<br />patterns, and to maintain business visibility and service access. The <br />pedestrian interconnections increase the synergy of redevelopment <br />with the beach, and also increase the quality of life for residents and <br />visitors. <br /> <br />TRANSIT <br /> <br />Transit is an integral pat of the Transportation Demand Management <br />strategies available to Sunny Isles Beach, where some of the highest <br />percentages of transit use occur in the County. There are four Metro <br />Bus routes that travel through the City, Routes E, H, S, K. Together, <br />these buses provide a seated capacity of over 730 per hour during <br />peak hours, the equivalent of over 870 vehicular trips. In addition, <br />community circulators in Sunny Isles, North Miami Beach, and <br />Aventura can also be integrated into an overall transportation plan <br />that supports redevelopment. increases the residents' quality of life, <br />and provides greater potential for trip generation mitigation that may <br />be needed for redevelopment strategies <br /> <br />STREETSCAPE <br /> <br />Streetscape design is offen an integral part of redevelopment. <br />Streetscapes need to be designed in coordination with transportation <br />plan and traffic management plan. This includes assuring that while <br />traffic flow is efficiently maintained in a sfreetscape design, physical <br />and operational design is balanced to comfortably accommodate <br />safe bicycle trave\. and a safe and enjoyable pedestrian <br />environment. <br /> <br />Building on the current streetscape design progam being developed <br />by the City, and hand in hand with the development of a pedestrian <br />environment. commercial and civic uses need to be integrated into a <br />continuous pedestrian environment. providing points of interest along <br />the way, and an absence of "dead" space. Where "dead" space <br />gaps are identified, opportunities for appropriately scaled <br />development can be identified. <br /> <br />PARKING <br /> <br />Parking management is one of the most important aspects to <br />redevelopment that is viable. Further, parking location, design and <br />management also has impacts on pedestrian quality of life, and transit <br />operations. While the physical requirements of parl<ing often conflict <br />with pedestrian objectives, design guidelines along with a <br />management plan for on-street and off-street parking for long and <br />short term demands can balance these objectives. <br /> <br />SITE ANALYSIS AND DATA COLLECTION <br /> <br />To address the transportation issues above, the following data and <br />analysis may be incorporated in the existing conditions analysis <br /> <br />4 <br />
