    AGENDA ITEM SUMMARY FORM

    File ID: #4198

    Date: 05/23/2018 Requesting Department: Department of


    Resilience and Public Works
    Commission Meeting Date: 06/28/2018 Sponsored By:
    District Impacted: District 5
    Type: Resolution
    Subject: Eliminate Street Railroad Crossing - NE Miami Court

    Purpose of Item:

    A Resolution of the Miami City Commission authorizing the City Manager to eliminate
    the street railroad crossing at NE Miami Court between NE 71st Street and NE 73rd
    Street approximately 200 feet south of 73rd Street, Miami, FL.

    Background of Item:

    As part of proposed improvements for traffic circulation near the Miami Design District a
    new railroad crossing is being proposed at NE 42nd Street connecting NE 2nd Avenue
    to East Dixie Highway. Additionally the Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) in
    conjunction with Miami-Dade Department of Public Works are working on roadway,
    signalization and railroad crossing improvements at the NE 2nd Avenue/NE 36th
    Street/East Dixie Highway intersection. The Florida East Coast Railroad requires that
    for every new railroad crossing built, two must be eliminated. One crossing being that at
    NE Miami Court and the other crossing will be North and South bound along NE 2nd
    Avenue at the NE 36th Street crossing. On April 19, 2018 a public meeting was hosted
    by the Office of Capital Improvements at Athalie Range Park from 7:00pm to 8:00pm for
    the proposed closure at NE Miami Court. Seven residents attended the meeting and
    none voiced concerns in favor or against the roadway closure. Additionally, a study of
    the closure was conducted by a third party and determined that the impact of closing NE
    Miami Court under existing conditions to adjacent North/South bound roadways would
    operate at acceptable levels of service.
