Traffic analysis for N.E 199~h Street Crossing
This is an update of the several trrLffic analyses performed over ths last five ye~s
relanve to tr~fic flow in and around the City of Aventura, especially in the area of
U.S. 1 and 203td Street and the FEC railroad crossing at N.E 199s~ Smzet.
The imtial traffic study was done in 1996 and was eutitled Mainreuance of Traffic
Plan Mod!fications U.S. J and N.E. 203,a Street. It proposed modifications to the
interchange construction plans to open a temporary crossing of the r~lroad at
199d, Street. It projected traffic volumes to the Year 2000, which was consistent with
the original Environmental impact Statement done for thc interchange.
'Dm most current ~alysis is entitled Railroad Crossing at Biscayne Boulevard and
Avc~m{ra Boulevard Trqffic Study and was completed in Ap~l 2(}00. it evaluated
uraking the temporary crossing a permm~ent one. More ann'ent trafl2c counts (1998)
were collected along N.E. 199' Street at both U.S. 1 and at West D~xie Highway
reflecting the effects of the temporary, railroad crossing. These cOuntS were used to
update Year 2000 traffic projections.
Thc current proposal for the railroad crossing is to offer only the eastbound right turn.
not the fall eastbound movements. Therefore, I have reassigned updated Ye~ 2000
traflSe projections to the proposed eastbound lane configuration (:fight tums only)
The results at fire intersection analyses at U.S. 1 and 199m Street are as follows:
AM Peak
Without crossing LOS B v/c = 0.49
With full crossing LOS D v/c = 0.75
With partial crossing LOS C v/c = 0.63
PM Peak
Without crossing LOS C v/C = 0.78
With full crossing LOS D vic = 0.89
With partial crossing LOS C vic = 0.72
The Y/c ratm is a measure of the amount of the intersecnon capacity consmned.
Khl]ley-Horn
and Associates, Inc.
George Berlin, November 14, 2000, page 2
As you can see, lmntmg the eastbound movements to right tums largely mitigates ~e
decreases in level of serv/ce (and v/c ratio) with the ~11 crossing. Level of Service
C canbe ma/ntained with the partial crossing, whereas Level of Service D would be
experienced with the full crossing,
A conceptual plan of the partial crossing has been sent to you under separate cover.
It illustrates the modifications necessary for the crossing to be maintained, including:
· Addition of a northbound left tam lane on U.S. 1
, Lengthening the southbound fight tam lane from U.& 1
Additional lanes on West Dixie Highway
Signal modifications to signahze the eastbound movement

INTRODUCTION
The Florida Department of Transportation is currently completing the construction of an urban
interchange at the intersection of NE 20Yd Street and Biscayne Boulevard. As part of the
maintenance bf traffic plan for this interchange project, a temporary railroad crossing was
implemented ~t the intersection of Aventura Boulevard and Biscayne Boulevard. The subject
railroad crossi~ng extends Aventura Boulevard from Biscayne Boulevard, across the FEC railroad,
to Dixie Highway', as illustrated in Figure 1. The temporary railroad crossing includes a new traffic
signal at the intersection of Dixie Highway and Aventura Boulevard.
Miller ConsuL~ting, Inc. has been retained by Tm'nberry Associates to conduct a traffic study
associated with the new' railroad crossing at Aventura Boulevard. The purpose of this report is to
determine the traffic benefits, if any, created by permanently maintaining the Aventura Boulevard
railroad crossihg to the area transportation network.
The report is cL4vided in five (5) sections, as outlined below:

NE Biscayne Boulevard Traffic Study by Kimley-Hom and Associates, Inc.,
November 1995.
Maintenance of Traffic Plan Modifications - US 1 and NE 203rd Street, Aventura,
Florida, by Kimley-Horn and Associates, Inc., December 1996.
Traffic Operations Improvement Study - NE 203rd Street at Biscayne Boulevard and
West Dixie Highway' by Transport Analysis Professionals, March 1998.
Traffic Operations Improvement Study - Biscayne Boulevard and Miami Gardens
Drive Area by Transport Analysis Professionals, April 1998.
Intersection turning movement counts coilected as part of the above studies were reviewed for
purposes of th~s report. The locations and dates of these counts are summarized in Figure 2.
Additionally, Miller Consulting, Inc., in association with Crossroads Engineering Data, Inc.,
collected interkection turning movement counts at the intersections of Biscayne Boulevard/
Aventura Boulevard and Aventura Boulevard / Dixie Highway. The dates of these counts are also
summarized in Figure 2.
The lane geom*try and signal timing plans for the major signalized intersections located within the
study area wer~ obtained from the Kimley-Hom and Transport Analysis Professionals studies.

