<br />FY 2006 UNIFIED PLANNING WORK PROGRAM <br /> <br />TASK NUMBER AND TITLE: 4.13 MUNICIPAL GRANT PROGRAM <br /> <br />COASTAL COMMUNITIES TRANSPORTATION MASTER PLAN <br /> <br />OBJECTIVES: <br /> <br />· Study the existing and future sub-regional transportation network through extensive <br />data collection, analysis, and public involvement. <br />· Develop a multi-modal list of projects, designed to address identified needs based on <br />the scientific and subjective nature of the project. <br />· Quantify the cost ofthese projects, relative to their planning, design and construction. <br />· Prioritize the list of projects into an Implementable 10 year Coastal Communities <br />Transportation Master Plan. <br />· Achieve community consensus, and approval by each governing body involved. <br />· Enhance regional mobility, in a coordinated manner. <br /> <br />PREVIOUS WORK: <br />· In the late 1990's the Miami Beach Municipal Mobility Plan was developed through a <br />partnership between Miami Beach and the Metropolitan Planning Organization. Its <br />purpose was to examine multi-modal measures by which to mitigate mobility issues <br />on Miami Beach. The vast majority ofthe 45 projects recommended in this plan have <br />been implemented. Due to this success the plan is already in need of updating. To <br />truly provide a higher level of planning, it is believed that the Mobility Plan must be <br />expanded to examine transportation in coastal Miami-Dade County, in a more <br />coordinated and regional manner. It is recognized that the immediately affected <br />communities do not exist in a vacuum, and leadership and vision are needed to jointly <br />manage the transportation system in the area. What is done in one will have far <br />reaching impacts, not only on each cities immediate neighbors, but on mainland <br />Miami-Dade County. It is for this reason that a highly coordinated effort between the <br />affected cities, FDOT, the Miami-Dade MPO, Miami-Dade County and the South <br />Florida Regional Planning Council is needed. <br /> <br />METHODOLOGY: <br /> <br />· This effort strives to set an example as a targeted sub-regional attempt at <br />transportation planning which is multi-modal in nature. In doing so it is imperative to <br />produce a plan that is both scientific and personal in nature. Hard data derived from <br />traffic counts and analysis will be projected. Issues arrived at through accepted <br />methodologies will be supported through an extensive public involvement process. <br />The study will portray existing conditions and project conditions in the future, and <br />will provide a clear picture of the origin and destination of traffic affecting the coastal <br />
