COMMITTEE MEMORANDUM

TO: Neighborhood/Community Affairs Committee Members


FROM:
Jimmy L. Morales, City Manager


DATE: April 4, 2018


SUBJECT:DISCUSSION REGARDING A RESOLUTION OF THE MAYOR AND CITY COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF MIAMI BEACH, FLORIDA, APPROVING, IN CONCEPT, THE RECOMMENDATION FROM THE EMPLOYEE SUGGESTION PROGRAM TO PLACE WAYFINDING SIGNAGE ON THE BEACHWALK BETWEEN 6THAND 16TH STREET (SERPENTINE AREA) AND DIRECTING THE CITY MANAGER TO INVESTIGATE THE COST AND FEASIBILITY OF IMPLEMENTING SUCH SUGGESTIONS AND TO REPORT FINDINGS TO THE CITY COMMISSION

ANALYSIS:

The City of Miami Beach is currently installing wayfinding pavers in the beachwalk as part of the middle beach recreational corridor project.  Our plan is to continue looking for opportunities to make the beachwalk more user friendly and we have multiple options that would be available for a retrofit in the area of Lummus Park from 5-14th Streets.  Please see the attached documents for options that have been used in other locations.

 

Cost associated with the installation of these pavers would vary with the option selected but would likely be in the range of $10,000-$20,000 for 5th to 14th Streets.



CONCLUSION:
The following is presented to the members of the NCAC for discussion and further direction.
