We got the screen now. 337 00:29:05,910 --> 00:29:07,110 All right. 338 00:29:07,770 --> 00:29:08,070 All right. 339 00:29:08,070 --> 00:29:08,230 Go ahead. 340 00:29:08,670 --> 00:29:08,830 All right. 341 00:29:09,130 --> 00:29:11,650 So we're here today to present the Palmetto South 342 00:29:12,090 --> 00:29:15,270 project on the development of an environmental study, 343 00:29:15,770 --> 00:29:16,190 PD&E. 344 00:29:18,190 --> 00:29:23,690 The PD&E, the project is located in southwest Miami-Dade, 345 00:29:25,010 --> 00:29:31,150 along Palmetto Expressway from US 1 to Northwest 25th Street. 346 00:29:31,910 --> 00:29:32,450 Sorry, I forgot. 347 00:29:32,670 --> 00:29:33,750 My name is Raul Contell. 348 00:29:33,750 --> 00:29:36,490 I'm the FDOT priority manager for this PDN study. 349 00:29:37,530 --> 00:29:43,910 The total priority length is approximately 8.4 miles and it's all located within, on 350 00:29:43,910 --> 00:29:44,910 incorporating my American. 351 00:29:45,890 --> 00:29:46,390 Next slide. 352 00:29:50,090 --> 00:29:56,770 On this slide, we showcase the FDOT compass with the key focus areas that we focus on when 353 00:29:56,770 --> 00:29:58,150 for all our projects. 354 00:29:58,150 --> 00:29:59,470 these areas are 355 00:30:12,020 --> 00:30:20,040 This is a good example of a project that will meet all the focus areas on the compass. 356 00:30:20,500 --> 00:30:20,880 Next slide. 357 00:30:24,790 --> 00:30:31,630 The purpose and need for a PD&E provides a basis for considering developing 358 00:30:31,630 --> 00:30:35,690 in eliminating, evaluating alternatives for the PD&E. 359 00:30:36,350 --> 00:30:42,790 The purpose and need of this project is to accommodate travel demands for future travel 360 00:30:42,790 --> 00:30:49,010 demands and hands safety, improved system linkage, improved private mobility, and enhanced 361 00:30:49,010 --> 00:30:50,770 emergency response and evacuation. 362 00:30:52,090 --> 00:30:52,770 Next slide. 363 00:30:52,770 --> 00:30:53,710 The 364 00:30:56,200 --> 00:31:05,060 scope of this project is to, in general terms, is to add lanes who are going to be improving 365 00:31:05,060 --> 00:31:09,960 interchanges within the prior limits. We're going to be improving intersections. 366 00:31:11,180 --> 00:31:20,080 We're going to be evaluating the social, economic, physical and environmental impacts for the associated with improvements. 367 00:31:20,080 --> 00:31:25,820 all with the objectives of reaching a preferred alternative. 368 00:31:27,320 --> 00:31:32,660 We are evaluating traffic for years 2035 and 2055. 369 00:31:34,240 --> 00:31:39,960 The Palmetto's Pressway, as you see on the slide on the right side, the current condition 370 00:31:39,960 --> 00:31:45,440 of Palmetto, the one on top is from US-1 to stay road A-74. 371 00:31:46,880 --> 00:31:52,360 The Palmetto in the northbound direction has three lanes, general use lanes, and the southbound 372 00:31:52,360 --> 00:31:58,260 direction has two general use lanes with auxiliary lanes between interchanges. 373 00:31:59,240 --> 00:32:06,320 From stay road 874 to stay road 836, Palmetto has six lanes in ancient region. 374 00:32:07,160 --> 00:32:07,900 Next slide. 375 00:32:11,810 --> 00:32:16,030 On this slide, we were showing all the alternative that we evaluated. 376 00:32:16,030 --> 00:32:27,030 We also evaluated the no-build alternative and alternative two was eliminated from the study because it included H.O.V. lanes, which the programming is no longer entertaining. 377 00:32:28,770 --> 00:32:37,250 So for better understanding of the slide, we have divided the slide, the project in two segments. 378 00:32:37,930 --> 00:32:44,350 The one on the left will be from the U.S. want to stay road A-74, the one on the right 379 00:32:44,350 --> 00:32:48,910 will be from U.S. want from stay road A-74 to stay road A-26. 