COMMISSION MEMORANDUM

TO:Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Commission 
FROM:Commissioner Ricky Arriola 
DATE:February  13, 2019
 



SUBJECT:REFERRAL TO THE BUDGET ADVISORY COMMITTEE TO DISCUSS ADDING TROLLEYS TO THE SOUTH BEACH LOCAL ROUTE TO REDUCE HEADWAYS.

ANALYSIS

I attended the South of Fifth Neighborhood Association's monthly meeting on Wednesday, January 30th. The association's board passed a resolution asking the City of Miami Beach to reduce the South Beach Local's headways from 20 minutes to 15 minutes to be equal to that of other routes across the City. One of the ways to achieve shorter headways is to add more trolleys to the operation of the South Beach Local. I ask the Budget Advisory Committee to examine the impact of adding one or more trolleys to service the South Beach Local route.