DEVELOPMENT OF TRAFFIC VOLUMES
As mentioned in the Data Collection section, Miller Consulting, Inc. obtained intersection turning
movement counts from previous traffic studies for all intersections located within the study area.
Using the available counts, a complete 1998 turning movement volume base was established for all
intersections (see Figure 3). This 1998 base intersection turning movement volume does not include
any effects from the railroad crossing connection between Biscayne Boulevard and Dixie Highway
on Aventura Boulevard.
Using the 1998 base intersection turning movement count in Figure 3 and applying an annual growth
rate of 0.94%, intersection turning movement counts were calculated for the year 2000 (see Figure
4). The year 2000 counts in Figure 4 neglect the impact of the Aventura Boulevard railroad crossing.
To properly evaluate the effects of the Aventura Boulevard railroad crossing, Miller Consulting, Inc.
collected intersection turning movement counts for the intersections of Aventura Boulevard at
Biscayne Boulevard and Dixie Highway with the connection in place. Using these counts and the
projected lane geometry, the year 2000 intersection turning movement volumes were adjusted and
redistributed to account for the effects of the railroad crossing on the other intersections within the
study area. The intersection turning movement adjustments for the railroad crossing are reflected in
Figure 5.

ANALYSIS
Intersection capacity / level of service analyses were performed for the mai or signalized intersections
located within the study area. A total of four (4) intersections were analyzed, as listed below:
NE 203rd Street and Dixie Highway
Biscayne Boulevard and Aventura Boulevard
Biscayne Boulevard and Miami Gardens Drive
Miami Gardens Drive and Dixie Highway
The intersection analyses were performed following the capacity / level of service procedures
outlined in the 1994 Highway Capacity Manual. Two scenarios were performed; one without the
Aventura Boulevard railroad crossing and one with the crossing. The results of these efforts are
documented in Table 1, below:

CONCLUSIONS
The proposed railroad crossing at the Aventura Boulevard intersection has to following benefits to
the area transportation network:
· Congestion is reduced at the intersection of US I and Miami Gardens Drive.
Congestion is reduced at the intersection of Miami Gardens Drive and Dixie
Highway.
With the addition of a fourth leg and fourth signal phase, which generally degrade
the operating characteristics of signalized intersections, the intersection of Aventura
Boulevard and US I is projected to operate adequately with the subject railroad
crossing in place.
No area intersection is degraded to an unacceptable level of service with the proposed
Aventura Boulevard railroad crossing.
In addition to the above, the intersection of NE 203rd Street and Biscayne Boulevard is projected to
process 300 less vehicles during the AM and PM peak hours (combined volumes), which will benefit
the overall operation of the urban interchange at this location. Furthermore, the proposed
interchange at NE 203rd Street and Biscayne Boulevard will restrict the following movement:
Northbound US 1 to westbound NE 203r~ Street to northbound Dixie Highway.
Vehicles that wish to execute the above maneuver are required to continue west to NE 26th Avenue,
then turn right on NE 26th Avenue followed by another right-turn movement at NE 204~h Street and
a left-turn at Dixie Highway. The proposed Aventura Boulevard railroad crossing would improve
access to Dixie Highway, via Aventura Boulevard. The additional travel mentioned above, as a
result of the interchange, is eliminated by the proposed railroad crossing.

