br /> • SR A1A, a lack of convenient parking, and a high density of transit service.
<br /> ® Within the study area, Collins Avenue is part of a one-way pair providing _
<br /> ® northbound traffic flow in three lanes for SR A1A. Sidewalks exist along j+-E: 11
<br /> ® both sides of Collins Avenue. Sidewalks are also provided along most sideE•is

<br /> streets that cross SR A1A between Collins Avenue and Indian Creek Drive, "
