The drainage improvements will alleviate the current flooding problem and will ease the driving comfort with increased safety and mobility. The project will consist of roadway reconstruction and/or milling and resurfacing, and a new drainage system with outfall into the NW 127th Street Canal. The project is funded by Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) by Miami -Dade County Public Housing and Community Development Department (PHCD) and also by the State of Florida Revolving Loan by Florida Department of Environmental Protection Agency (FDEP).

THE ITEM IS BUDGETED. DESCRIPTION: NW 38 Avenue is a city - owned, two -lane, two -way asphalt roadway with decrepit condition. The roadway floods even during low frequency, short duration rain events, and creates unsafe conditions for drivers and impairs mobility. These conditions have had negative impacts on businesses, as their customers, suppliers and employees get difficulties in getting effective access to their respective businesses or use of NW 38 Avenue for transit. The drainage improvements will alleviate the current flooding problem and will ease the driving comfort with increased safety and mobility. The project will consist of roadway reconstruction and /or milling and resurfacing, and a new drainage system with outfall into the NW 127`" Street Canal. ACCOUNT NUMBER: 43- 5386314 and 44- 541809. FINANCIAL IMPACT: The project is funded by Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) by Miami -Dade County Public Housing and Community Development Department (PHCD) and also by the State of Florida Revolving Loan by Florida Department of Environmental Protection Agency (FDEP). IMPLEMENTATION TIME LINE: As soon as possible. RECOMMENDATION (S). Staff recommends approval in order to resolve NW 38 Avenue area drainage deficiencies. ANALYSIS: The storm water system consists of a series of canals, swales, storm sewers and exfiltration systems. The existing storm water system in the city consists of a number of independently built facilities rather than an integrated network and do not provide the interdependency as well as an outlet feature to facilitate discharge to local canals system(s). Most of the drainage and storm water management within the city occurs through limited and sparsely located infrastructure and via overland flow along the city streets. Flooding problems are prevalent in the city due to the lack of adequate drainage infrastructure. The city currently experiences significant flooding during periods of light to moderate rainfall events. The roadways within the commercial and industrial areas of the city experience the highest levels of flooding incidents. These roadways subsequently become severely damaged due to the heavy traffic loads and the inundation of the roadway crowns due to flooding. NW 38 Avenue typically impacts the businesses and commercial land uses that are located within these corridors. The drainage system will provide required pre- treatment of the runoff before discharging into NW 127th Street Canal and will alleviate the frequent prolonged flooding issues on NW 38 Avenue.
