Description: An application was submitted to Miami Dade County Metropolitan Planning

Study Phase 1. Phase 1 of the study will consist of data collection and engineering analysis of the

Plan would reflect changing conditions and new planning principles. The plan is based on
projections of growth and travel demand coupled with financial assumptions. It specifically looks at
major, urban transportation planning concerns such as environmental/air quality, complete access to
transportation, alternative transportation modes (bicycle and pedestrian in particular), the impact of
land development on the transportation system, highway traffic congestion, and maintenance of the
existing infrastructure.
Financial Impact: The City must provide a twenty percent (20%) minimum match which will be
funded from PTP Account#47-541340.
Implementation Time Line: Immediately.
Legislative History: Resolution No. 11-8179 authorizing the City Manager to submit the
application.
