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.
