CITY OF AVENTURA OFFICE OF THE CITY MANAGER MEMORANDUM TO: FROM: DATE: SUBJECT: Roadway Conversion Study - N. E. 183rd Street Backaround As you are aware, N. E. 183rd Street is currently a private road and is operated and maintained by the 183m Street Road Corporation. The annual budget is approximately $140,000 and includes such items as landscape maintenance and insurance. Each unit utilizing the road is assessed $3.00 a month. A copy of the budget is attached hereto. The City Engineer was requested to conduct an assessment of the roadway to determine what would be necessary to convert the roadway from private to public under the jurisdiction of the City. Emphasis was placed on insuring the safety of the pedestrians and vehicles utilizing the roadway. Where design guidelines or criteria cannot be met, the City Engineer was requested to recommend solutions that used Best Management Practices and reduce potential liability. Attached hereto is the results of the Conversion Study. The following represents a summary of the recommendations for acquisition by the City: 1. Provide curb and gutter along the entire roadway to minimize clear zone requirements and improve drainage. Cost - $182,000 2. Reduce travel lanes from four lanes to two lanes along the mangrove and seawall sections to improve sight distances and clear zones. Provide adequate pedestrian crosswalks and sidewalks at intersections. Cost - $71,000 Page 2 3. Provide guardrails that meet current standards. Cost - $44,000. 4. Relocate western entrance of Admiral's Port Condominium to the west to meet acceptable sight distance requirements. Cost - 71,000. 5. Provide adequate sidewalks. Cost - $40,000. 6. Street light removal and installation. Cost - $106,000. 7. Provide legal documentation for dedication to the City. Cost - $10,000. The total cost of the recommendations is approximately $524,000. I have met with representatives of Admiral's Port Condominium and Commodore Plaza Condominium to discuss the recommendations. They have expressed concerns regarding recommendations 2 and 4. To address their concerns I have requested the City Engineer to prepare a design of the areas to be reduced to two lanes and relocation of the western entrance. In addition a traffic study would be necessary to insure that the redesign could handle the projected traffic flow. I have also scheduled a meeting with Mr. Matus of the 183m Street Road Corporation to discuss the report and the process for the City to accept dedication of the street. Issues The following policy issues will need to be addressed by the City Council with regard to the conversion of the roadway: . Who will fund the recommended improvements? . If the City undertakes the improvements, the road must be dedicated to the City to expend publiC funds. The 183m Street Road Corporation should be required to hold the City harmless from any liability and provide insurance to protect the City until the time that the improvements are completed. . Once the City establishes the Storm Water Utility Fund, portions of this project could be funded from that source. Due to the monetary impact on the city and/or the affected residents, it is important that a uniform policy be developed to address the private road conversion issues. This matter will be discussed at the January 6, 1997 Council Workshop meeting. If you have any questions please fell free to contact me. EMS/aca CC0189-96 a. MONTHLY ASSESSMENT lenning .

The roadways identified for conversion from private roads are as follows: N.E. 35th Avenue N. E. 190th Street N.E. 207th Street N.E. 214th Street N.E. 183rd Street The conversion of N.E. 183rd Street is addressed as a separate study. Attached is the results of the conversion study prepared by the City Engineer, Keith and Schnars, P.A. The study reviews each roadway to determine the roadway elements that do not meet the accepted design criteria. The study also provides recommendations by the City and associated costs that should be addressed prior to acquisition of the roadways. The following is a summary of the report: 1. N.E. 35th Avenue 800' local collector roadway under construction by Developer. Maintained by Developer. a. Remove sight distance obstruction b. Street light installation c. Legal dedication of right-of-way $ 4,284.00 $ 17,136.00 $ 4,800.00 $ 26,220.00 2. N.E.190th Street East of West Country Club Drive 600' local collector roadway. Maintained by Developer. a. Pavement overlay and repair b. Provide cul-de-sac c. Pavement markings and signage d. Sidewalk installation e. Street light installation f. Legal dedication of right-of-way $ 10,567.00 $ 28,560.00 $ 5,712.00 $ 13,250.00 $ 17,136.00 $ 4,800.00 $ 80,025.00 3. N.E. 207TH Street East of N.E. 34th Avenue, 2100' local collector roadway. Maintained by Residential Assessments. a. Provide cul-de-sac b. Pavement markings and signage c. Street light installation d. Legal dedication of right-of-way $ 28,560.00 $ 11 ,424.00 $ 57,120.00 $ 4,800.00 $101,904.00 4. N.E. 214 Street 2700' local collector roadway. Maintained by Residential Assessment. a. Pavement overlay and repair b. Provide cul-de-sac c. Pavement markings d. Street light installation e. Legal dedication of right-of-way $ 45,410.00 $ 28,560.00 $ 7,140.00 $ 74,256.00 $ 4,800.00 $160,166.00 ISSUES In order for the City Administration to negotiate the transfer of the above roadways to the City, it is recommended that a uniform policy be adopted. The policy should address the following: 1. Who is responsible for the costs associated with the recommendations and required improvements? 2. Should the requirements for developer owned roadways and residential association maintained roadways be the same? 3. Should the City perform the required improvements, on any portion thereof after dedication to the City, if adequate insurance and protection is provided to the City? Once the roadway is dedicated to the City, the associations and/or developers would no longer be responsible for the maintenance costs. This will result in a cost savings to the affected residents. Due to the monetary impact on the City and the affected residents, it is important that a uniform policy be developed to address the issues discussed above. This matter will be discussed at the January 6, 1997 Council Workshop Meeting. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me. EMS/aca Attachment CC0188-96 CITY OF AVENTURA OFFICE OF THE CITY MANAGER MEMORANDUM DATE: TO: FROM: SUBJECT: Capital Improvement Program Budget Preparation Procedures 1997/98 - 2001/2002 At this time, each Department will undergo the process of preparing the City's first long term Capital Improvements Program (CIP). The purpose of the CIP is to establish a long term plan of proposed capital expenditures, the means and methods of financing, and a schedule of priorities for implementation. In order to determine the impact on the City's operating budget, debt service and the general trend of future expenditures, the City Council will be provided with the advantage of a CIP document as a point of reference and estimated long term budget plan. In accordance with the State's Growth Management Act, the City is required to undergo this process in order to meet the needs of its Comprehensive Plan. The process is an important one because it is used to evaluate and adopt the project priorities programmed during the five year period of 1997/98 to 2001/02 period. In addition, the CIP is updated annually to add new projects in the fifth year and complete the cycle. Each year the CIP document will be updated and an additional fiscal year will be added. The CIP thus