Understanding our responsibility in the transit matter and transportation, we have recently created a workshop with the participation of some residents that have drawn near with the ideas of planning together what's corresponding to this matter. 

What’s our aim? To ease up the traffic inside of Doral and plan towards this great city that grows in an unstoppable way; to expand our transportation’s system security and trust; to preserve the quality of life in Doral; to be of support to the connectivity systems that demands the internal growth; to better off, preserve, and keep the transportation system by which we rely in and promote our economical growth understanding this service’s importance

Doral has become the main source of employment. 68,594 workers travel through our city daily. The workforce consists of 18,765, being that 15,000 of them drive through to get to their jobs location the rest work in the city, according to the US Census number 

From thence the overcrowding as for example in 41^st ST/NW 36^th S, NW 25^th ST, and 87^th Ave between NW 12^th ST and NW 36^th ST. Approximately around 100,000 people that transit through the city between workers and residents, that make their lives in the daily schedule, being a number that doubles out the quantity of the Doral residents.

As far as the lines of communication paths, it is important to explain that Doral relies with 204 road miles, some managed by the State of Florida, others by the county, the City and Private, meaning that we should team up concerning this service together with other jurisdictions. This system is constitutionalized by the Florida Turnpike (SR 821), the Palmetto Express way (SR 826), and the Dolphin Expressway (SR 836), these routes are near the Palmetto Metrorail Station, The City of Doral Trolley Service. In addition, the bike-paths and adjacent paths to the Miami International Airport

Our Plan: Bike-paths and pedestrians

We currently count with 8.8 completed miles (4.0 built miles and 4.3 shared miles with the side of the road, 0.5 miles in maintenance). It has also been planned 24.2 miles for the bike routes. We have previously mentioned the possibilities of installing a bike station.

In the matter of pedestrian transit, we want to place ourselves at the same level of the big cities. We continue working through an agenda  - and needs – the installation of the public transportation stops protection; we will build new sidewalks, and will give maintenance to those that require it, so the we will be able to guarantee the pedestrias safety.

Transportation

The vehicle is the conveyance of greater circulation (93.3% of workers use it); 8.4 share it to go to the workplace.

The public transportation use is relatively low in comparison to the national tendency, of the State and County. Regarding bike riding, walking and other mediums of mobilization 0.8 of the workers embrace this alternative. 

Our Plan

The project as far as the lines of communication, involve the development of new included accesses with the already existing ones. The following has been planned:

•  Integration and roadrunner study of the NW 36^th/ NW 41^st

•  Expansion of 109^th Avenue with NW 41 ST. Achieve the connection of these two important paths. ( Today the conversation with the property owners of the branch that concerns us, for their integration)

•  The enlargement of NW 9^th Avenue

•  The Construction of NW 104^th Avenue

•  The Extension of NW 117^th Ave

•  Studies in the matter of Security and intersections

•  Routes for the truck traffic

•  Compliment the streets and avenues services

•  Walk paths inside the city parks 

As far as the bike and pedestrians transit, we focus on:

       Pedestrian Level:

•      A better pedestrian service in the intersection (streaked pedestrian, stepping signals)

•      Compliance Rules of sidewalk use

•      Pedestrian isles

•      Sidewalk construction

•      Connections to the Miami International Mall

•      Crossing to the middle of the street

        Regarding the bike-paths

•       Signaling the Intersection

•       Completion of the bike path system

•       Positioning racks and cabinets for cyclists

•       Bike renting program

•       Resting areas in cyclists pathways

•       Miami International Mall Connections

•       Security programs  designed as far as bike transit 

Five important areas of development

•  Project One: Divided in five stages, the integration of NW 36^th/41 ST with 114^, 112, 107, 102, and 97 avenues. Amount to be invested: $ 5,126,200. Road corridor.   

•  Project Two: the South corridor of 87^th avenue with 36^th ST, 25^th ST and 12^th ST with 87^th avenue. Three stages for the amount of $4,361,500

•  Project Three: NW 107^th Avenue and its integration for a vial corridor towards the south with NW 33^rd St, NW 25th ST, and 12^th St. three stages for the total amount of: 3,508,000.

•  Project Four: NW 107^th Avenue and its integration towards the north with NW 74^th ST and 58^th ST. Amount to be invested: 2,653,700

•  Project Five: The road corridor towards NW 58^th ST. For the amount of $650,000 in four stages.

This workshop will also allow us to have a vision of what our residents need and towards where shall we direct our actions, with the purpose of offering a better quality of life.

We are aware that Doral keeps growing and we want to ensure that developments are carried out in an organized manner.