380 00:32:50,290 --> 00:32:58,190 The white arrows are general use lanes, the blue arrows are auxiliary lanes between interchanges, 381 00:32:58,190 --> 00:33:07,590 The brown arrows are on toll-managed lanes with separated by the lineators, and the green 382 00:33:07,590 --> 00:33:12,750 arrows are express lanes, toll- express lanes separated by the lineators. 383 00:33:13,610 --> 00:33:23,270 On alternative one, the one on top, the study proposed to add one general use lane throughout 384 00:33:23,270 --> 00:33:29,190 the entire limits of the project, from US-1 to State Route 836, and we are also, it also 385 00:33:29,190 --> 00:33:37,190 proposed adding auxiliary lanes between interchanges. On alternative three, the study proposed 386 00:33:37,190 --> 00:33:42,610 to add an on top managed lane throughout the entire length of the project, and auxiliary 387 00:33:42,610 --> 00:33:43,870 lanes between interchanges. 388 00:33:43,870 --> 00:33:54,270 Alternative 4 has one general use lane from US 1 to stay road 8.74 and one toll express 389 00:33:54,270 --> 00:34:01,570 lane from 8.74 to 8.36 and also it adds auxiliary lanes between interchanges. 390 00:34:02,350 --> 00:34:11,410 Alternative 4A was as a result of our public information meeting that we have back in November. 391 00:34:11,410 --> 00:34:32,370 We heard the public and we made some revisions to alternative 4 and we came up with alternative 4a, which adds one general use lane throughout the entire length of the project, plus we are adding one express lane from state road A74 to state road A36. 392 00:34:32,370 --> 00:34:36,050 This alternative 48 has been selected as a preferred alternative. 393 00:34:37,010 --> 00:34:37,370 Next slide. 394 00:34:41,700 --> 00:34:45,040 This is a schematic diagram for the preferred alternative. 395 00:34:46,020 --> 00:34:49,200 The lines in blue are the general use lanes that we're proposing. 396 00:34:49,600 --> 00:34:56,680 As you can see, we are adding a general use lane from US1 to stay road 836. 397 00:34:56,680 --> 00:35:05,860 The orange line is the new express lane from A74 to A36, and the yellow line is the existing 398 00:35:05,860 --> 00:35:09,120 express lane that's coming from the north. 399 00:35:10,480 --> 00:35:17,500 Access to express lanes in the northbound direction, you can access the express lane from 400 00:35:17,500 --> 00:35:25,660 from State Road A74, and you can exit the express lane to access State Road A36 Eastbound. 401 00:35:26,240 --> 00:35:30,480 We will build a new flyover that will connect to State Road A36. 402 00:35:31,200 --> 00:35:35,540 You can also continue on the existing express lanes to the north. 403 00:35:36,620 --> 00:35:42,220 And you could also exit the express lanes at that location to access the general use lanes. 404 00:35:42,220 --> 00:35:48,720 and we will also have an English point at that location where you can enter the 405 00:35:48,720 --> 00:35:53,180 express lane from any interchange to the south. In the south-bound direction, if you 406 00:35:53,180 --> 00:36:00,460 come in from the north, in the express lane already, you can exit at north-west 363 407 00:36:00,460 --> 00:36:05,600 to access any of the interchanges to the south, or you can continue on the 408 00:36:05,600 --> 00:36:09,160 press lanes and go directly to State Road A74. 409 00:36:10,760 --> 00:36:11,140 Next slide. 410 00:36:15,530 --> 00:36:21,410 The preferred tenant, if not only at Lane, it has a lot of additional benefits. 411 00:36:22,130 --> 00:36:29,970 We are enhancing the existing CD Road in the southbound direction from State Road A36 to 412 00:36:29,970 --> 00:36:30,590 A3. 413 00:36:31,870 --> 00:36:36,630 That CD Road currently has two lanes, so we're going to be widening to three lanes. 