becomes a continuing and ongoing process. This CIP Preparation Manual has been prepared in order to standardize procedures to assist Department Directors in formulating their CIP budget requests. The Manual contains forms and instructions. The CIP will list each proposed capital project on a priority basis, the year in which it will be funded and the proposed method of financing the projects. Based on these details, summaries of capital expenditures in each year can be prepared as well as summaries of financial requirements. A Capital Budget will be included in the annual budget document which will contain projects approved for the first year of the CIP. It is important for the Department Directors to be cognizant of the fact that the City's infrastructure has been neglected prior to incorporation and a comprehensive CIP Preparation Procedures Manual 1 evaluation is necessary to ensure that the community's needs are met. Those Department Directors, who are not requesting projects, must indicate so in a memorandum to my office. An inflation rate of 3.0% should be used when formulating your requests. Departmental CIP packages will be reviewed and prioritized by this office for presentation in document form to the City Council. The overall plan will then be reviewed and adopted at a public meeting of the City Council. Completed CIP packages shall be submitted to my Office on or before February 14, 1997. All questions pertaining to the preparation of your CIP packages should be directed to my attention. The success of this program depends on your cooperation and efforts. EMS/aca CIP Preparation Procedures Manual 2 CaDitallmDrovement Proaram Policies 1. Annually, the City will prepare a five-year capital improvement program analyzing all anticipated capital expenditures and identifying associated funding sources. Future capital expenditures necessitated by changes in population, changes in development, growth, redevelopment or changes in economic base will be calculated and included in the Capital update process. 2. The City will perform all capital improvements in accordance with an adopted capital improvement program. 3. The classification of items as capital or operating will be determined by two criteria - cost and frequency. Generally, a capital project has a "useful life" of more than one year and a value of $2,500 or more, or for office equipment $500 or more. 4. The City will coordinate development of the capital improvement budget with the development of the operating budget. Future operating costs associated with new capital improvements will be projected and included in the operating forecasts. 5. The first year of the five-year capital improvement program will be used as the basis for formal fiscal year appropriations during the annual budget process. 6. The City will maintain all of its assets at a level adequate to protect the City's capital investment and to minimize future maintenance and replacement costs. 7. The City will identify the estimated cost of capital projects and prepare a funding projection that considers revenues and operating costs to be included in the Capital Improvement Program document that is submitted to the City Council for approval. 8. The City will determine the most appropriate financing method for all new projects. CIP Preparation Procedures Manual 4 .-w-.... - T T.... 9. If appropriate, the City will attempt to maintain a mixed policy of pay-as-you-go and borrowing against future revenues for financing capital projects . 10. Total aggregate amount of outstanding general obligation bonds shall not exceed 10% of the total assessed value of the City of Aventura. 11. The City will maintain ongoing maintenance schedules relating to road, sidewalk, drainage and utility system improvements. 12. The City will address and prioritize infrastructure needs on the basis of protecting the health, safety and welfare of the community. 13. A CIP preparation calendar shall be established and adhered to. 14. Capital projects will conform to the City's Comprehensive Plan. 15. Long-term borrowing will not be used to fund current operations or normal maintenance. 16. The City will strive to maintain an unreserved general fund balance at a level not less than 7.5% of the annual general fund revenue. 17. If new project appropriation needs are identified at an interim period during the fiscal year, the funding sources will be identified and mid-year budget amendments will be utilized to provide formal budgetary authority. In addition budget amendments may be utilized to increase appropriations for specific capital projects.

CITY OF AVENTURA OFFICE OF THE CITY MANAGER MEMORANDUM DATE: TO: FROM: SUBJECT: Building Inspection Services At the time the City awarded the contract for Building Inspection Services to CAP Engineering, the City Council passed a motion requesting that the services be re-bid in January 1997. Based upon the following issues, I would request that the City Council reconsider this motion and extend the current agreement to January 1998: 1. CAP Engineering has only provided services for month of November and December. This is too short a period to evaluate the workflow. 2. CAP Engineering was very helpful during the transition process between the City and County. In fact they were instrumental in resolving many of the permitting problems between the City and County. Due to their assistance, the contractors and the developer community has repetitively praised the permitting and inspection services provided by the City. 3. CAP Engineering assisted the City in the recruitment of our Chief Building Official. 4. The Dade County Director of Building Code Compliance has advised the Community Development Director, that the firm is the only one currently certified by the County. I feel it is in the best interests of the City and community to extend the contract at this time. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me. EMS/aca CC0196-97 CITY OF AVENTURA OFFICE OF THE CITY MANAGER MEMORANDUM DATE: January 3,1996 TO: City Council FROM: Eric M. Soroka, Ci SUBJECT: Bus Bench Advertising Policy Background One of the goals and priorities adopted by the City Council for 1996/97 was the elimination of bus bench advertising and replacing them with more attractive benches. Metro Dade Transit Agency currently contracts with a company, Bench Advertising, who provides the benches and advertising throughout locations in the City of Aventura. They are also required to provide maintenance within five feet of the bench. The County receives revenue from the private company. Several Dade County cities have adopted a similar concept including North Miami Beach. The City has the following options with regard to the bus bench advertising: 1. Maintain the current contract with the exception of transferring the revenues, generated from the advertisements, from the County to the City. 2. Place the contract out for bid and award on the basis of revenues distributed to the City. 3. Remove the benches and the City would replace with more attractive benches without advertising. Recommendation In order to continue our efforts to beautify the city, it is recommended that the City Council adopt the policy of removing the benches with advertising and replacing them with more attractive benches. However, it is also recommended that the bus benches on Biscayne Boulevard remain until the construction projects are completed. This policy, if adopted, would be phased in over a period of time. ~ - Attached is the bus stop inventory for the City of Aventura. If you have any questions please feel free to contact me.

