DISCUSSION RE: INTERIOR RESIDENTIAL ROAD SPEED LIMITS
|
Presented
|
| |
REPORT:
Commissioner Steinberg initiated the discussion regarding speed limits on interior residential roads. She explained that her district contained areas where speed limits had been adjusted 10-20 years ago, but as demographics changed and areas became more urbanized, there were now situations where 20 miles per hour (mph) speed limits had been increased to 25 mph by the County. Commissioner Steinberg questioned the guidelines used to set speed limits and advocated for a policy discussion about giving municipalities flexibility to lower speed limits on interior residential roads without requiring Board of County Commissioners (Board) approval. She emphasized that interior residential roads, as opposed to collector roads or main arteries, should have the flexibility to accommodate 20 mph speed limits, particularly near schools or urbanized town centers.
Chairwoman Higgins referenced previous interlocal agreements that had allowed various municipalities to reduce speed limits without Board approval and opined that cities should have the ability to set speed limits on locally monitored streets. She suggested that municipalities should be able to set whatever speed limits they wanted on interior roads, as long as they served as the enforcement agency, noting the movement away from prioritizing vehicle movement to considering pedestrian safety.
Vice Chairwoman Regalado emphasized that speed limit rules could not be viewed in isolation and must consider all circumstances when attempting to increase safety and reduce cut-through traffic in residential neighborhoods. She noted that applications like Google Maps and Waze used speed limits in their algorithms to route drivers, suggesting that lowering speed limits could help eliminate cut-through traffic by making alternate routes more attractive. Vice Chairwoman Regalado emphasized that cities needed to review how they implemented traffic calming measures, including reduced speed limits, speed bumps, and roundabouts, in a coordinated manner rather than implementing them piecemeal based on individual requests.
Chairwoman Higgins cited concerns about lengthy study processes and reiterated her desire for immediate action. She proposed making an immediate motion to modify all interlocal agreements, allowing municipalities to reduce speed limits to 20 mph on interior roads without county approval, with the item proceeding to the next board meeting. Chairwoman Higgins encouraged Commissioner Steinberg to work on broader legislation for interior roads within UMSA as a separate but parallel effort.
Mr. Jimmy Morales interjected that while the administration encouraged interlocal agreements with all municipalities, most cities lacked such agreements, requiring an alternative approach.
Chairwoman Higgins modified her proposed motion to address cities both with and without interlocal agreements.
Commissioner Bermudez sought clarification on the scope and raised concerns about enforcement and potential overreach by some municipalities.
Commissioner Steinberg expressed appreciation for the direction but noted that her district included UMSA areas with similar speed limit concerns, requesting equitable treatment for those unincorporated residential areas.
In light of her colleagues� concerns, Chairwoman Higgins withdrew the motion and instead proposed dividing the work where she would draft legislation addressing municipalities while Commissioner Steinberg would handle UMSA-related legislation.
Commissioner Steinberg agreed to co-sponsor the municipal legislation and develop parallel UMSA provisions.
Commissioner Bermudez expressed support for the proposal and referenced legislation sponsored by former Commissioner Cabrera that was passed by the Board in April 2024. He noted this resolution directed the administration to investigate lowering speed limits to 25 mph on all County-maintained residential roads in UMSA areas and provide a report of findings. Commissioner Bermudez noted his concern that over a year had passed since the resolution was approved, but commissioners had never received the report.
Ms. Stacy Miller responded that the study had been completed and was sent to former Commissioner Cabrera's office.
In response to Vice Chairwoman Regalado�s inquiry about conducting another traffic study for 20 mph limits, Ms. Miller clarified that since the previous study only addressed 25 mph, a separate study would be required for 20 mph limits.
Mr. Jimmy Morales explained that while the administration encouraged interlocal agreements with all municipalities, most cities did not have them in place. He further clarified that when a commissioner requested a study, the administration provided a draft report to that specific commissioner first to ensure all concerns were addressed before distributing it to the full Commission. Mr. Morales also reminded the committee that State law required studies for speed limit modifications on interior residential roads in UMSA areas.