414 00:36:36,630 --> 00:36:44,810 We're going to be doing a major and minor interchange improvement, we're also doing intersection 415 00:36:44,810 --> 00:36:52,490 improvements, we're reducing travel times within the corridor, we are reducing crashes 416 00:36:52,490 --> 00:36:59,610 and improving safety, improving regional mobility, we are building a new drainage system, 417 00:36:59,830 --> 00:37:06,410 new lighting system, we're improving signals at the interchanges, we're building a new 418 00:37:06,410 --> 00:37:09,510 ITS system. Next slide. 419 00:37:13,370 --> 00:37:17,670 This is one of the the mayor interchain improvements that we're 420 00:37:17,670 --> 00:37:22,650 doing as part of the project. This is the very road interchanged. Norse is to the right. 421 00:37:24,030 --> 00:37:31,270 We're introducing an innovative concept of elevated U-turns to eliminate two left-turns, 422 00:37:31,310 --> 00:37:37,550 left-turn movements at this interchanged. How does it work? If you follow the red line, 423 00:37:37,550 --> 00:37:44,470 line, the red doter line, we coming from the south, if you want to go east on 424 00:37:44,470 --> 00:37:49,810 bird, you will do, you will exit the same way you do today, you exit on the 425 00:37:49,810 --> 00:37:54,610 other ramp and you will make it right up bird. If you want to go west, instead of 426 00:37:54,610 --> 00:37:59,530 making a left turn at the interchange, you will continue on the elevator ramp 427 00:37:59,530 --> 00:38:05,730 and you continue on the elevator you turn and get off on the on that off ramp on 428 00:38:05,730 --> 00:38:08,170 on the west side of Palmetto and make it right. 429 00:38:09,130 --> 00:38:12,690 That's, by doing that, we eliminated one left-term movement 430 00:38:13,450 --> 00:38:17,150 at this end of the change in the southbound direction. 431 00:38:17,730 --> 00:38:24,490 If you want to go west on bird, you will exit at the off-ramp, 432 00:38:24,810 --> 00:38:26,130 and you will make it right, a bird. 433 00:38:26,810 --> 00:38:30,110 Now, if you want to go east, you will continue on the elevator ramp, 434 00:38:30,630 --> 00:38:34,230 get on the elevator U-turn, and then on the off-ramp 435 00:38:34,230 --> 00:38:36,970 and make a right to go east. 436 00:38:39,290 --> 00:38:42,370 By eliminating these two left-term movements 437 00:38:42,730 --> 00:38:45,890 from this interchange, we have the opportunity 438 00:38:45,890 --> 00:38:49,710 to improve the operations by giving more green time 439 00:38:49,710 --> 00:38:51,230 to other movements. 440 00:38:52,290 --> 00:38:52,670 Next slide. 441 00:38:56,320 --> 00:39:00,500 The other major interchange that is being improved 442 00:39:00,500 --> 00:39:06,080 by this project is the State Road 836, 826. 443 00:39:07,360 --> 00:39:12,440 And this, the impacts of this improvement not only impacts the interchange itself, 444 00:39:12,660 --> 00:39:14,800 but the actual Palmeiro mainline. 445 00:39:15,600 --> 00:39:19,320 We're adding a new flyover ramp that connects the express lanes, 446 00:39:20,720 --> 00:39:24,580 the northbound express lanes to the eastbound State Road 836, 447 00:39:24,860 --> 00:39:26,260 as you can see on the red. 448 00:39:28,240 --> 00:39:35,520 By having this direct connection, which is a new flyover, we are removing a lot of traffic 449 00:39:35,520 --> 00:39:37,960 from the Palmeiro general use lanes. 450 00:39:38,580 --> 00:39:46,900 We are improving safety by reducing all the wind from the traffic going from A74 to A36 451 00:39:46,900 --> 00:39:50,440 that we've all those lanes along Palmeiro. 452 00:39:50,440 --> 00:39:58,120 So we're improving safety, especially between State Road A74 and State Road A36. 453 00:39:59,300 --> 00:39:59,880 Next slide. 454 00:40:03,310 --> 00:40:09,590 The status of the project, we are in the final stages of the PDNE phase. 