Soroka, Ci~ Amy Erei@ TO: RE: International Sister Cities Program I spoke to the membership representative for Sister Cities International and learned the following about the program: . an application for membership must be completed and returned with our annual membership dues of $280.00 (City's with 10,000 - 25,000 residents) . once this information is received by the membership department, our application is sent to the affiliation department where the process of finding a compatible sister city for Aventura begins. This process can take anywhere from six months to two years . a letter must be sent, by either you or Mayor Snyder, explaining the City of Aventura's interest in the program. This letter must include all pertinent information about Aventura and serves to ensure that an appropriate match is made abroad. If Aventura wishes to be paired with a particular nation, this, too, should be specified in the letter . Sister Cities International goals include: ~ developing partnerships between U.S. towns, cities counties and states and similar jurisdictions of other nations ~ creating opportunities for all people to experience/explore other cultures through long term partnerships ~ creating an atmosphere in which economic development/trade can be explored, implemented and strengthened ~ to open dialogue and address issues ranging from the cultural to the technical, from the municipal to the medical, from the environmental to the educational and beyond ~ stimulating environments through which partnerships can creatively learn, work and solve problems together ~ collaborating with other organizations, both U.S. and abroad, that share similar visions and goals I will notify you when I receive the membership information I requested. -..'''''''''------.'.- -.'___.......'T"T-".u_.

INTRODUCTION Keith and Schnars, P.A has been retained by the City of Aventura to prepare a roadway conversion study of current private roadways to public domain for the City. The scope of the study is to identify the roadway elements that do not meet the accepted design criteria. The roadways identified for conversion from private roads to public domain roads are as follows: NE l83rd Street (2900') The study shall to identify the existing roadway conditions and compare them to the criteria of the Metro-Dade Public Works Manual, AASHTO A Policy on Geometric Design of Highways and Streets (1990), the Manual of Uniform Minimum Standards for Design, Construction, and Maintenance for Streets and Highways (FOOT Green Book), and the FOOT Roadway and Traffic Design Standards for Design, Construction, Maintenance and Utility Operations on the State Highway System. Where the listed design guidelines and standards are not applicable or cannot be met, recommendations are provided using Best Management Practices (BMP). Recommendations made in this report shall reflect the above mentioned criteria for roadway improvements. City of Aventura Roadway Conversion Study K&S Project No. 15414.03.05001 December 9, 1996 Page 2 N.E. 183 STREET (WILLIAMS ISLAND BOULEVARD) I. ROADWAY DESCRIPTION N.E. l83rd Street is located in the southeast portion of the City of A ventura. At the present time N.E. 1 83rd Street is a private roadway which starts at Biscayne Boulevard (US 1) and terminates at the eastern end into a residential development The City of A ventura is evaluating the acquisition of N.E. l83rd Street which is approximately 2900 feet in length and is classified as a local collector roadway as defmed by the Metro-Dade standards. The roadway connects to Biscayne Boulevard (US 1) which is the major north-south arterial for this area The roadway can be divided into four characteristic sections. These sections are identified as the Western, Mangrove, Seawall, and Eastern Sections. The right-of-way width and general geometric layout of the road varies with each of these sections per the ingress egress easement of this private roadway. I. ROADWAY EVALUATIONS 1. Geometric Design Existing conditions The western roadway cross-section consists of four (4) travel lanes and a twelve foot median. No sidewalks or pedestrian crossing are in this section. The mangrove roadway section consists of four (4) travel lanes and a 60 foot median consisting of mangroves in a wet environment that is connected hydraulically to open water with a 42" culvert. The mangrove section has a four (4) foot sidewalk located on the south side of the roadway that terminates at the entrance to a residential development without pedestrian crosswalks or pavement markings. The seawall section of the roadway consists of four (4) undivided travel lanes with a guardrail, a 3.5 foot sidewalk: and seawall located on the south side. The seawall does not provide railing protection for pedestrians. The eastern section of the roadway consists of four (4) undivided travel lanes with a five (5) foot sidewalk located beyond ten (10) feet from the edge of pavement. The posted speed limit is 25 mph and the design speed is 30 mph. Design Evaluations The roadway geometry is generally acceptable and is within the geometric cross section design standards of the Metro-Dade for travel lane and minimum median widths. City of Aventura Roadway Conversion Study K&S Project No. 15414.03.05001 December 9, 1996 Page 3 2. Horizontal Alignment Existin~ Conditions The horizontal alignment of the roadway is generally straight with minor horizonal curves to align the roadway within the variable width of the ingress and egress easement. These minor horizonal curves includes small sections of compound curves in the area of the western entrance to the Admiral's Port residential development This compound curve exacerbates the insufficient sight distance for this intersection. The median intersection at the eastern end of the mangrove section has insufficient travel lane widths of 7.5 feet The Metro-Dade standard of 12 foot lane width is required. Turning movements at this intersection have been observed to severely encroach the adjacent travel lane where the vehicles exiting the gated driveway from the residential development on the south side of the road cross two lanes of eastbound traffic to turn around to go westbound. Desi~ Evaluation The compound curve should be realigned to minimize vehicle turns and unnecessary maneuver. This realignment option is discussed in the following clear zone section. The median intersection for the mangrove sections do not meet the Metro-Dade standards for 12 foot wide lane width and need to be improved. Private driveways and median intersections need coordination for safe transition of crossing travel lane traffic. This coordination may require the closing of the median intersection located at the eastern end of the mangrove section to comply with the turning radius and storage length design standards. 