Additional traffic analyses for N.E. 199th Street Crossing
4431 Embarcadero Drive
West Palm Beach~ Florida
33407 "
This memorandum presents additional traffic analyses of intersection of U.S. 1 and
N.E. 199th Street at the proposed FEC raikoad crossing. It is based on a
memorandum dated November 14, 2000 and focuses on the relative impacts from a
proposed shopping center west of the intersection.
The proposed 207,000 square feet sh?ping center is to be located west of West
Dixie Highway and south of N.E. 202 Street. Vehicular access would be directly
th nd
from West Dixie Highway at the N.E. 199 Street crossing and from N.E. 202
Street. Traffic volumes from the proposed shopping center have been assigned to the-.
updated Year 2000 traffic projections (see November 14, 2000 analysis) assuming
the proposed eastbound lane configuration (right tums only). The results of the
additional intersection analyses at U.S. 1 and N.E. 199th Street are as follows:
AM Peak
Without crossing LOS B v/c = 0.49
With full crossing LOS D v/c = 0.75
With partial crossing LOS C v/c = 0.63
With shopping center LOS C v/c = 0.64
PM Peak
Without crossing LOS C v/c = 0.78
With full crossing LOS D v/c = 0.89
With ptu~dal crossing LOS C v/c = 0.72
With shopping center LOS C v/c = 0.82
The impact from the shopping center does not change the level of service and has a
minimal increase in v/c ratio, which is a measure of the amount of the intersection
capacity consumed. If you have any questions, please call.

RE: City of Aventura, Florida
Comcast/AT&T Cable Television Franchise
Dear Mr. Soroka:
This is to provide an updated analysis and recommendation to the City for moving forward
with consideration of the pending application to transfer the Comcast Cable Television Franchise
to AT&T.
As you are aware, the two cable operators have taken the position that the 120 day automatic
transfer approval period will expire December 30, 2000, and absent action by the City prior to that
date, the transfer will be deemed approved. While we are not in agreement that the subject period
has commenced nor that it expires on December 30, 2000, the Fm recommends to the Cky to take
ac'lion prior to that date to avoid any subsequent dispute in regard to the City's fight.
Ba,ed upon statements contained in correspondence to me from AT&T, dated November 8,
2000, it would appear that (1) Comcast, the proposed transferor is not in compliance with it's
Franchise and (2) AT&T, the proposed Iransferee (a) has no plan to bring the Comcast franchise into
compliance and (b) will be in violation of both ire existing franchise and the transferred franchise
immediately upon the grant of approval of the requested transfer, abs~mt a separate agreement with
the City.
Thus, it is thc Firm's recommendation that any approval of thc transfer granted by the City
be conditioned upon AT&T submitting to the City a plan to attain and maintain compliance with all
franchise obligations. If prior m the November 28, 2000, the City does not receive either an

acceptable and enforceable compliance plan from AT&T or an extension of the automatic approval
period, it is the Firms' recommendation that the City move to deny thc transfer application. If you
are in agreement, I have drafted a violation notice to be reprinted on City letterhead and issued to
Comcast as well as a draft resolution denying the transfer. Separately, I have issued and anached
hereto a copy of my response to AT&T's correspondence to the Law Finn.
Please do not hesitate to call should you lmve any questions or wish to discuss th/s manet.

Notice of Franchise Violation and Demand for Compliance
Dear Ms. Stoddart:
Pursuant to Ordinance No. 97-20, as amended by No. 98-11 and Resolution No. 98-12 of
the City of Aventura, Florida, the City hereby notifies Comcast that it is in violation of the
terms and conditions of the Franchise granted pursuant to Resolution No. 98-12 including,
but not limited to, the provisions listed below:
NOTICE OF VIOLATION
Section 12: This Section of the Franchise states in relevant part "... the Franchisee's
cable system shall, at a minimum, (1) be able to pass frequencies of 750 MHz . . ."
Correspondence from Susan Bisno, Director of Public Policy, AT&T Broadband, dated
November 8, 2000, at ¶4 states "The current cable system, operated by Comcast, is built to
a capacity of 600 MHz..." Thus, it would appear that the Franchisee is in violation of this
Section.
Section 13(A): This Section states in relevant part . . . "Franchisee hereby agrees to
provide the City and its subscribers, during the term of this agreement, with a minimum,
comparable technology, products, services, and benefits which are provided by the
Franchisee to any other community, served from the same head end as the City, and within
six (6) months, any technology, products, services and benefits which are provided by the
Franchisee to the City and subscribers in Fort Lauderdale.' It is in the City's understanding
PHONE: 305-466-8910" FAX: 305-466-8919
November 16, 2000
Ms. Cindy Stoddart
Page Two
that Comcast currently provides services in Ft. Lauderdale not provided in Aventura. Thus,
Franchisee is in violation of this Section.
DEMAND FOR COMPLIANCE AND ENFORCEMENT
Pursuant to Section 34 of the Franchise Agreement, demand is hereby made that Comcast
correct the above-referenced violations or present facts and argument in refutation of the
alleged violations no later than thirty (30) days from the date hereof or the City may proceed
with the imposition of liquidated damages or such other remedies as provided in Section 34,
if it determines that such action is warranted.
NO WAIVER
Notice of the aforestated violations does not constitute a waiver of any other rights or
remedies with respect to enforcement of any terms and conditions of the Franchise granted
pursuant to Resolution 98-12 and the applicability of Ordinance No. 97-20 as amended by
Ordinance No. 98-11.
Further, this notice of violation is not intended to be all-inclusive with respect to the City's
determination of Comcast's compliance with all terms and conditions of its Franchise
Agreement. Accordingly, the City reserves the right to proceed with any and all available
rights and remedies and to enforce all terms and conditions of the City's Ordinance and
Franchise, whether or not such terms and conditions are the subject of this notice.
Your immediate attention to this matter is required.