455 00:40:10,370 --> 00:40:17,330 We have, we're going to have a public hearing on March 2nd, and we plan to get the final 456 00:40:17,330 --> 00:40:20,810 approval for the PDNE by June of 2026. 457 00:40:20,810 --> 00:40:31,030 The sign phrases scheduled to begin in 2027, right away, is partially funded and construction is currently on funded. 458 00:40:31,890 --> 00:40:35,090 The total cost of the project is $1.1 billion. 459 00:40:36,230 --> 00:40:38,990 With this, we'll include the presentations. 460 00:40:39,170 --> 00:40:41,870 We want to open up questions. 461 00:40:42,290 --> 00:40:48,770 Thank you for the presentation and I just want to say that we're close to losing quorum. 462 00:40:48,770 --> 00:40:53,770 We had two more members leave but on mine I just wanted to ask that and thank you for that 463 00:40:53,770 --> 00:40:55,850 Thank you for keeping us abreast of of this 464 00:40:55,850 --> 00:41:01,930 But if you if you can just continue coming back to us and and keeping us updated 465 00:41:02,710 --> 00:41:09,630 As the project moves forward, but specifically as to what the community feedback is right as a community in favor of this 466 00:41:09,630 --> 00:41:12,630 If it isn't that is the 467 00:41:13,570 --> 00:41:14,350 the new 468 00:41:14,350 --> 00:41:21,230 the new roads. We're going from no tolls to tolls so what is the kind of what is 469 00:41:21,230 --> 00:41:24,130 the community feedback on that? I think that's important for us to know as you 470 00:41:24,130 --> 00:41:29,130 guys move this forward. With that is there any other questions or unreadiness from 471 00:41:29,130 --> 00:41:36,150 my colleagues on this particular presentation? No? All right. Thank you very much. 472 00:41:36,370 --> 00:41:42,850 Thank you. And then our next presentation is from SFRTA on the Transit 473 00:41:42,850 --> 00:41:48,530 development plan, annual update, physical years 27 through 2036. 474 00:41:49,610 --> 00:41:50,930 Lorraine, come on up. 475 00:41:51,930 --> 00:41:53,070 Good afternoon. 476 00:41:54,330 --> 00:41:59,310 Lorraine Cargill, director of strategic planning with the South Florida Regional 477 00:41:59,310 --> 00:42:04,790 Transportation Authority, and we also operate the Tri-Rail commuter rail system. 478 00:42:05,650 --> 00:42:10,550 Our executive director, Mr. David Deck, couldn't be here today but he does send his regards. 479 00:42:11,450 --> 00:42:19,550 So this afternoon, I will present SFRTA's Transit Development Plan annual progress reports 480 00:42:19,790 --> 00:42:23,410 for fiscal years 2027 through 2036. 481 00:42:25,770 --> 00:42:31,850 I will speak briefly about the CDP process, highlight some of our funded and unfunded projects 482 00:42:31,850 --> 00:42:36,230 and conclude with our ongoing coordination with each of the MPOs. 483 00:42:36,890 --> 00:42:37,290 Next slide. 484 00:42:37,290 --> 00:42:45,870 So transit development plans are required by public transit agencies in the state of Florida. 485 00:42:47,550 --> 00:42:55,850 The plans typically cover a 10-year planning horizon with major updates completed every five years. 486 00:42:56,790 --> 00:43:00,230 And annual progress reports completed in the interim years. 487 00:43:02,310 --> 00:43:11,390 So, in early last year, as the FARTA did complete, it's major updates of its transit 488 00:43:11,390 --> 00:43:17,490 development plan and submitted that document to FDOT on the due date of March 1st. 489 00:43:17,490 --> 00:43:24,450 And so this annual report will also be submitted to FDOT on March 1st of 2026, next slide. 490 00:43:24,450 --> 00:43:25,470 So 491 00:43:27,490 --> 00:43:37,830 before I speak more about our capital projects, I just wanted to take a minute to highlight the Tri-Rail commuter rail service. 