Discuss whether there have been changes in circumstances that were not anticipated. Discuss whether these changes resulted in either problems or opportunities for the community. Identify actions, including plan amendments that are needed to address the issue. The City should continue to work closely with Miami-Dade Transit and investigate ways to make transit services more available and convenient for more residents and workers in the City. Measuring the modal split annually would work toward assessing transit ridership and corridor capacity. The 2000 Plan determined that there was sufficient roadway capacity within the City to serve existing and future growth. However, as mentioned earlier, due to changing demographics, intense redevelopment and overall regional traffic increase, the City may want to revaluate this issue further. A Transportation Needs Report should be performed, including origin/destination trips and identification of short and long term range vehicular, transit, pedestrian, and bicycle improvements. Other activities and actions that the City may want to include in the transportation needs report are travel forecasting on Collins Avenue and North Bay Road, evaluation of the transportation impacts of future redevelopment, including the potential impact on air quality. Setting forth specific targets on transit usage and marketing would also be useful in determining overall performance. Finally, in terms of parking location, inventory and management, the City should continue to analyze the changing market requirements and demand which may result in amendments to the Infrastructure Element and Transportation Element as well as land use controls. As mentioned earlier, the City is looking for potential sites to provide additional off-street parking for its residents and visitors.
