Please place on the July 20, 2022 agenda a referral to the Public Safety and Neighborhood Quality of Life Committee for the City Administration to provide the Committee an update and understanding as to the City’s policies, protocols, procedures, and ADA compliance concerning sidewalk safety for pedestrians, in particular for those persons requiring mobility aids and those who are blind or visually impaired, including during the course of construction, maintenance, and improvement projects that affect, obstruct, or alter the sidewalks within the City of Miami Beach.  

In addition, I would further request that the City Administration be prepared to provide the Committee with suggestions as to how the City potentially may further remediate or alleviate sidewalk safety issues, and the feasibility, cost(s), staffing, signage, or other issues with regard to addressing any sidewalk safety issues. 

Sidewalk safety for pedestrians was recently addressed in a joint resolution by the Miami Beach Human Rights Committee and the Miami Beach Disability Access Committee.

If you have any questions about this item, please contact my legislative aide Robert Novo lll at RobertNovo@miamibeachfl.gov