1. Your letter at Paragraph 4 states that the Comcast system serving the Ciw of Aventura
has a capacity of 600 MHz. The Franchise agreement requires a minimum capacity of 750 MHz,
thus it is clear that Comcast is not in compliance with the Franchise Agreement.
2. Your letter at Paragraph 1 states that AT&T has no specific plans to change the
current operations of the cable system. Thus, it would appear neither Comcast nor AT&T has any
plan to bring the system into compliance with the 750 MHz capacity obligation. Furthermore, the
.statement that you have no plans to change the operation of the system raises the issue of AT&T's
mtant to comply with the obligations of the Franchisee to provide parity with the system serving Ft.
Lauderdale.
3. Your letter at Paragraphl states that a decision has not yet been made as to whether
or not the two systems will or will not be inter¢onnectcd. Bouh the AT&T and the Corneas[ franchise
include provisions whereby The City may re, quest interconneetion. Thus, your smtemem raises a

concern with respect to AT&T's intent to comply wifl~ any rcqu~s[ in this regard made by the City.
4. AT&T, as a franchisee of the CIE,,, agreed to provide service pursuant to a most
favored community provision, the responses in your letter of November 8, 2000 would appear to
indicate that it is not necessarily the company's intent to comply with this obligation. Thus, the City
will continue to require specific information in regard [o AI&T's plans for providing cable service
in the City of Aventura.
At this time, it is the City's intent to consider the pending application to transfer the cable
television franchise at the Workshop scheduled for November 28, 2000 at 9:00 a.m.
I will be out of the state W~dnesday, Thursday and'Friday of this week but will be available

RE: City of Aventura. Fl
Transfer of Cable Television Franehise
DearMs. Stoddart:
Pursuant to our telephone eon.t'erence of this date, please be advSsed that the Firm, on behalf
of the City of Aventura, 'has had the opporttmity to review the response fi-om Michael Woods, with
respect to certain aspects of the proposed transfer of the Comcast Television Franchise serving the
City of Aventura to AT&T. Notwithstanding informahoa contai~ne4 therein, at dfis time the City
continues to reqttim specific iaformatioa including but not limited to that listcd below:
A guarantee and date certain that thc two systems controlled by AT&T shall bc
interconnected.
A guarantee that subscribers within the City of the two system shall be offered the
same products, services, mad rates.
A gttarantee and agreement by AT&T th. at where cettain terms and conditions in tlxe
taro Franchises are different, that provision which represents the higher standard will
control tt~e company's obligations to subscribers and to the City.
Speci.fic information with respect to the system(s) serving the City including MHZ
capactty and plans for introducing products and sc-mdces, including but not limited
to lfigh speed internet access.
Upon receipt of an agreement setting forth the above, the City will be prepared to consider
~3 3~u ~4i,, L~I~O~IIZ ~S$OCIt,Eo 10,'ol¢00 16:~7 P.OO=,uuz
approval of the proposed transfer. Absent the required i,fformatioa the City stay have no choice but
to consider an initial denial of the request.
As you are aware, the City of Archi-ara currently has a Council meeting scheduled for
November 14, 2000. However, advertising timing requirements preelnde the grar~t o£an approval
at that meeting. The City does not currently have scheduled a Council meeting during the month
of December, however a meeting is scheduled for lanuary 2, 2001. Thus, ha order to allow aa
pat~ies to reach an agreement with respect to the proposed transfer I would recommend to you to
provide to the City an e~ensiou of the one hundred (120) day automatic approval period through
January 30, 2001.
Notwithstand/ng anything to the eontrmy, it remains the City's position that the one hundred
(120) day automatic approval period has not yet commertced. To the extent that it is
Comcast/AT&T's position that such period has conn'aenced and will expire on December 31, 2000,
absent an extension of such time period to Jamtary 30, 200l tlxe City wonld have no choice but to
consider a denial at the November 14, 2000 meeting. This situation could be avoided by an
extension mafil January 30, 200l.
Please call me to discuss this matter at your earliest convenience. I will be available this
afternoon and before noon on Thursday, unfotX-unately I am out of the office in meetings tomorrow
and Friday and out of town Monday and Tuesday.

