RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING EXECUTION OF A JOINT PARTICIPATION AGREEMENT BETWEEN MIAMI-DADE COUNTY AND THE CITY OF MIAMI; ACCEPTING $1,000,000.00 FROM THE CITY TOWARD THE OVERALL PROJECT COST OF $2,064,661.00; ESTABLISHING THE TERMS FOR THE DESIGN AND CONSTRUCTION, BY THE COUNTY, OF A MICROMOBILITY/BICYCLE NETWORK WITHIN THE CITY; AND AUTHORIZING THE COUNTY MAYOR OR COUNTY MAYOR�S DESIGNEE TO EXERCISE ALL RIGHTS CONTAINED THEREIN

BODY
WHEREAS, the County�s adopted Complete Streets policy directs planners and engineers to promote the development of streets inclusive of all modes of transportation in accordance to the character and context of a particular area; and

WHEREAS, thanks to the robust transit coverage, new mobility options and the planned mixed development of urban areas within the City of Miami, there is a high demand for infrastructure to support personal mobility; and

WHEREAS, the County wishes to work collaboratively with the City to ensure the establishment and progressive construction of a safe micromobility network to promote safe alternative modes of transportation such as bicycling, and scooter riding; and

WHEREAS, the City has a dedicated funding source for the capital improvement of micromobility infrastructure within its Commission District 2 and wishes to grant this funding to the County for the progressive design and construction by the County of a micromobility network within the City; and

WHEREAS, both parties have concurred on a proposed network of roadways to be improved as described in Exhibit A of the Joint Participation Agreement, and which may be modified from time to time; hereafter refer to as the �Project,�

NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS OF MIAMI-DADE COUNTY, FLORIDA that this Board authorizes the County Mayor or County Mayor�s designee to execute a Joint Participation Agreement between Miami-Dade County and the City of Miami in substantially the form attached hereto; accepting funds in the amount of $1,000,000.00 from the City of Miami towards the overall project cost of $2,064,661.00 establishing the terms for design and construction of a micromobility/bicycle network within the City of Miami; and authorizing the County Mayor or County Mayor�s designee to exercise all rights contained therein.

HEADER
Date: To: Honorable Chairman Jose �Pepe� Diaz
and Members, Board of County Commissioners From: Daniella Levine Cava
Mayor

Subject: Authorization to Execute a Joint Participation Agreement (JPA) Between
Miami-Dade County and the City of Miami Accepting Funding from the City
and Establishing the Terms for the Design and Construction, by the County,
of a Separated Micromobility/Bicycle Network Within the City of Miami

STAFF RECOMMENDATION
Recommendation
It is recommended that the Board of County Commissioners (Board) approves this item in order to secure funding provided by the City of Miami (City) for the subject project and to support the objectives of the County�s Complete Streets and Vision Zero Programs.

Scope
The subject project has a current and direct impact on Miami-Dade County District 3, represented by Commissioner Keon Hardemon and District 5, represented by Commissioner Eileen Higgins.

Fiscal Impact/Funding Source
The estimated cost of the project is $2,064,661.00. The City of Miami through the subject JPA will contribute $1,000,000.00 from its Micromobility Fund. The remainder will be provided by the County through its District 2 Road Impact Fee (RIF) Fund. Funding is allocated from the current Fiscal Year.

Track Record/Monitor
The City of Miami is a key partner in the implementation of the County�s Complete Streets and Vision Zero Programs. The subject project will be monitored by the Strategic Planning Division of DTPW, through its Municipal Manager, Julian Guevara.

Delegated Authority
In accordance with Section 2-8.3 of the Miami-Dade Code related to identifying delegation of Board authority, there are no authorities beyond that specified in the resolution which includes authority for the Mayor and Mayor�s designee to execute the agreement and receive and expend these and any additional funds should they become available.

Background
It is the goal of the County to improve the safety of the most vulnerable modes of mobility, walking and cycling. It is also the goal of the County to ensure that bicyclists have an intuitive and connected route through Miami-Dade. The subject project aligns with the recommendations and analyses provided by the County�s Complete Streets and Vision Zero Programs as well as with the Transportation Planning Organization�s (TPO) Protected Bicycle Lanes Demonstration Plan and the City of Miami Bicycle Master Plan.

The subject JPA accepts funding for the design and construction of approximately three miles of separated/protected Micromobility lanes in Downtown Miami.

As part of the project, the Department of Transportation and Public Works (DTPW) will create a green lane for bicyclists and scooter users, relocate parking (where possible) and add concrete barriers to protect bicyclists, upgrade all pedestrian crossings and signage to high-emphasis, and add missing pedestrian ramps.

Roadways to be improved include:

N 5 St and N 6 St (from NE 2 Ave to I-95) � Under City jurisdiction
N Miami Ave and NE 1 Ave (from S 1 St to NE 11 Ter) � Under County jurisdiction

As a subsequent phase of this project, DTPW will be testing other separation devices within the buffered areas designed between traffic lanes and the micromobility lanes. Based on the outcomes of the future testing of separation devices, DTPW anticipates the future expansion of the project to other urban areas of the County. The project is currently under County procurement and is expected to begin construction within the first quarter of 2021.
The JPA includes a provision to amend the Agreement from time to time and accept additional funding in order to gradually build a safe network for bicyclists and micromobility users. Additional roadways may be added upon mutual consent of City and County through its City Manager or City Manager�s Designee, and County Mayor or County Mayor�s Designee, provided that funding source(s) remain unchanged and both City and County Boards have previously approved allocations to their respective capital budgets.
