Mayor Launches FREEBEE Express Park & Ride with Ribbon Cutting
|
|
Palmetto Bay Mayor Karyn Cunningham was flanked by Councilmember Matson, Vice-Mayor DuBois, Village Manager Ed Silva and county and state officials on Thursday at Palmetto Bay Park to inaugurate the new Freebee Express Park & Ride. The free, Monday-Friday shuttle program takes morning commuters from the park to the Dadeland South Metrorail Station, with returning service in the evenings. As the Mayor pointed out, Palmetto Bay is the only city given clearance to utilize the South Dade Transitway for this new program. Our existing Park & Ride at Holy Rosary-St. Richard's Church also utilizes the transitway.
Mayor Cunningham introduced those who assisted in this collaborative project, brought forth with support from Miami-Dade County, the Florida Department of Transportation and the Citizens' Independent Transit Trust.

Thanks to the stewardship of our Mayor & Council and our County Commissioner who continue to advocate for our residents, Malbrook residents will soon get some relief to their traffic situation. Mayor Cunningham and Village staff, along with Sean McCrackine and Maria Levrant from County Commissioner Levine Cava’s office met with representatives from Miami-Dade County Transportation and Public Works Department and Marlin Engineering, the Village’s traffic engineering firm, to discuss the traffic solutions proposed for the Malbrook neighborhood area.
The Malbrook neighborhood encompasses the area bordered by SW 87th Avenue to SW 84th Avenue and SW 168th Street to SW 181st Street. Morning rush hour commuters have substantially impacted the quality of life for these residents due to high volumes of cut-through traffic. Drivers looking to avoid SW 87th Avenue often use SW 84th Avenue or SW 86th Avenue as alternates. These neighborhood streets were not intended to be major arterial roads and the traffic situation is overwhelming for residents.
Previously, county staff had requested a traffic study to substantiate the request made by the Village. The results were discussed during a meeting this week and the outcome proved positive for Malbrook. The county reviewed the traffic study results in more detail, and on Wednesday provided written approval.
The solutions to drastically reduce cut-through traffic for Malbrook include:
• a dedicated right turn lane from SW 87th Avenue onto SW 168th Street
• permanent installation of “no-right turn” signs along SW 87th Avenue for eastbound traffic
• a traffic circle for the intersection of SW 174th Street and SW 87th Avenue*
*Palmetto Bay had previously requested a county review of the intersection at SW 174th Street and 87th Avenue, following several major accidents. The county found that a traffic circle at this location should drastically reduce the number of accidents at the intersection.
Once funded and built, the solutions proposed will provide relief to the Malbrook community by significantly reducing the current vehicular traffic that residents are forced to deal with on a daily basis. We are grateful for the collaboration and assistance provided to us by the Miami-Dade Transportation and Public Works Department and look forward to a favorable outcome for our residents.

The Village of Palmetto Bay was awarded a grant from the Miami-Dade Transportation Planning Organization to conduct a local area Strategic Miami Area Rapid Transit (SMART) Moves Study for the purpose of enhancing connectivity between the Village and the South Dade Transitway. The Plan will analyze existing Metrobus service, the Village iBus, and identify enhancements to the transit services. The focus is to improve accessibility, connectivity, mobility and safety for pedestrians, bicyclists and transit users through the placement of community-level mobility hubs with the Village’s roadway network. A mobility hub is the convergence of frequent transit, development with mixed uses, density and people to cater to the mass movement of people.
