Title

A Resolution of the Coral Gables Transportation Advisory Board requesting that the City Commission direct City Staff to assess and take necessary action to address the missing sidewalk segments of the circuit between Riviera Drive and  Granada Boulevard, South of Hardee Road, as well as other areas in the City and provide a report on how it will be addressed.

Body

At the April 20th Transportation Advisory Board meeting, Mr. Kevin Moure presented a comprehensive summary of the missing sidewalk segments of the sidewalk circuit between Riviera Drive and Granada Boulevard south of Hardee Road. The missing segments are part of a pedestrian and bicycle route that is used frequently by families and elderly people in the area.

 

Completing the circuit would decrease the safety risks to pedestrians and cyclists, prevent vehicular traffic interruptions due street crossings and encourage more active living and active transportation. The Transportation Advisory Board believes that this small project of narrow scope highlights safety concerns and should serve as demonstration project for the City to use and further investigate other segments where sidewalks are missing and need to be constructed.
