Issue #2 - Transportation Improvements 1. The City has adopted a Level of Service (LOS) of E + 20 for its roadways, which are all operating at or above this level. Since it is not certain how the new development will impact the traffic, a traffic analysis which includes the new population projections needs to be completed. Considering the changing demographics, intense redevelopment and overall regional traffic increase a Transportation Needs Report should be performed, which address all modes of transportation, including a detailed look at travel conditions on all major streets in the City, origin/destination trips, travel forecasting based upon the future land use categories, and identification of short and long range vehicular, transit, bicycle and pedestrian improvements, To further promote transit oriented design along Collins Avenue and North Bay Road, amend the comprehensive plan by adding or rewriting the Land Use Element Objective 6, Objective 7 of the Transportation Element and other related policies, as necessary. 2, Per Objective 1 of the Transportation Element, setting forth specific targets on transit usage (Le" annual transit trips per capita, annual vehicular miles per capita, and/or other standards to measure mobility patterns) would also be useful in determining overall performance, Marketing and public outreach are also important to encouraging other travel modes. 3. Include an objective and/or policy in the Transportation Element relative to ensuring that development and transportation systems are consistent with the maintenance of optimum air quality. It is important to note that the South Florida area is a non- attainment area for ozone according to the Environmental Protection Agency. 4. Pedestrian corridors will be an asset to the City's residents and tourists alike. The City shall revise its Greenway, Pedestrian and Bicycle Connections component to include the new bus stops and take into account new developments that have a pedestrian element. 5. In cooperation with Miami Dade Transit, the Miami-Dade County Metropolitan Planning Organization and appropriate municipalities, the City shall continue to implement strategies to facilitate a convenient public transit network and coordinate the completion of bus shelters, benches and stops, especially at those locations which generate 20 passengers or more per day.
