The UPWP had only $140,000 <br />available for new studies and two other County projects were awarded, instead: An <br />"Arterial Grid Network Analysis" at $60,000, and a "Visioning the Future Study" at <br />$80,000. <br /> <br />Following MPO recommendation, the City of Miami Beach plans has resubmitted our <br />joint "Coastal Communities Transportation Master Plan" application to meet a March 5, <br />2005 deadline under the MPO's 2006 Municipal Grant Program. This latter grant <br />program could be awarded at a maximum amount of $150,000, while our "Coastal <br />Communities Transportation Master Plan" is estimated to cost $275,000. This remaining <br />of $125,000 will have to be a local contribution. <br /> <br />The City of Miami Beach will cover the largest share of the local match, but we would <br />like the other Cities to consider some funding assistance. We can discuss a specific <br />allocation, however if we use population, the distribution would be as follows: <br /> <br />Mu.nicipality Population Distribution Matching Funds <br />City of Aventura 26,142 17.3% $'21,674 <br />Town of Bal Harbour Village 3,309 2.2% 2,743 <br />Town of Bay Harbor Islands 5,118 3.4% 4,243 <br />City of Miami Beach 88,972 59.0% 73,766 <br />City of North Bay Village 6,689 4.4% 5,546 <br />City of Sunny Isles Beach 15,477 10.3% 12,832 <br />Town of Surfside 5.061 3.4% 4.196 <br /> 150,768 100% $125,000 <br />