492 00:43:38,810 --> 00:43:43,090 We currently have 19 stations throughout the Tri-County area. 493 00:43:43,990 --> 00:43:54,150 Our 19th station was actually opened in January of 2024 at the MIME Central Station, where we are co-located with the Brightline system. 494 00:43:56,470 --> 00:44:07,750 In July of 2024, we began operating two limited-stop express trains into downtown Miami, 495 00:44:08,790 --> 00:44:15,750 one in the AM from our West Palm Beach station and the corresponding train in the PM 496 00:44:17,140 --> 00:44:24,510 back from Miami Central, back to our West Palm Beach station. So over the last year and a half, 497 00:44:24,510 --> 00:44:33,650 We have seen ridership on those express trains continue to grow as well as ridership on our service into downtown Miami from our 498 00:44:33,650 --> 00:44:43,990 metro station continue to grow. Next slide. And so with that growth I am happy to report that for fiscal year 2025 499 00:44:45,150 --> 00:44:59,810 The trial system experienced its highest ridership to date of about 4.5 million and we also closed the calendar year with our highest ridership to date as well of approximate. 500 00:45:00,000 --> 00:45:29,400 Approximately 4.5 million. And so, this chart here shows our three service. The dark blue is our main, main line service into the Miami airport station. The orange is our Miami Central Shuttle trains, which goes from our metro rail station into downtown Miami. And then our express service, as I mentioned, goes from our West Palm Beach station into downtown Miami. And that's just two trains per day. Next slide. 501 00:45:29,400 --> 00:45:30,500 So, 502 00:45:33,760 --> 00:45:39,720 this next slide just provides a list of our funded and unfunded capital projects 503 00:45:40,180 --> 00:45:41,500 over the next 10 years. 504 00:45:42,820 --> 00:45:49,640 As you can see, the purchase of new rolling stock is one of the agency's top priorities. 505 00:45:50,740 --> 00:45:57,960 In fact, we have allocated about 200 million, just over 200 million for new rolling stock. 506 00:45:57,960 --> 00:46:19,160 Thanks in part to approximately 72 million in federal grants that was awarded to the agency in 2023 and the over 44.5 million that is coming from our three MPOs and FDOT for capacity improvements. 507 00:46:20,760 --> 00:46:26,180 Unfortunately, due to our funding constraints there are a couple projects that we do have on hold. 508 00:46:26,980 --> 00:46:35,300 Notably our another layover and light maintenance facility, which is going to be located in Northern Palm Beach County as well as 509 00:46:35,300 --> 00:46:38,660 the rehabilitation of all our stations along the corridor. 510 00:46:39,200 --> 00:46:44,300 Those two projects are on hold until the agency knows more about its funding situation. 511 00:46:45,300 --> 00:46:47,620 Now I'll step in for Lorraine and do the political part. 512 00:46:47,860 --> 00:46:53,460 So as many of you know, I'm the vice chair, I'm the former chair of SFRTA, 513 00:46:53,460 --> 00:46:55,480 and we've really been working hard at Tri-Real. 514 00:46:55,580 --> 00:46:57,200 Lurena is part of an amazing team. 515 00:46:57,700 --> 00:46:59,780 The federal grant that she just told you about, 516 00:47:00,020 --> 00:47:02,820 we actually had staff working on it 517 00:47:02,820 --> 00:47:05,100 throughout the entire holiday season. 518 00:47:05,680 --> 00:47:08,240 So they didn't get to celebrate Christmas and New Year's, 519 00:47:08,280 --> 00:47:10,680 but they got the grant, and we're very excited about that. 520 00:47:11,320 --> 00:47:13,700 As many of you know, last year in Tallahassee, 521 00:47:14,720 --> 00:47:16,460 SFRTA's funding was eliminated. 522 00:47:17,020 --> 00:47:19,000 I've been working with F-DOT, 523 00:47:19,320 --> 00:47:22,900 and we do have it in this year's budget. 