RE: Request for Cable Franchise Transfer
Dear Mr. Soroka:
Please be advised that I am in receipt of a copy of your letter to Margaret A. Sofio dated
September 28, 2000, which was received by this office on September 29, 2000. In connection with your
letter, we must respectfully disagree that the FCC Form 394 that we submitted is incomplete.
Consequently, we do not agree that the 120-day review period specified in 47 C.F.R. § 76.502 has not
commenced. The initial FCC Form 394 included all information required to determine the qualifications of
Community Cable Television, a wholly-owned subsidiary of AT&T Corp., under federal and local
regulations. As you may be aware, in 1993, the FCC explained that "use of the Commissions' standardized
form in connection with the 120-day limitation will ensure that franchise authorities are provided with
sufficient information to evaluate and render prompt decisions." 8 FCCR 6828, 6840. The Commission
further stated that requests for additional information beyond the requirements of the local franchise do no
toll the 120-day limitation. We hope that we can conclude this process before the 120-day period expires
and that our conflicting views on this issue will not have to be formally resolved.
With respect to the requirements and questions posed in your letter, we will respond to each in the
manner set forth in the letter.
Information Required By Section 9 F of Ordinance No. 97-20
Your letter indicates that the City hereby requires AT&T to resubmit its application to include
"that information required by Section 9(0 of the Ordinance and Sections 30 (A)(3)(e) and (g) of the
Franchise." Section 9 (F) of the Ordinance, generally applies to the "application for the grant of an initial
Franchise .... "(Underline added.) However, Section 9 I. of the Ordinance does state that "an application
for approval of a transfer of a Franchise shall comply with the requirements of Section 9 (E and I) and
Section 24 hereof." Section 9 E. does not contain any provisions which apply to transfers and Section 9 I.
is set forth in its entirety above. Therefore, we have complied with Section 9 E. and I. of the Ordinance.
Compliance with Section 24 of the Ordinance (as required by Section 9 I.) is not applicable to
transfers. In fact, it appears that the requirement is to comply with Section 23 of the Ordinance (as
indicated in the Franchise Agreement). Section 23 B. of the Ordinance requires that an applicant for a
transfer meet the requirements of Section 9 hereof which has been done (see discussion above). It further
requires that "Except in the case of a pro forma transfer, the application shall provide, at a minimum, the
information required in subsections 9(F)(1) - (F)(5) and (F)(14) with respect to the proposed transferee.
The information required in subsections 9(F)(6) - (F)(13) shall also be provided whenever the proposed
transferee expects material changes to occur in those areas. The FCC Form 394 contained an attachment
~:~ Recycled Paper
addressing the information required by subsections 9(F)(1) - (F)(5). A copy is enclosed. The information
required by 9(F)(14) is not applicable because it has not been requested, in writing, by the City. Again, the
FCC Form 394 contained the information required by Section 9 (F)(I) - (5) and was therefore complete.
Information Required By Sections 30 A (3)(e) and (g) of the Franchise Agreement
The information required by Section 30 A(3)(e) was provided along with the FCC Form 394 and
is contained in the annual report. More specifically, pages 7, g, 9, 12 and 13 describe AT&T Broadband%
experience in operating cable systems. In addition, as an affiliate/subsidiary of AT&T, the City has had
experience with our Company due to the fact that it currently holds a franchise with the City of Aventura.
The City should be fully aware of our previous experience in operating cable systems. In addition, Exhibit
7 of the FCC Form 394 set forth the Company's experience in operating cable systems as well.
Section 30 A(3)(g) requires that the transferee submit a proposed plan of operation. However, as
indicated in our Additional Information Request submittod with the FCC Form 394, the information
required is not applicable because the proposed transferee will own and operate the existing cable system
currently owned by Comcast. Therefore, no time frame for construction is contemplated. Furthermore,