3. Clear Zone Existinll' Condition The western section of N.E. l83rd does not have curb and gutter along either side of the roadway and based on the Metro-Dade standards, a clear zone of 10 feet is required. At the present time, the western and mangrove sections of the roadway have trees, street light poles and signs located within 4 feet from the edge of pavement. There are inadequate guardrail clear zones for the mangrove and seawall sections that are less than 8 feet from edge of pavement to face of the guardrail. Metro-Dade standards for edge of pavement to guardrail face is 8 feet. The mangrove section distance is 4 feet and the seawall section is less than 1 foot. The guardrail system for the mangrove section median area is a concrete post with a chain railing that does not conform to the Metro-Dade standard guardrail criteria. The posts and chain guardrail system has several broken posts and sections where the chain is not connected to the posts and hangs unanached. The metal guardrail at the 42 inch culvert connection in the mangrove section and along the seawall in the City of Aventura Roadway Conversion Study K&S Project No. 15414.03.05001 December 9, 1996 Page 4 seawall section do not conform to the Metro-Dade standard guard rail criteria. These guardrails do not have the required straight-end anchorage or the offset block between the post and the rail section. Desi~ Evaluation The clear wne requirements for this roadway classification and type of roadway need to be brought into conformance with the Metro-Dade standards. All obstructions within the clear zone must be removed beyond the minimum requirements to allow for an errant vehicle to safely regain control. Clear zone and sight distances conformance to acceptable design standards may require that portions of the mangrove and seawall sections of N.E. 183rd Street be realigned and reconfigured from four (4) travel lanes to two (2) travel lanes. This option would require a comprehensive traffic analysis to evaluate the traffic volume, turning movements and traffic patterns to establish the optimum design criteria for a safe roadway reconfiguration within the confmes of the existing ingress and egress easement. Another option would be to install a curb and gutter system for the entire roadway which would reduce the clear zone requirement from 10 feet to 4 feet. This option would still require an 8 foot clear zone for the guardrail and require a comprehensive drainage study to connect the drainage to positive outfall systems. All guardrails must conform to the Metro-Dade standard guardrail criteria. 4. Sight Distance Existing Conditions Inadequate sight distances exist at median crossings and intersections within the mangrove and seawall sections due to obstructions in the clear zones. The western entrance to the Admiral Port Condominium in the seawall section does not provide adequate sight distance for westbound traffic due to building and hedge obstructions. Speed humps at pedestrian crossings in the seawall section slow traffic to minimize sight stopping distance however, these speed humps are not acceptable per any design criteria. Desi~ Evaluation The removal and/or relocations of all obstructions within the clear zones can also provide conformance to Metro-Dade standards for sight distance. The relocation of the Admiral Pons western entrance to the west can provide adequate sight distance and clear zone away from the building and hedges. The realignment and reduction from four to two travel lanes option to provide adequate clear zones within the limited ingress and egress easement would also improve sight distance. The speed humps have been observed to effectively limit the speed of traffic but also introduce a risk City of Aventura Roadway Conversion Study K&S Project No. 15414.03.05001 December 9, 1996 Page 5 element for the City of A ventura to assume as there currently exists no approved speed hump criteria per Metro-Dade standards or the FDOT. The speed humps appear to be a speed limit control to compensate for the lack of sight distance in the mangrove and seawall sections. Minimizing the speed limit would minimize the safe stopping sight distance. 5. Roadway Drainage Existinl: C.onditions The western section of this roadway does not provide a drainage system. Roadway drainage for the western section is overland flow to the adjacent properties and/or into Biscayne Blvd (US 1). The mangrove, seawall and eastern sections of the roadway have adequate positive drainage and/or drainage structures with discharge systems. Desi~ Evaluation The storm drain system for the Western section needs to be connected with the mangrove median section via a storm water collection system. This should be incorporated with any curb and gutter system options that would also reduce the clear zone requirements from 10 feet to 4 feet. 6. Pavement Section Existinl: C.onditions In order to evaluate the pavement section, soil borings were taken at three (3) locations along this section of roadway. The soil borings indicate that the pavement section varies from 2.5 to 4.5 inches and the base course is consistent at 1.5 feet of limerock. Desi~ Evaluation A minimum of 1.0 inches of asphalt is provided on this roadway classillcation which conforms to the requirements of Metro-Dade standards. 7. Pedestrian - Bicycle Facilities Existinl: Conditions The north side of the roadway for all sections do not have sidewalks or bicycle facilities. The mangrove and seawall sections have a four (4) foot (or less) sidewalk along the south side of the roadway and does not conform to the standard tlve (5) foot width. The offset distance for non-curbed roadways per Metro- Dade standards is 10 feet. The eastern section of the roadway sidewalk and offset does conform to Metro-Dade standard. No pedestrian crossing pavement markings exist at the City of Aventura Roadway Conversion Study K&S Project No. 15414.03.05001 December 9, 1996 Page 6 intersection with N.E. 35th Avenue or at the western termination of the south sidewalk. Design Evaluation Provide a standard five (5) foot sidewalk that is continuous and connects the residential developments to the City of Aventura sidewalk and bicycle facilities. This option could be included with a curb and gutter option to reduce the width of clear zones. 8. Street Lighting Existing C.onditions Street lighting is located within the right-of-way and is generally under the tree canopy of the landscaping, Portions of the existing street lighting is obscured by tree branches and foliage. Some of the street light base and poles are within the clear zone requirements of the roadway. Design Evaluation Provide assurance that the existing street lighting meets the recommended minimum illumination level of 0.4 foot candles for residential local roads per AASFITO Geometric Design of Highways and Streets (Table V-12). Trim the trees and foliage to provide unobscured street lighting, Relocate all street light poles to be outside the clear zone requirements for the roadway. 9, Pavement Markings Existinl: Conditions The roadway has a posted speed of 25 mph and the pavement markings delineate pavement edge, travel lanes, turn lane arrows, speed humps and cross-walks. The existing pavement markings are worn in several locations. Design Evaluation In order to provide traffic signage and pavement marking in accordance with Metro- Dade standards, improvements would need to be made to the pavement marking along the roadway.

