Gonzalez, Village Manager, June 2, 2017 Update on Resolution No. 2016-1002: 9900 Block Crosswalk Installation The purpose of this Letter to Council (LTC) is to provide an update regarding the crosswalk improvements in the 9900 block of Collins Avenue approved by Resolution by the Village Council in March 2016. The Resolution called for improvements to be completed at the crosswalk in an effort to improve pedestrian safety within the community. The project is scheduled to finally commence this month after the approval of all permits by the Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT). The project shall have a clearly designated crosswalk across Collins Avenue in stamped asphalt that shall be consistent with the design and aesthetics of other crosswalks throughout the Village. Furthermore the crosswalk shall be illuminated with LED lighting when a pedestrian wishes to cross Collins Avenue. The lighting shall clearly alert drivers of the pedestrian in the crosswalk. The new crosswalk warning system will feature hands - free technology that utilizes motion sensors to activate the LED flashing light system. The work is scheduled to begin on Tuesday, June 6, 2017 at 9:00 A.M. with the installation of stamped asphalt that will delineate the roadway as a crosswalk. A maintenance of traffic (MOT) plan has been created in an effort to minimize the impact to traffic flow as much as possible. There will be a Bal Harbour Police Officer assigned to the construction to take any mitigating action necessary. Community notifications shall also be made via social media and the Wireless Notification System (WENS). The installation is scheduled to be completed by Thursday, June 8, 2017 weather permitting. The installation of the LED flashing lights and signage is scheduled to be installed for late June or early July 2017. The same mitigation factors will be utilized for the completion of that project. If you have any questions or need any further information, please feel free to contact me or Acting Chief De La Rosa. JMG/MdIR
