NORTH MIAMI

THE NORTH MIAMI MOBILITY HUB AND

TOD STRATEGIC PLAN

PROJECT BACKGROUNDER

Wednesday, April 18th

WHAT IS THIS PROJECT?

(a)North Miami Mobility Hub & TOD Strategic Plan

What is the Study Area for this plan?

The North Miami CRA and City of North Miami are planning for a more sustainable

future by encouraging multimodal mobility alternatives and supporting development

within its Downtown core. In January 2017, the CRA initiated planning for the

redevelopment of the areas surrounding 125th Street/ 123rd Street and FEC

Railroad Corridor. The plan will provide a framework for future mobility-

oriented development including recommendations for the character and

type of new development, open space, and mobility linkages connecting the

neighborhoods. The City’s overriding direction regarding transit and development is

contained in the City’s Comprehensive Plan which envisions a more sustainable and

livable city where more people walk, cycle and use transit.

The North Miami Mobility Hub & TOD Planning Area are strategically located

within the city limits, serving as a critical link between the Downtown CRA/ Central

Business District and Biscayne Boulevard (US 1). Refer Map. (Note: The study area

may be amended during the course of the study process)

What is the Planning Process & Timelines?

Who is preparing the plan?The North Miami CRA has retained an international consulting team led by IBI Group

to assist with development of the North Miami Mobility Hub & TOD Strategic Plan in

consultation with the community and stakeholders.

WHAT IS MOBILITY HUB AND TOD?

(b)

TOD

Mobility HubA Mobility Hub comprises of a well-designed transit station and its surrounding area

allowing for seamless integration of all modes of transportation with a high quality

user experience. It brings together an intensive concentration of work, live, shop

and play experiences that are comfortably accessible by foot, approximately

a half-mile radius or within a 10-minute walking distance. In addition, mobility hub

also serves as the origin, destination, or transfer point for a significant portion of

trips.

TOD is Transit-Oriented Development. A TOD is defined by the American Planning

Association as “a project or projects that is served by existing or planned transit

service. They are compact, moderate to higher density developments, of mixed-

use character, interconnected with other land uses, bicycle and pedestrian

friendly. TODs are designed to support transit services separately or combined:

heavy and light rail, fixed guide way, streetcar, or bus systems on dedicated facilities

and through available roadway connections”.

“All cities that I know have very good traffic departments and perfect statistics about cars. They know how many go east and how many go west. They know how many parking spots there are and how they’re used … Every time there is a planning process, the cars are very visible and somebody looks after them. I know of no city in the world that has a department

of pedestrians and public life.”

—Jan Gehl, ‘People-Powered Urban

Design’, New Urban News, July /

August 2005

ELEMENTS OF MOBILITY HUB AND TOD FOR STUDY AREA

(c)TransitThe study area is well served by transit. At present, the study area is served

by Miami-Dade Transit (MDT) bus routes and local shuttle service, NoMi

Express connecting to area destinations. In addition, the City through FDOT

funding recently embarked upon a Complete Streets design intervention for

125th Street that will help enhance the pedestrian and cycling infrastructure

in one of the city’s most traveled arterial roads. The city also recently signed

a contract with a LimeBike, a private dockless bicycle sharing program to

provide this service to North Miami residents.

The other planned transit initiatives, including the Tri-Rail Coastal Link and

the Strategic Miami Area Rapid Transit (SMART) Plan (Northeast Corridor)

emphasize the need to better connect the region’s urban centers with each

other through public transit systems

Oriented (Open Spaces and public places)125th Street/ 123rd Street is one of the primary connectors linking

Downtown North Miami/ Central Business District (CBD), home to the

City Hall, Museum of Contemporary Art and downtown businesses, to the

Biscayne Boulevard corridor which serves the Johnson & Wales University

campus and Florida International University campus.

The city’s main economic corridors- Biscayne Boulevard (US1), West Dixie

Highway, US 441 (NW 7th Avenue) and SR 924 (NW 119th Street) also serve

the purpose of bridging the first and last mile connectivity issues to the

future North Miami Mobility Hub and TOD planning area from the rest of the

city.

DevelopmentFrom a development standpoint, the 2036 Future Land Use Map (FLUM)

identifies a concentration of industrial areas between 143rd Street and

151st Street and properties along the FEC railroad between NE 121st Street

and NE 135th Street. Medium and High density residential/ mixed use

developments (from 25du/ acre to 100 du/acre) are proposed in the FLUM.