CLEAR ZONE, DRAINAGE AND OBSTRUCTIONS Provide curb and gutter along the entire roadway to minimize clear zone requirements from ten (10) feet to four (4) feet. This option should also provide drainage structures to insure positive drainage for the western section. The reduction of minirnwn clear zones would minimize removal and relocation of trees, street light poles, and other obstructions along the western and mangrove sections of the roadway. Preliminary Cost Estimate. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . $ 182,088.56 B. TRAVEL LANE REDUCTIONS AND RESTRIPPING Redirect traffic in the mangrove and seawall section by reducing the four (4) travel lanes to two (2) travel lanes for adequate sight distances and clear zones. Remove the speed humps and provide adequate pedestrian crosswalk and sidewalks at all intersections and along the roadway. Increase median intersection turn radius and lane widths or remove the median openings of the mangrove section to meet the Metro-Dade standards. Thermal plastic pavement markings should be provided along this roadway for the recommended travel lane realignment options in order to conform with the Metro-Dade standards.

INTRODUCTION This report presents the findings of the Pedestrian Circulation Study conducted for Country Club Drive within the City of Aventura, Florida. The study, perfonned under Work Authorization No. 15414.09 consisted of detailed field inspections of intersections, sidewalks and driveways along Country Club Drive north of the Wm. Lehman Causeway (SR 856). The purpose of the study is to identify if there are existing pedestrian facilities along Country Club Drive which are inconsistent with sound design practices and pose a potential safety hazard to pedestrians. The facilities addressed in this study include signalized intersections, major driveways, existing pedestrian crosswalks, sidewalks and pedestrian walkways. Inquiries were also made relative to historical accident patterns. The report is organized to present a description of existing conditions, observed deficiencies and recommendations for improvements. The recommendations set forth in this study are of a conceptual nature. Each intersection and major driveway has unique physical characteristics which will require a site specific design. Therefore, the recommended improvements are intended to provide a general treatment for signing and pedestrian signal heads, to be refined at the design stage for those recommendations which are selected for implementation. The study identified a number of design deficiencies, non-confonnance to standards, and unsafe pedestrian accommodations along Country Club Drive. Where deemed beneficial, a graphic has been included in the report to provide schematic details of the facilities under discussion. These schematic drawings are meant for illustrative purposes only and are not to scale or survey quality. Schematic details of recommended improvements are contained in the figures attached to this report. II. COUNTRY CLUB DRIVE Existing Conditions Country Club Drive is a four (4) lane divided collector roadway. The roadway's alignment is generally curvalinear and in a horseshoe pattern connecting with the frontage roads along the Wm. Lehman Causeway at two (2) locations, and extending under the Wm. Lehman Causeway to N.E. 190 Street (Marina Del Rey Boulevard) at the western section of the roadway. Due to its circular alignment Country Club Drive has been named as West Country Club Drive, North Country Club Drive, and East Country Club Drive. The pedestrian study focussed on the entire roadway north of the Wm. Lehman Causeway. That section of Country Club Drive extends for an approximate 12,500 feet or 2.3 miles and includes West. East and North Country Club Drive. Significant features relative to pedestrians along this section of Country Club Drive include three (3) signalized intersections, a paved sidewalk five feet (5') in width along the outer periphery of the roadway, a paved walkway ten feet (10') in width along the inside of the roadway (within the infield area) and fourteen (14) bus stops. Along the entire 2.3 miles of City ofAventum Country Club Drive Pedestrian Study Revised December 12. 1996 Page 4 Country Club Drive only four (4) striped pedestrian crosswalks are provided to cross the divided four (4) lane cross section. Three (3) of these crosswalks are provided at three (3) signalized intersections and one (I) is located mid-block at the driveway to the Tumberry Isle Resort & Club. The posted speed limit along Country Club Drive is 35 miles per hour (mph). Curbing is not uniformly provided along the roadway edges but does exist at the comers of intersections and driveways, as well as at the end of median islands. The four (4) travel lanes each measure 12 feet (12') in width and are constructed as two (2) roadway sections each 24 feet (24') in width and separated by a landscaped median varying between 24 feet and 28 feet in width. The outside sidewalk is separated from the edge of the travel lanes by a grass area 25 feet to 27 feet in width. The paved walkway along the interior of Country Club Drive is separated from the travel lanes by a grass area 10 feet to 20 feet in width. The walkway has a meandering alignment along the roadway through well landscaped and park like terrain. In general, the Country Club Drive corridor is well landscaped and the interior walkways were observed to attract pedestrians, rollerbladers and bicyclists during daylight as well as evening hours. Land use along Country Club Drive consists of a mixture of commercial and residential uses with the predominant land use being luxury high rise residential. For the purpose of identifying general geographic areas, the most significant developments and communities fronting Country Club Drive were noted. A total of 26 different developments could be distinguished in the field and are detailed on Figure I. Observed D~ficiencies Although specific locations with deficiencies will be identified throughout the report, some general corridor-wide observations are worthy of discussion. The deep setbacks of the sidewalk and walkway from the travel lanes along both sides of the street ranging from 25 feet to 27 feet cause pedestrian sight distance restrictions for vehicles exiting driveways between the walls and landscaping of walled and gated developments (see Figure 16). Additionally, this spacing does not allow a vehicle to approach Country Club Drive and stop at the correct position clear of the path of crossing pedestrians. Simply stated, the STOP position at the sidewalk is too far from the edge of the travel lanes to meet standards. A cursory review of the sidewalk on both sides of the road revealed that the general condition of the paved surface is adequate although a number of holes were observed in several locations. An example of the walkway alignment is provided in the discussion on intersections and detailed on Figure II. It was also noted that most of the paved mid-block