I City Attorney Page 11 MP054/UPWP 2017/MGP FY 2017 Interlocal Agreement Aventura Unified Master Plan for Bike-Ped Rev 6-28-16 I Exhibit A: SCOPE OF SERVICES Unified Master Plan for Pedestrian and Bicycle Connectivity Purpose and Description of Study The purpose of this study is to create a vision for pedestrian and bicycle transportation within the City including its routes and linkages to itself and residential, commercial, recreational and transportation generators. Additionally, the report developed as a result of this effort will serve as the Non-Motorized component of the City's Transportation Element to the Comprehensive Plan. The financially feasible project list will become a component of the City's 5-Year Capital Improvement Element of the Comprehensive Plan. To achieve these objectives, a multi-tasked approach and scope of services has been developed. The methodology is one that is based on frequent and consistent public involvement at various levels in the community and various times in the project. The vision, goals, objectives and needs, will be developed from this phase of the project. Aventura is made up of a diverse array of parks, schools, and moderate to high density residential and commercial areas that need to be better linked with each other from a bicycle and pedestrian stand point. Regional transportation facilities, waterways and large developments and recreation areas, fragment the community from a mobility standpoint. To develop a successful plan that has consensus from the community, it will be important to clearly identify what citizens are looking for in the future to service their non-motorized transportation needs. The City of Aventura plans to develop a needs plan from which to evaluate and refine through the process. To do this, a detailed and creative Public Involvement Plan will be developed,which will solicit public input. Contemporary styled social media platforms will be used to foster communication. Additionally,highly graphic, easily read project materials will be developed to explain the project and the process with clarity that all citizens can easily understand. A review of the Bicycle and Pedestrian Levels of Service for all facilities will point to the need, which will directly lead to the development of the recommendations for improvement. In the near term, it is important to understand the community desires and plan in a bicycle and pedestrian transportation system that effectively integrates and responds to the lager roadway and transit system. Once actual needs are discovered and projects are suggested, a review of funding and finances now and in the future will be performed, so that a financially feasible list of prioritized improvements can be prepared. This will be done by utilizing a methodology focused on several criteria: • Connecting Existing Generators • Ability to Reduce Congestion • Intermodal Network Enhancement • Support of Comprehensive Plan Goals and Objectives • Safety Finally, the report will be presented to the City and the various MPO committees for approval, and the requisite copies of the report will be delivered. Specific tasks include: Task 1 Background Information /Existing Conditions/Currently Planned Projects Corradino will review existing relevant technical background material. Funded and unfunded projects from these documents for the City will be mapped on a GIS database. Research on the future planed bicycle pedestrian network in the City will be based on a variety of sources. A physical review of all the existing bicycle and pedestrian facilities will be undertaken. Aventura will detail this information in tabular and map form. All maps will be developed in the latest GIS format. Task 2: Public Involvement Plan Corradino will develop a Public Involvement Plan that will be used to solicit input on the vision, goals, objectives and needs for this plan. The City believes it is important to understand what the community wants and what it needs. The project team will work hand in hand with the community to figure out what is wanted. Then through the collected data and analysis, will determine what is needed. Consensus is built when the wants and the needs coincide, and truly effective solutions are developed. The public participation plan for this effort will be extensive and will include a detailed menu of activities and meetings. It will involve several levels of involvement including meetings with industry professionals in a steering committee, individual meetings in the community, and meetings in large groups. Other concerned agencies will be notified of the project and updated as necessary in its development several times during the process. These agencies include: • Metropolitan Planning Organization • Florida Department of Transportation • Miami-Dade County Public Works Department(DCPW) • Miami-Dade County Transit (MDT) • Bicycle Pedestrian Advisory Committee(BPAC) Task 3: Vision, Goals, Objective and Needs This task will stem from the public involvement, which will act as the mechanism to discuss the vision, goals, objectives and needs. A goal is defined as the result or achievement toward which an effort is directed, and is generally stated quite broadly. An objective is a more measurable result on the path towards achieving a goal. A need is an actual project or policy. All should focus toward the overall vision from which they are developed. The task of establishing goals and objectives for integrated bicycle and pedestrian transportation in the long term future is vital to guide the planning study. By communicating the values and desires of the community so they may be incorporated in the plan by way of the analysis, alternatives can be developed, and prioritized easily. Task 4: Data Collection and Analysis Corradino will develop and execute a data collection plan that will include the review of the existing information and the collection of new data for the calculation of the bicycle and pedestrian levels of service. The roadway network will be inventoried and evaluated for its quality and level for service. The determination of the bicycle level of service for each segment of the Bicycle and Pedestrian Network will be based on the operational level of service methodology adopted by the Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT). The Bicycle and Pedestrian Level of Service (BLOS) (PLOS) Models identify the level of service for a segment of the network on a scale of A to F based on a numerical model score. The LOS of "A" indicates good cycling or walking conditions and "F" indicates the least favorable conditions. These are a measure of the quality of the environment based on attributes including the vehicle volume and speed on the adjacent roadway,the presence or absence of a striped bike lanes, sidewalks, and the presence or absence of occupied on-street parking. For each segment a LOS Score will be assigned. Task 5: Recommendations Once the individual segments and groups of segments have been rated candidate projects will be developed and evaluated. These projects will be focused on their ability to improve usage, facilities, safety, non-motorized policy, and incentives. A variety of evaluation criteria will be developed by the project team in the public involvement process. These criteria will be weighted and each project will be scored and ranked. These criteria may include: • Connecting Existing Generators • Ability to Reduce Congestion • Intermodal Network Enhancement • Support of Comprehensive Plan Goals and Objectives • Safety • School/Park Access Through the interactive public process these criteria will be reexamined, modified if necessary and confirmed. Each candidate project will be run through the criteria screen and be given a score based on how well they adhere to the criteria. The higher the score, the higher the project will be ranked. The results will be listed in tabular form and mapped on the GIS database. Candidate projects will be categorized by type, such as on road bicycle projects, off road bicycle projects, pedestrian projects. All projects will be analyzed for the cost to plan, design, acquire right-of-way and construct, as well as their ability to enhance mobility and level service. All projects will be portrayed in a one-page format, which describes the projects type, location, on a map, its purpose, need, cost, and rank. The project sheets will be assembled into a "project bank". This document can be used as a playbook by which to easily reference projects and guide implementation. Task 6: List of Prioritized Improvements A review of available funds will be undertaken. This will include a look at local, state and federal sources, as well as funds from private sources or impact fees. An ultimate funding level will be identified based on traditional funding levels and percentages, and this will be allocated over the project types. The highest ranked projects that fit within the available funding limit will represent the financially feasible list of projects. This will be portrayed in textual, tabular and GIS map form.