there are no plans to change the existing product, services or rates. We will notify the City of our
intentions and plans once a decision has been made in this regard.
Section I (7)
See response set forth above.
Part II (la)
As indicated in Section 2. of the Asset Exchange Agreement, the reason for "AT&T holding two
(2) franchises in the same City" is because AT&T and Comcast are exchanging certain cable systems. The
Comcast entity that is the holder of the franchise and the cable system assets in the City of Aventura is
being swapped for an AT&T cable system in another part &the country. In order for the transaction to be
completed as contemplated in the Asset Exchange Agreement the two franchises must be exchanged. The
"potential ramifications" of such a result are not readily evident to AT&T. However, this is not a situation
with which AT&T is unfamiliar. In fact, we currently have more than one franchise holder in Miami-Dade
County and the operations of each entity (ultimately, including Community Cable Television) will be as
consistent as possible in the South Florida market. At the present time, it is the intention of AT&T to have
the former Comcast system continue operations as it currently does. When a decision is made as to when
the two systems will be interconnected, we will notify the City of our intentions and plans.
Section II (2)
With respect to clarifying our response to this section, we are at a loss as to what needs
clarification. Exhibit 3 clearly indicates that we do not have any specific plans to change the operations of
the cable system as a consequence of the transaction. As indicated above, once a decision is made,
including the interconnection of the two systems, we will notify the City of our intentions and plans. With
regard to a statement of current compliance, we are unaware of any non-compliance issues between the
City and Comcast (as the franchise holder). We will request Comcast to supplement this response if it is
not accurate. Finally, we are unclear as to your request regarding the "applicability of the proposed
Transferee's (AT&T) pre-existing obligations pursuant to its Acceptance of the TCI TKR Franchise."
Please clarify what it is you are requesting.
Section II (4)
Upon the City's notification that the Commission is about to make its decision regarding the
request for transfer, we will provide an updated status report on whether or not the Transferee had any
interest in or connection with an application being dismissed or denied.
Section IV. Transferee's/Assignee's Technical Qualifications
As it pertains to a franchise transfer and a completed FCC Form 394, we are unaware of any
requirement in the FCC Form 394, Ordinance No. 97-20 or the Franchise Agreement to provide any
"affidavits from both Comcast and AT&T as to there compliance with the technical obligations required by
the Ordinance and their respective franchises." Therefore, this request does not affect the commencement
of the 120-day period for the City to act upon the FCC Form 394. Nevertheless, AT&T Broadband, to the
best of its knowledge and belief, is in substantial compliance with the technical requirements of Ordinance
No. 97-20 and its respective franchise. If the City is aware of any non-compliance matters, we would
request that they notify us as soon as possible.
Finally, please clarify the additional information requested as it pertains to "the AT&T system
currently operating in the City." What specifically is the City requesting? As indicated above, once we
have determined how the two systems will be interconnected, we will provide the City with our plans and
intentions. However, if them is additional information the City would like us to provide, please let us
know.
We hope this letter is responsive to the issues raised by your letter. As demonstrated above, the
FCC Form 394 submitted by AT&T and Comcast was complete as filed and the 120-day review period
specified in 47 C.F.R. §76.502 was properly commenced upon receipt by the City. If you have any
questions or would like to discuss this matter further, please do not hesitate to contact me. I can be roached
at (303) 858-3278. We look forward to working with you in the coming months in completing the transfer
of the franchise. Thank you.

AT&T Broadband, LLC

As per our discussion, attached please find a proposed Resolution approving the transfer of

provide to the City an extension of the 120 day automatic approval period, it would then be the