bus stops are recessed into the edge of the roadway and provide a shelter for transit passengers. However, there are no paved connections between these recessed bus stops and the existing paved sidewalk. Transit passengers must therefore walk through several feet of grass often in excess of ten feet (10'), which can be unpleasant during the rainy season. The lack of a paved connection is an impediment to access for a handicapped person. City of Aventura Country Club Drive Pedestrian Study Revised December 12, /996 Page 5 Operating speeds on all sections of Country Club Drive appear to be higher than the posted 35 miles per hour speed limit. It is anticipated that improved enforcement from the new police force will reduce speed violations. However, the four (4) lane cross section combined with few signalized intersections will continue to induce higher speeds. It is therefore recommended that traffic improvements use the 85 percentile speed and not the posted speed for design purposes. This will provide a greater margin for safety by imposing design standards based on the actual operating speeds and not the posted speed limit. Observations revealed that many residents use the interior walkway for strolling and rollerblading at night. Lighting along this walkway is indirect and was not observed to be very good. Lighting along this walkway is not critical to traffic safety until the walkway approaches and crosses an intersection or driveway approach, of which there are several. General Recommendations . The setback of sidewalks and walkways at the approach to intersections and driveways should be improved to allow a side street vehicle to be in a standard STOP position (see Figure 11). . Provide paved sidewalk connections between the existing bus stops and the sidewalk. . Whenever feasible, measure and use the 85 percentile speed as a design standard. . Consider lighting the walkway along the interior of Country Club Drive. . Maintain 25 feet by 25 feet comer sight triangles at all sidewalk/driveway intersections. . Increase the number of pedestrian crossings over the 2.3 mile length. III. ACCIDENT HISTORY Accident and safety histories were investigated for the Country Club Drive corridor. The initial screening involved a review of the incident reports maintained by Metro-Dade police from January I, 1992 to September 30, 1996. These incident reports do not provide full details of collisions, however they do reveal if a problem location exists. The summary of this information is contained in Table I General Accident Summary. This table identifies a total of twelve accidents for the 4 year and 9 month period reviewed. Of particular interest is that six (6) of the twelve accidents occurred at the intersection of West Country Club Drive and N.E. 192 Street which is the Wm. Lehman Causeway frontage road and within FOOT jurisdiction. Therefore, a total of six (6) accidents were reported for the 2.3 mile section of Country Club Drive beyond N.E. 192 Street. This is not indicative of a problem location. However, the discussions with the Delvista management and our own observations identified a pedestrian City of A ventura Country Club Drive Pedestrian Study Revised December /2. /996 Page 6 TABLE 1 GENERAL ACCIDENT SUMMARY FROM INCIDENT REPORTS NUMBER DATE TIME GENERAL LOCATION 09/08/96 12:4] PM 3675 North Country Club Drive 2 OS/25/96 11:57 AM West Country Club Drive @ NE 192 Street 3 01/27/96 6:22 PM West Country Club Drive @ NE 192 Street 4 12/18/95 5:23 PM 19252 East Country Club Drive 5 12/13/95 8:09 AM 195 West Country Club Drive 6 11/20/95 1:11 PM 19200 West Country Club Drive 7 11/12/95 9:08 PM West Country Club Drive @ NE 7:07 PM 192 Street 8 05/10/95 6:40 PM 19200 West Country Club Drive 9 05/08/95 3:27 PM A ventura Blvd. @ West Country Club Drive 10 03/17/95 7:07 PM East Country Club Drive Near NE 192 Street II o 1/04/94 11:23AM East Country Club Drive Near NE 192 Street 12 08/27/93 11:49AM West Country Club Drive @ NE 192 Street Source: Report dates from January I, 1992 through September 30, 1996. City of A ventura Country Club Drive Pedestrian Study Revised December 12. 1996 Page 7 conflict area at the N.E. 34 Avenue intersection. A proactive improvement program to improve safety as described in the section titled INTERSECTIONS should be undertaken to reduce the potential for a serious pedestrian injury at that location. Due to the method currently available for the retrieval of accident information, additional details on the six accidents which did occur along Country Club Drive will not be available prior to the due date for this report. However, the total number of accidents do not identify a chronic problem. Recommendation It is suggested that the GIS database currently being developed by our office include crash locations and safety records to enable the efficient retrieval of safety information for future use and response to citizen inquiries. IV. INTERSECTIONS There are in excess of 30 driveways or intersections along the 2.3 mile length of Country Club Drive. Only three of these are signalized intersections. The signalized intersections are located at West Country Club Drive and the Wm. Lehman Causeway frontage road, West Country Club Drive and Aventura Boulevard, and North Country Club Drive and N.E. 34 Avenue. An additional intersection which is discussed in this section is West Country Club Drive and the Tumberry Isle Resort & Club driveway since it is typical of many major driveways and also has one of the only four pedestrian crosswalks. A. West Country Club Drive and Wm. Lehman Causeway Frontage Road (NE 192 Street) This is a complex frontage road intersection which provides access to the Wm. Lehman Causeway (SR 856). This intersection is within the jurisdiction of the Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) and has all the necessary pedestrian facilities consisting of a striped crosswalk supplemented with pedestrian push buttons (PPB) and pedestrian signal heads flashing WALK and/or DONT WALK advisory messages. The crosswalk is provided across the north approach and the sidewalk is provided along both sides of West Country Club Drive (see Figure 2A). Observed Deficiencies The only observed deficiency at this location was the lack of good lighting along the interior sidewalk for pedestrians walking around the northeast comer of the intersection proceeding east along the frontage road. Recommendations Consider improved lighting as a security amenity. City of A ventura Country Club Drive Pedestrian Study Revised Decemher /2. /996 Page 8 B. West Country Club Drive and Turnben:y Isle Resort & Club This is a four (4) way intersection formed by aligned cross street driveways consisting of the Turnberry Isle Resort & Club access on the east, with their employee parking lot access on the west. This intersection is unsignalized. A pedestrian crosswalk is provided across the south approach which also crosses the depressed curb of the median. The cross street approaches have posted STOP signs. Observed