524 00:47:22,900 --> 00:47:31,060 So, the governor did put it in his proposed budget, and we're very thankful for that, but we have been working with F-DOT for a long-term plan. 525 00:47:31,380 --> 00:47:36,640 That has not stopped us from investing in the rolling stock, from applying for more grant funding. 526 00:47:37,180 --> 00:47:45,560 And as Commissioner Hartiman knows, for planning a new station and little river that we're very excited about at no cost to SFRTA. 527 00:47:45,560 --> 00:48:12,780 We have been very responsive about F-DOT's concerns that they no longer want to pay for maintenance on anything, it's not just trains, and we've been working through that with them, and really we want to bring in a new mindset in terms of the stations and the uses of the stations, and that's what we've been dealing with with F-DOT, and I hope that we'll be presenting that in the next two months, we're wrapping that up, but we really need your support in the governor's allocation. 528 00:48:12,780 --> 00:48:15,620 We have been working with the Coastal link. 529 00:48:15,620 --> 00:48:21,160 We are a partner with Brightline on that, but FOT has been very clear that there will 530 00:48:21,160 --> 00:48:26,020 be no discussion about the Coastal link until the SFRTA funding issue is resolved. 531 00:48:26,440 --> 00:48:30,980 We've also created subcommittees with all of our counties, including Miami-Dade County, 532 00:48:31,400 --> 00:48:33,800 and now staff is embedded in those committees. 533 00:48:33,800 --> 00:48:41,800 We meet with them monthly, talking about everything from the timing of our trains to our 534 00:48:41,800 --> 00:48:45,420 our positive train management and that has been very fruitful. 535 00:48:45,600 --> 00:48:52,140 We've also been meeting with the counties to increase their contribution to SFRTA that's 536 00:48:52,140 --> 00:48:57,380 been one of FDOT's requirements that we look at the statutory and that the counties contribute 537 00:48:57,380 --> 00:48:57,760 more. 538 00:48:58,240 --> 00:49:02,200 And we're looking at doing part of that with changes to zoning. 539 00:49:02,700 --> 00:49:05,240 Miami-Dade County has changes zoning around the stations. 540 00:49:05,580 --> 00:49:09,880 We're asking our Broward and Palm Beach partners to do the same. 541 00:49:09,880 --> 00:49:12,500 and we are currently working on a TOD 542 00:49:12,500 --> 00:49:14,900 and plan to move forward other TODs. 543 00:49:15,320 --> 00:49:17,200 So happy to take all of your questions. 544 00:49:17,200 --> 00:49:18,820 We're really excited about the ridership 545 00:49:18,820 --> 00:49:21,880 and we appreciate your support of SFRTA. 546 00:49:23,140 --> 00:49:23,920 Thank you. 547 00:49:24,860 --> 00:49:29,380 Is there any questions for either presenter? 548 00:49:32,200 --> 00:49:33,140 Any questions? 549 00:49:33,280 --> 00:49:33,980 I love our trains. 550 00:49:35,280 --> 00:49:37,920 We're a lot of do on right after. 551 00:49:38,140 --> 00:49:38,660 Any questions? 552 00:49:38,660 --> 00:49:43,980 Are you asking if you're completing the presentation? 553 00:49:44,680 --> 00:49:45,560 Yeah, we're done. 554 00:49:45,980 --> 00:49:49,440 I mean, the only thing that's left is we have been working on a one ticket ride. 555 00:49:50,180 --> 00:49:53,660 So for those of you who have been following that, that has been rolled out as a pilot. 556 00:49:54,360 --> 00:49:57,980 And one of the things that we're doing at our meeting on Friday is we're going to be adding debit cards, 557 00:49:57,980 --> 00:50:01,820 so that you can pay with debit cards for use of tri-rail. 558 00:50:01,980 --> 00:50:06,540 So you'll be able to use the same ticket throughout all three transit systems in the tri-county area. 559 00:50:07,140 --> 00:50:07,720 Thank you. 560 00:50:09,260 --> 00:50:13,240 Mayor Lago, I know you had one of the mixing comments on 6P2? 