Commissioner Bastien suggested giving the administration time to work with Commissioner Steinberg and other commissioners whose districts included UMSA areas before moving forward
Commissioner Bermudez stated his intent to draft legislation that would require the administration to provide such reports to all commissioners, expressing concern about the current practice of reports potentially sitting in individual offices without broader distribution.

DISCUSSION ITEM REGARDING MIAMI FREEDOM PARK PEDESTRIAN BRIDGE
|
Presented
|
| |
REPORT:
Chairwoman Higgins requested an update from the Department of Transportation and Public Works (DTPW) on the Miami Freedom Park pedestrian bridge. She noted that the soccer stadium was under construction and the Board wanted to ensure safety for riders crossing from transit to the stadium. Chairwoman Higgins recalled attending various meetings, facilitating site visits, and collaborating with many partners.
Ms. Stacy Miller explained that the department had been working collaboratively with the developer, City of Miami, Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT), and Greater Miami Expressway Agency (GMX) to advance project components. She announced that there was an allocation in the current year's budget to build the bridge and that the developer was working through various items including determining the physical location of the structure.
Commissioner Bermudez questioned the cost of the bridge and whether the developer would be paying for it. He described the arrangement as appearing to be a subsidy, though he acknowledged the intent was to bring people from other areas to the stadium via Tri-Rail. Commissioner Bermudez expressed concerns about the construction of a soccer stadium within Miami city limits and the cost to the County for what he viewed as a privately owned entity.
Chairwoman Higgins responded that the developer had applied for and received $5 million in State funds for the soccer stadium construction. She explained that DTPW had reviewed traffic study analysis as part of the long-term plan, noting that the pedestrian bridge was a requirement of the soccer stadium construction. Chairwoman Higgins emphasized that the developer was required to ways to fund the project and resolve logistical issues with multiple agencies including GMX, FDOT, Florida Power and Light (FP&L), City of Miami, and the County.
City of Miami Attorney Iris Escarra explained that the pedestrian bridge was a multi-agency endeavor essential not only to the stadium but also to the City's administrative buildings and a new 58-acre city park. She noted that while the stadium served as the catalyst, it was the first project being built with a mandate to open in March 2026. Ms. Escarra described the complex coordination required across multiple jurisdictions and agencies, including crossing county roads, GMX property, FPL lines, and South Florida Water Management District land before landing on city property.
In response to Chairwoman Higgin�s request regarding the timeline, Ms. Escarra advised that the revised plans would be ready for review in approximately two (2) weeks.
Chairwoman Higgins stated that this was the first attempt to build a stadium near transit, and thanked Ms. Miller for coordinating communications between all the entities to resolve the multi-agency issues involved with the pedestrian bridge construction.

REPORT:
ACA Annery Pulgar Alfonso read the title of the foregoing proposed ordinance into the record.
Chairwoman Higgins opened the public hearing and the following person appeared before the committee in support of the item:
~ Mr. Jeff Bercow, 200 S. Biscayne Blvd., Miami, Florida, described the sub-zone as advancing the County's rapid transit zone (RTZ) program by ensuring appropriate development density consistent with comprehensive plan policies. He emphasized that the development would increase ridership on the transit system and generate tax revenue to support state and federal transit funding matches. Mr. Bercow noted his team's extensive collaboration with the commissioner's office and staff before requesting the committee's approval.
Seeing no one else appear wishing to speak, Chairwoman Higgins closed the public hearing.
Vice Chairwoman Regalado introduced the ordinance as the first City of Coral Gables property to join the RTZ program. She noted the collaborative process with city officials that distinguished this ordinance from previous RTZ items, emphasizing the balance achieved between municipal concerns and transit-oriented development objectives. Vice Chairwoman Regalado described the redevelopment opportunity presented by the outdated parking lot and outlined infrastructure enhancements for pedestrians and cyclists that would leverage the site's strategic location near the University of Miami and existing pedestrian bridge connections.
There being no further comments or questions, the Committee proceeded to vote on the foregoing ordinance as presented.
