School Roadway Safety Project
Starting Tuesday, September 20, 2022, eastbound traffic on SW 162 Street and SW 163 Street will be restricted between SW 82 Avenue and SW 80 Avenue (one block west of Southwood Middle School.)

The new requirements are designed not only to protect the safety of the children who walk along those streets on their way to school, but also to allow area residents to leave and enter their homes during peak traffic times. Historically, school children walk in between cars to get to school in the mornings and also after school dismissal. Restricting access on those roads will make it safer for students to walk those streets during the peak of school traffic.
Driving will be restricted during the mornings and afternoons on schools days. In the mornings, traffic will be restricted between the hours of 8:15 am to 9:15 am. In the afternoons, traffic will be restricted between the hours of 3:45 pm to 4:15 pm. Only eastbound traffic will be restricted. The roads will not be completely blocked off.

The new signs will be installed starting tomorrow, Sept. 20, and will be enforced by Palmetto Bay Police beginning Sept. 22.
Traffic Calming Coming To A Street Near You
We are excited to announce that our Public Services Department has begun the implementation of the recommended traffic calming initiatives identified in the Village's latest Traffic Calming study. The study, which was done by Marlin Engineering, a traffic engineering consultant, recommends various projects intended to ease congestion and also make neighborhood streets safer for area residents. Temporary speed tables will be installed at the following locations:

  1. SW 139 Terrace (SW 80 Avenue to SW 82 Avenue)
  2. SW 80 Avenue (SW 152 Street to SW 151 Street)
  3. SW 84 Avenue (SW 165 Terrace to SW 160 Street)
  4. SW 74 Place (SW 152 Street to SW 148 Street)
  5. SW 148 Street (SW 80 Avenue to SW 79 Court)
  6. SW 93 Place (SW 176 Street to SW 174 Street)
  7. SW 164 Street (SW 92 Avenue to SW 87 Avenue)
  8. SW 89 Court (SW 155 Street to SW 152 Street)

All roads will remain open while the work is taking place.

Other traffic-calming projects, which are also part of the Traffic Calming study, are currently in the planning stages and will include landscape medians, chicanes and raised intersections. More information will be provided as the projects are rolled out in the near future.

If you have questions about these or other street-related issues, call our Public Services Department at 305-969-5011. Also, remember to report any issues or concerns by downloading our Street-by-Street app.