561 00:50:13,780 --> 00:50:15,960 Yes, Mr. Vice Chair, thank you very much. 562 00:50:16,200 --> 00:50:19,000 It's just a personal point of privilege, and I also know that Chairman left. 563 00:50:19,700 --> 00:50:22,640 He was just so quick, he's like silver surfer, you know, very efficient. 564 00:50:23,120 --> 00:50:24,340 With the agenda, I'm a lot slower. 565 00:50:24,960 --> 00:50:27,340 It's been a long day, so I apologize for bringing this back up. 566 00:50:27,440 --> 00:50:29,320 But I, first and foremost, I want to commend the Vice Chair. 567 00:50:29,600 --> 00:50:34,100 And I have just a few points, not a concern, because I want to be a co-sponsor in 6P2. 568 00:50:34,840 --> 00:50:41,460 A portion of this area obviously runs and bifurcates a city of coagabals and we're very proud that you have brought this forward and I commend you for that. 569 00:50:42,080 --> 00:50:47,400 I just want to put some items on the records that we can work on them together and hopefully and find solutions because I think they're going to be issues. 570 00:50:48,060 --> 00:51:01,820 Having a little bit of a construction background, I foresee issues like the turning lanes, if we're going to really install landscape and lush landscape and we're going to put in mediums, I think it may affect businesses if we have to address the issues with the turning lanes. 571 00:51:01,820 --> 00:51:04,660 that may be a conflict, so let's try to find solutions for that. 572 00:51:05,300 --> 00:51:08,300 I think the medians in regards to landscaping 573 00:51:08,300 --> 00:51:09,320 is a beautiful solution. 574 00:51:09,460 --> 00:51:10,560 We've seen it in the city of Coral Gables, 575 00:51:10,580 --> 00:51:12,700 we're currently doing it right now up to A Street on Ponds, 576 00:51:13,260 --> 00:51:14,800 but we may have some conflicts on that front. 577 00:51:14,860 --> 00:51:16,640 And the last thing I want to do on both sides of the aisle, 578 00:51:16,780 --> 00:51:18,820 both the city of Miami and the city of Coral Gables 579 00:51:18,820 --> 00:51:21,520 is affect businesses at this present moment. 580 00:51:22,060 --> 00:51:23,600 I also want to remind everyone, 581 00:51:23,600 --> 00:51:24,720 I know that Commissioner Regalalal 582 00:51:24,720 --> 00:51:26,640 is always advocating on behalf of ADA issues. 583 00:51:27,420 --> 00:51:30,200 Our sidewalks are five and six feet in this area. 584 00:51:30,200 --> 00:51:37,900 So, by the ADA code, we're going to have a tough go at it, squeezing and landscaping in 585 00:51:37,900 --> 00:51:38,340 these areas. 586 00:51:38,640 --> 00:51:42,600 So, we're going to have to be very creative to find real solutions that I think bring 587 00:51:42,600 --> 00:51:47,340 that lusciousness and that beauty that that area is in dire need of, in dire need of, but 588 00:51:47,340 --> 00:51:49,180 we also have to obviously follow the ADA code. 589 00:51:50,440 --> 00:51:53,840 And also the final issue is just a pet peeve of coal gavels, if I may. 590 00:51:54,320 --> 00:51:57,200 You know that we always think it to the highest standard as possible. 591 00:51:57,200 --> 00:52:02,480 And I know that FDOT may only provide a certain amount in regards to landscaping, and 592 00:52:02,480 --> 00:52:07,000 they may have some sort of requirements because certain trees may do better under certain 593 00:52:07,000 --> 00:52:08,360 maintenance situations. 594 00:52:08,900 --> 00:52:14,660 I hope that in areas where, for example, Commissioner Partle in the City of Miami, West Miami, 595 00:52:15,220 --> 00:52:19,040 City of Cork Ables, that we may be consulted in regards to the landscaping that's being proposed 596 00:52:19,040 --> 00:52:19,280 there. 597 00:52:19,460 --> 00:52:24,020 We're looking to minimize water, to minimize electricity, so we're looking for a lot more 598 00:52:24,020 --> 00:52:27,920 native plants, and I think it's an opportunity that everyone in this board is really looking 599 00:52:27,920 --> 00:52:29,620 to effectuate as much change as possible. 