2Process

The Design Process we have gone through on the South Miami Avenue Streetscape is coined the 5 D’s. This is a design process that guides our decision making in an inclusive, transparent, and defensible manner. This process includes fi ve phases of design:

• Desire – During this phase of the project, the main objecti ve is to understand the Client’s goals and develop an understanding of the Client’s expectati ons. This begins with listening and it is during this phase that we establish the avenues for communicati on so that we conti nue to listen throughout the project.

• Discovery – The discovery phase of the project is when we begin to understand the site and its context. During this phase, we collect background data, conduct a site analysis, and research design comparables. In additi on, we conduct stakeholders interviews and/or workshops to further understand how the site can best serve the users’ needs. Based on this informati on, we develop design principles that guide our decision making and provide a standard for measuring design eff ecti veness throughout the project.

• Design – Our process focuses our design eff orts aft er the Desire and Discovery phases are completed, and as a result, our design decisions are fully informed. It is during this phase that we put pen to paper and begin to fl ush out our ideas. In this case, we held a two-day design charrett e in Mary Brickell Village. We also met with the Client to refi ne these ideas collaborati vely and developed a soluti on based on consensus.

• Discussion – The Discussion phase of the project allows us to meet with the Client (and other stakeholders), compare the design to the established principles to measure design eff ecti veness, and solicit fi nal feedback.

• Documentati on – We use the Documentati on phase of the project to record the design soluti ons and recommendati ons made that have been throughout the process. This report is the fi nal documentati on of the process outlined above

The Design Process


D1DesireThe following is a summary of the Desires for the South Miami Avenue Streetscape design. These desires are a compilati on of discussion with the City staff , business owners and the Stakeholders.

1. Make South Miami Avenue the entertainment and retail heart of the Brickell District.

2. Update public infrastructure to compliment development.

3. Integrate streetscape design a. Bicycle and Pedestrian System Plan b. Wayfi nding System c. Streetscape Design Guidelines

4. Concept design and cost needed to move project forward with Miami-Dade County

4Process

During the project kick-off meeti ng, City Staff and a number of Stakeholders were asked to share with the Design Team their vision for South Miami Avenue. The following list records their answers and was a driving infl uence of the design.

1. Sidewalks; pedestrian safety2. Identi fi cati on of ROW line. This will require a survey, in excess of $100,000 but will

be accomplished for this eff ort by assembling available informati on and City/County improvements.

3. Conti nuity along corridor.4. City to commit to responsibility for project elements.5. Bike lanes or bike accommodati ons.6. Crosswalk improvements, parti cularly at Mary Brickell Village development.7. A pleasant walking and nice drive by environment.8. Street closure for events/festi vals via removable bollards.9. Conti nuity of materials and furnishings.10. Signage to direct visitors to parking and valet.11. Walkable sidewalks; too narrow in some areas and obstructi ons block the walk.12. Unifi ed hardscape materials; concrete is okay for sidewalks due to maintenance and variety of

private property materials. Decorati ve paving for crosswalks and intersecti on treatments.13. Sidewalk improvements onto adjacent properti es for greater width.14. Sharrows as opposed to bike lanes.15. ADA accommodati ons on sidewalks and intersecti ons.16. Traffi c calming.17. Keep “residenti al” character of the street. Area is used by residents in

evenings and on weekends.18. Uniform identi ty in district.19. Design to a hierarchy of users; Pedestrians then bicycles then cars.

D2Discovery

20. Lower design speed of street. Posted speed is 30 mph.21. Consider where rerouted traffi c goes during street closures.22. Street tree canopy/shade trees.23. Assigned personnel to “police” proper care of improvements; fund via property

owners.24. Identi fy maintenance acti viti es/needs which detract from the district; ie. peeling paint

and broken windows.25. CPTED.26. Improve lighti ng foot-candles; FPL system/service27. Green infrastructure.28. Focus toward LEED Neighborhood Developments.29. Site furnishing locati on; DDA is developing specifi cati ons in-house a. Bench b. Trash receptacles c. Bike racks d. Newspaper racks30. Moveable seati ng may be considered.31. LED street lights.32. Public Art elements in crosswalks, hardscape, etc.33. Connecti vity to; a. Transit b. Downtown mover c. Potenti al trolley d. Riverwalk34. 2-way street conversion; 8th Street to 12th Street35. Secti ons/segments of street should be designed to accommodate, or be fl exible

for, future conversion to two-way traffi c.36. Delete on-street parking between 8th Street and 12th Street37. Accommodate dogs.

Principles

As part of the Discovery Phase, a set of Design Principles were developed. These principles guide the decision making through the design process.

• Implement Miami 21 Transect 6• Pedestrian friendly• Bicycle friendly• Conti nuity of materials and uniform identi ty• Clearly defi ned public realm• Flexible vehicle circulati on directi on• Update public infrastructure• Shade• Maintenance friendly• Green• Consider cross-street connecti ons for pedestrians• Celebrate history and culture of area• Public art features June Workshop

Typical Street Secti on Concepts

D3Design

Typical Secti ons 24

A streetscape consists of a variety of components, that when combined properly create a dynamic engaging space. Understanding and providing space for the various components is essenti al in creati ng a successful street. These components consist of the pedestrian realm along the sidewalk, providing space for walking, talking and dining, as well as furnishings, lighti ng, landscape and street trees. On street parking, bicycle lanes, travel lanes, bus loading and unloading zones, all make-up the vehicular realm of the street. The two areas of the pedestrian realm and vehicular realm, and their associated materials and fi nishes should seamlessly fuse to create a thriving public space.

Streetscape Master Plan


Note: Right-of-Way width varies from 50’ - 55’. Detailed accomodati on of the varying width will be addressed in future study as survey informati on becomes available. In all cases, a minimum ADAAG sidewalk shall be present within the public Right-of-Way.

Typical Stormwater Planter Detail

Green Street Concept Structural Soil Detail

Descripti on

A stormwater planter is a small, contained vegetated area that collects and treats stormwater using bio-retenti on. These systems collect and fi lter stormwater through layers of mulch, soil, aggregate, and plant root systems, where pollutants such as bacteria, nitrogen, phosphorous, heavy metals, oil and grease are retained, degraded and absorbed. Treated stormwater is then infi ltrated into the ground as groundwater (infi ltrati on planter) or, if infi ltrati on is not appropriate, discharged into a traditi onal stormwater system (fl ow-through planter). Stormwater planters do not require a large amount of space and can add aestheti c appeal and wildlife habitat to city streets, parking lots, commercial and residenti al properti es. Nati ve grasses, shrubs and trees are typically used in stormwater planters.

The block in front of Mary Brickell Village is an opportunity to create an identi fi able core to South Miami Avenue. This concept provides a raised plaza in the center of the block to help slow vehicular traffi c and facilitate ease of taxi and valet drop-off s, as well as pedestrian crossing. Removable bollards are proposed at the ends of this block to allow it to be closed down for festi vals.

Pedestrian Loading Zones are important components in streetscapes as they minimize the disrupti on of vehicular circulati on caused by double-parking and off er pedestrians a safe environment during loading and unloading cycles. Typically located at the ends of street blocks, various opportuniti es exist along South Miami Avenue where parallel parking bays can be designated as Pedestrian Loading Zones. Important considerati ons include equitably distributi on throughout the street, accessibility for both north and south bound traffi c, markings, regulatory signage, and ADA accessibility.