D~ficiencies There are several intersection conditions which do not conform to the standards set forth in the Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices (MUTCD). They include inadequate crosswalk width, improper side street approach position (both sides) and incorrect warning signs (See Figures 3B and 3C). Recommended lmnrovements The north-south sidewalk and pedestrian crosswalks must be moved toward the edge of the roadway to allow the sidewalks to be shifted as depicted on Figure II combined with the positioning of the STOP sign at the STOP bar pavement marker. Any crosswalk at a non- signalized location must be a minimum 10 feet in width. In addition, the pedestrian warning signs are erroneously indicating a school zone crosswalk (S I-I), whereas it needs to indicate a pedestrian warning sign (WI 1-2) supplemented with an advance warning sign with distance plate (WlIA-2) as detailed in a later section of this report dealing with mid-block crosswalks. C. West Country Club Drive and Aventura Boulevard This intersection is a three (3) leg intersection with A ventura Boulevard intersecting from the west. This intersection is signalized and provides dual left turns from the northbound approach, dual right turns from the southbound approach and dual left turns from the eastbound approach. In each case, the second "dual" turning movement is a shared movement lane with a through movement or other turn. The traffic signal operates as a three (3) phase signal. Pedestrian crosswalks are provided across the south approach and the west approach. Observed Deficiencies The sidewalk at the southwest corner has a large sweeping radius taking the pedestrians away from the crossing point a distance of 59 feet requiring the northbound pedestrians to make a sharp turn to return to this intersection. A more serious problem is the lack of pedestrian push buttons and pedestrian signal heads. These heads are warranted by the unusual signal phasing and unclear assignment of right-of-way for the pedestrian. Further complicating the matter is a conflicting right turn only arrow for the eastbound approach while the pavement marking indicates a permissible shared right and left turn lane (See Figure 4A). City of A ventura Country Club Drive Pedestrian Study Revised December /2. /996 Palie 9 Recommendations The sidewalk within the southwest comer of the intersection should be re-aligned to direct the pedestrians toward the intersection crosswalk not away from it (see Figure 12). The entire signal operation should be reviewed and brought up to MUTCD and FDOT conformance including the removal of the conflicting right turn arrow message at the eastbound approach. D. North Country Club Drive and N.E. 34 AvenueIDelvista This intersection is a four (4) way signalized intersection controlling the access driveway to the Delvista residential development from the south. Pedestrian crosswalks are striped across all four (4) approaches. Exclusive left turn lanes are provided for all approaches, however protected left turn signal phases do not exist for all approaches. Pedestrian signal heads are not provided at any approaches (see Figure SA). Observed Deficiencies The northeast and the northwest comer of the intersection have drainage swales and catch basins within the sidewalk area at the intersection comer. The four feet (4') of sidewalk surround the catch basins but make the recessed depth a potential hazard for a handicapped pedestrian or wheelchair (see Figures SB and SC). The interior walkway approaches the westbound crossing across the Delvista access at an approximate four to five percent (4%- S%) downhill grade (see Figure SA). This crossing is frequently used by rollerbladers who have a difficult time stopping before entering the intersection approach (see Figure SD). The guard at the Delvista gate as well as the Manager of the facility have advised us that there are frequent near misses with vehicles and pedestrians (rollerbladers) many with minor falling injuries. Recommendations The catch basins located within the sidewalk areas should be improved to remove the paved slope at the edge of the sidewalk. This improvement may be investigated as part of the drainage improvements being considered along Country Club Drive. The intersection traffic signal should be upgraded to include pedestrian signal heads. These signal heads should be supplemented with signs at the interior walkway approaches, stating CROSS ONLY ON SIGNAL (RIO-2A). Also, the outbound approach from Delvista should have signs added stating STOP HERE ON RED (RIO-6) and NO TURN ON RED (RIO - Ila) to prevent the vehicle from creeping up to the crosswalk. The downhill slope of the walkway justifies additional safety measures especially for rollerbladers. Advance warning signs are recommended in addition to the pedestrian signal heads. If pedestrian conflicts continue after implementing the recommended improvements, it may become necessary to regrade and lessen the downhill slope. The schematic improvements are detailed on Figure 13A. Additional lighting may also enhance safety. City of A ventura Country Club Drive Pedestrian Study Revised December 12. 1996 Page 10 V. PEDESTRIAN CROSSWALKS Based on the orientation of luxury residential high rise communities opposite the road from a recreational walkway along Country Club Drive, a need and desire to cross the road has been created. The density of residential units clearly warrants additional pedestrian crossings within the total length of 12,500 feet. The shortage is particularly acute along North Country Club Drive and East Country Club Drive. It is always preferable to locate a pedestrian crosswalk at a signalized intersection where the crossing movements can be regulated with signal control. However, traffic signal warrants are very difficult to achieve. An unwarranted traffic signal is seldom authorized and if installed without such authorization becomes a clear liability. The second choice for additional crosswalks are crossings at unsignalized intersections, driveways or mid-block crossings. These additional crossing locations can be selected based upon visibility and uniform spacing to provide reasonable crossing access for most of the residential developments along the Country Club Drive corridor. To assist with the design and selection of the crossings, typical cross sections of Country Club Drive were identified as measured at the locations detailed on Figure 6A. Each cross section is then detailed on Figures 6B and 6C and generally indicates the total width from edge of crosswalk to edge of crosswalk to be 140 to 150 feet. The median width varies from 23.5 feet to 28.5 feet in width which allows the design of a functional as well as aesthetic median crossing. The placement of the pedestrian crossings should be governed by need and a reasonable spacing policy to maximize the effectiveness of the crossing while not unduly disrupting traffic operations. The advance pedestrian warning signs should be placed from 300 feet to 500 feet (based on specific conditions) in advance of the crosswalk to accommodate speeds in the range of 45 miles per hour. A typical detail for signing the approaches to a mid-block or non- signalized crossing is provided on Figure 7 which details a minimum crosswalk spacing of 1,500 feet. With such a configuration the walking distance from any residential development to a crosswalk is generally no more than 750 feet. The warning sign placement will vary somewhat based on the specific geometric roadway conditions on the approach to each specific crosswalk. The general area where new crosswalks should be considered are depicted on Figure 8 and are listed below: 1. At the intersection formed by the Coronado and Villa Derado driveways. 