600 00:52:29,940 --> 00:52:34,760 But in closing, I want to commend you for going out and really pushing forward this initiative 601 00:52:34,760 --> 00:52:39,060 along with all the co-sponsors and today's and on everything on today's agenda, so thank 602 00:52:39,060 --> 00:52:39,540 you very much. 603 00:52:39,860 --> 00:52:40,140 Thank you. 604 00:52:40,340 --> 00:52:43,580 And we made sure to put in there, can we add Mayor Lago's co-sponsor on that item? 605 00:52:44,760 --> 00:52:48,260 Make sure to put in there on collaboration with the better municipalities because I know 606 00:52:48,260 --> 00:52:53,360 every city is going to have best practices and also issues that are burdened to their businesses. 607 00:53:01,070 --> 00:53:09,790 Thank you so much, Vice Chair, and first of all, I want to thank our Executive Director and the Chairman and Vice Chairman for allowing our students to participate in these events. 608 00:53:10,110 --> 00:53:19,130 These are very important opportunities for our students to be given the chance to be here, but not just that, but to actually think through these issues and problems I have. 609 00:53:19,130 --> 00:53:25,010 With that in mind, I wanted to bring up something I know in our past meeting, we talked about school speed zones and the important to them. 610 00:53:25,470 --> 00:53:35,210 Unfortunately, on December 19th, we had another student in Miami-Dade County be run over by a vehicle at Carroll City Middle School and unfortunately lost this life through the holidays. 611 00:53:35,910 --> 00:53:46,930 So I just want to continue to bring that to light to this board that we're losing children here in our own burial county due to distracted drivers due to speeding and 612 00:53:46,930 --> 00:53:52,870 other issues, this student did cross in an error where there was no crosswalk, but it was still in a school zone. 613 00:53:53,990 --> 00:53:56,550 And unfortunately, we lost another life. 614 00:53:56,950 --> 00:54:02,170 So I look forward to continue the working with this board in finding ways to create these safe routes. 615 00:54:02,370 --> 00:54:06,130 And also to protect our students when they're leaving school and crossing streets so 616 00:54:06,130 --> 00:54:07,550 that they can safely get to and from school. 617 00:54:07,850 --> 00:54:08,170 Thank you. 618 00:54:09,490 --> 00:54:10,150 Thank you. 619 00:54:10,530 --> 00:54:12,470 Is there anyone else which you speak? 620 00:54:12,790 --> 00:54:14,810 I think we've completed everything in the agenda, correct? 621 00:54:18,000 --> 00:54:21,160 Yes, Mr. Vice Chairman, it's just board reports. 622 00:54:21,320 --> 00:54:26,960 I would just like to highlight that the 2025 annual report is in your agenda. 623 00:54:27,560 --> 00:54:31,260 So it's the first time we're getting it to you in January, right after it's usually 624 00:54:31,260 --> 00:54:34,360 a quarter, but I got it out there for you right away. 625 00:54:34,480 --> 00:54:40,080 And also the state has brought back the weekend institute for anyone that might like to sign 626 00:54:40,080 --> 00:54:41,420 up for training with the state. 627 00:54:41,640 --> 00:54:42,420 Please let us know. 628 00:54:42,420 --> 00:54:49,000 And lastly, the Regional Safe Roads Summit, which we do as a county is in Broward. 629 00:54:49,240 --> 00:54:52,400 If you would like to go, please let us know and we will register you. 630 00:54:53,120 --> 00:54:54,200 That is everything. 631 00:54:54,380 --> 00:54:56,660 Thank you. Is there any more presentations you can put on the screen now? 632 00:54:56,920 --> 00:54:59,000 Or okay, can I get a motion to adjourn? 633 00:54:59,100 --> 00:54:59,420 Motion. 634 00:54:59,420 --> 00:55:00,500 What's being dangerous?
