City of Sunny Isles Beach ∙ RFQ No. 12-04-02 – Planning & Urban Design 4-3 public agency, top-down process, while land use is typically initiated by private developers who work with individual municipalities to have codes put in place. When looking at corridors it is important to gain a perspective on how the stakeholders view the future. Stakeholders include private property owners, local governments, and various transportation and infrastructure agencies. Data and analysis is critical in the development of these studies. It is important to look at projected impacts of development in future year horizons. The net result of these studies should be a list of prioritized, actionable efforts, each well- defined as to timing, cost to plan, design, and construct, as well as responsible agencies and phasing requirements. ROADWAY DESIGN The Corradino Team’s roadway design experience is prolific. Corradino has successfully completed roadway design and drainage projects for cites in Miami-Dade County and across the nation for more than 40 years. The firm provides highway design in three functional areas: project development, functional plans, and functional construction drawings. The firm's extensive experience in highway design ranges from complex interchange configuration development and design, to local streetscape projects. Corradino staff expertly handles projects where issues of constrained right-of-way and permit issuance present major challenges. For the City of Hialeah, Corradino worked with the reconstruction and streetscape of West 8th Avenue from West 51st Place to West 83rd Street. The project includes total reconstruction, including roadway lanes, parking lanes, new drainage system, signing and pavement markings, lighting and landscape.

The project was permitted with the Department of Environmental Management. This is typical of most roadway design projects.