2. At the intersection formed by the driveway of the El Dorado III and IV. 3. At the intersection formed by the Landmark driveway. 4. At the intersection formed by the driveway to the Country Club Estates of A ventura. 5. At the intersection formed by Tumberry Isle. A crosswalk design at a non-signalized or mid-block location can be a standard design City ofAventura Country Club Drive Pedestrian Study Revised December 12. 1996 Page II consisting of a striped crosswalk ten feet (l0') in width (see Figure II) or a wider crosswalk consisting of paver bricks with paver and landscape treatment within the median (see Figure 9). The selection of the median and crosswalk treatment may be considered as part of an overall landscaping program. VI. PEDESTRIAN W ALKW A YS Existin~ Conditions The pedestrian walkway along the east side of West Country Club Drive, south side of North Country Club Drive and west side of East Country Club Drive is a continuous 10 feet wide paved macadam walkway used by pedestrians, rollerbladers and occasionally bicyclists. Observed Deficiencies The walkway is generally in good condition, however pavement failure was observed in several locations (in aggregate totaling 500 linear feet) requiring repair or resurfacing. Small STOP signs such as are posted for bicycle paths are intermittently provided. The alignment of the walkway at intersections requires additional signing. Recommendation Repair and/or resurface the walkway where necessary. Install tree root barriers as needed to protect the tree roots from uprooting the walkway. Sign the approaches to major driveways and intersections with downsized intersection warning signs such as depicted on Figure 13B. Consideration should be given to separating pedestrian and wheeled pedestrian traffic such as with the modified sign type R9-7 depicted on Figure 13B. A lane line can be striped on the walkway to further delineate a rollerblade lane such as is currently used in Central Park, Plantation, Florida. VII. SUMMARY OF RECOMMENDATIONS Based on the findings resulting from the pedestrian circulation study, a number of recommendations are set forth to improve both pedestrian safety and circulation throughout this report. As requested, a summary of recommendations was prepared outlining the conceptual improvements and approximate costs. Accurate cost estimates can be developed if these concepts are selected for implementation and an engineering design is prepared for each location. 1. Realign walkway and sidewalk approaches at both sides to each major driveway such as depicted on Figure II. There are in excess of thirty (30) locations. Estimated cost for each approach ....................................................... $2,000.00 2. Provide sidewalk connection to the seven (7) bus stops along Country Club Drive. City of A ventura Country Club Drive Pedestrian Study Revised December 12, 1996 Page J 2 Estimated cost for each sidewalk connection .........................................$200.00 3. Provide lighting along the walkway's approximate 12,500 ft. length. Estimated cost .................................................................................. $170,000.00 4. Repair and/or resurface pedestrian walkway for its entire 12,500 foot length. Estimated cost for overlaying entire 12,500' walkway .......... $48,000.00 Estimated cost for repair of cracked surfaces only ............. $18,000.00 5. Develop and install a signing plan to separate pedestrian and rollerbladers on the walkway such as depicted on Figure 13B; sign R9-7, and spaced every 600 feet. Estimated cost .................................................................................... $10,000.00 6. Provide five (5) additional crosswalks across Country Club Drive at the general locations detailed on Figure 8 and as designed (typical) on Figure 9A. Estimated cost for each crosswalk .......................................................$4,000.00 7. Upgrade existing pedestrian crosswalk at Tumberry Isle Club and Resort as depicted on Figure II. Estimated cost ..................................................................................... $2,500.00 8. Add pedestrian signal heads and pedestrian push buttons at the intersection of West Country Club Drive and A ventura Boulevard. Estimated cost ...................................................................... $20,000 - 50,000.00 9. Add pedestrian signal heads at the intersection of North Country Club Drive and N.E. 34 A venue. Estimated cost ...................................................................... $20,000 - 50,000.00 10. Provide improved signing and pedestrian push button crossings for the south intersection approach and walkway crossing as depicted on Figure 13A. Estimated cost ...................................................................................... $3,000.00 11. Improve catch basin swales at both north comers of the intersection of North Country Club Drive with NE 34 A venue that are within general sidewalk area. Estimated cost .......................................... $5,000.00 City ofAventum Country Club Drive Pedestrian Study Revised December 12. 1996 Page /3 12. Add sidewalk extension within southwest corner of West Country Club Drive and A ventura Boulevard (see Figure 12). Estimated cost ...................................................................................... $1,000.00 13. Where sidewalk is not relocated, provide clear sight triangles at sidewalk and walkway intersections by clearing/trimming landscaping and/or relocating signs and columns. Estimated cost ....................................................... (highly variable by location) 14. Consider design enhancement of pedestrian crosswalk/plaza as part of the City landscape program as depicted in one example on Figure 9 and Figure 10. Estimated cost ............................................... (highly variable based on design) The foregoing is an estimate of costs exclusive of engineering and design costs to provide an approximation of costs to upgrade the pedestrian circulation system along Country Club Drive. The addition of pedestrian signal heads and push buttons will require a detailed review of the signal plans and hardware to identify the degree to which it can be upgraded.
