The Design Process The Design Process we have gone through on the South Miami Avenue Streetscape is coined the 5 D’s. This is a design process that guides our decision making in an inclusive, transparent, and defensible manner. This process includes five phases of design: • Desire – During this phase of the project, the main objective is to understand the Client’s goals and develop an understanding of the Client’s expectations. This begins with listening and it is during this phase that we establish the avenues for communication so that we continue to listen throughout the project. • Discovery – The discovery phase of the project is when we begin to understand the site and its context. During this phase, we collect background data, conduct a site analysis, and research design comparables. In addition, we conduct stakeholders interviews and/or workshops to further understand how the site can best serve the users’ needs. Based on this information, we develop design principles that guide our decision making and provide a standard for measuring design effectiveness throughout the project. • Design – Our process focuses our design efforts after the Desire and Discovery phases are completed, and as a result, our design decisions are fully informed. It is during this phase that we put pen to paper and begin to flush out our ideas. In this case, we held a two-day design charrette in Mary Brickell Village. We also met with the Client to refine these ideas collaboratively and developed a solution based on consensus. • Discussion – The Discussion phase of the project allows us to meet with the Client (and other stakeholders), compare the design to the established principles to measure design effectiveness, and solicit final feedback. • Documentation – We use the Documentation phase of the project to record the design solutions and recommendations made that have been throughout the process. This report is the final documentation of the process outlined above

D1 Desire The following is a summary of the Desires for the South Miami Avenue Streetscape design. These desires are a compilation of discussion with the City sta, business owners and the Stakeholders. 1. Make South Miami Avenue the entertainment and retail heart of the Brickell District. 2. Update public infrastructure to compliment development. 3. Integrate streetscape design a. Bicycle and Pedestrian System Plan b. Wayfinding System c. Streetscape Design Guidelines 4. Concept design and cost needed to move project forward with Miami-Dade County 3

Sidewalks; Identification of ROW line. This will require a survey, in excess of $100,000 but will be accomplished for this effort by assembling available information and City/County improvements. along corridor. City to commit to responsibility for project elements. . Bike lanes or Crosswalk improvements, particularly at Mary Brickell Village development. A pleasant walking and nice drive by environment. Street closure for via removable bollards. Continuity of materials and furnishings. Signage to direct visitors to parking and valet. ; too narrow in some areas and obstructions block the walk. Unified hardscape materials; concrete is okay for sidewalks due to maintenance and variety of private property materials. Decorative paving for crosswalks and intersection treatments. Sidewalk improvements onto adjacent properties for greater width. Sharrows as opposed to bike lanes. ADA accommodations on sidewalks and intersections. Traffic calming. Keep of the street. Area is used by residents in evenings and on weekends. Uniform identity in district. . Design to a hierarchy of users;

South Miami Avenue Streetscape Design
Streetscape Components: A Street Trees B Lighting C Furnishings D Materials and Finishes E Landscape Planters A streetscape consists of a variety of components, that when combined properly create a dynamic engaging space. Understanding and providing space for the various components is essential in creating a successful street. These components consist of the pedestrian realm along the sidewalk, providing space for walking, talking and dining, as well as furnishings, lighting, landscape and street trees. On street parking, bicycle lanes, travel lanes, bus loading and unloading zones, all make-up the vehicular realm of the street. The two areas of the pedestrian realm and vehicular realm, and their associated materials and finishes should seamlessly fuse to create a thriving public space.

Description A stormwater planter is a small, contained vegetated area that collects and treats stormwater using bio-retention. These systems collect and filter stormwater through layers of mulch, soil, aggregate, and plant root systems, where pollutants such as bacteria, nitrogen, phosphorous, heavy metals, oil and grease are retained, degraded and absorbed. Treated stormwater is then infiltrated into the ground as groundwater (infiltration planter) or, if infiltration is not appropriate, discharged into a traditional stormwater system (flow-through planter). Stormwater planters do not require a large amount of space and can add aesthetic appeal and wildlife habitat to city streets, parking lots, commercial and residential properties. Native grasses, shrubs and trees are typically used in stormwater planters.

South Gateway Concept
The block in front of Mary Brickell Village is an opportunity to create an identifiable core to South Miami Avenue. This concept provides a raised plaza in the center of the block to help slow vehicular traďŹƒc and facilitate ease of taxi and valet drop-os, as well as pedestrian crossing. Removable bollards are proposed at the ends of this block to allow it to be closed down for festivals.

Pedestrian Loading Zone
Pedestrian Loading Zones are important components in streetscapes as they minimize the disruption of vehicular circulation caused by double-parking and offer pedestrians a safe environment during loading and unloading cycles. Typically located at the ends of street blocks, various opportunities exist along South Miami Avenue where parallel parking bays can be designated as Pedestrian Loading Zones. Important considerations include equitably distribution throughout the street, accessibility for both north and south bound traffic, markings, regulatory signage, and ADA accessibility.
