MOBILITY PLAN 49 we CHAPTER MOBILITY MATTERS INTRODUCTION OUR COMMUNITY EXISTING CONDITIONS ASSESSMENT 0 rddmwh� FF, LITY MATTERS INTRODUCTION The City of Dania Beach was incorporated under the laws of the State of Florida in 1904. It is the oldest incorporated City in Broward County. The City of Dania Beach is located on the coast of southeastern Broward County. It is also one of South Florida's best connected municipality because of the existing roadway network, Fort Lauderdale -Hollywood International Airport, Port Everglades, and the two railroad lines, Florida East Coast (FEC) Railway and CSX. The City has recently annexed several large areas and doubled its area to over b square miles, and increased its population to more than 30,00o people, from 13,700 persons in 1995. The community is primarily residential, with small concentrations of light industry, shopping, offices and some beachfront property within the municipal limits. A small industrial sector was added in the most recent annexation, but none of the industries would be considered "intensive." Most of the annexed area is served with water and sewer by Broward County, but the City inherited responsibilities for stormwater, road maintenance, parks and other services in the annexed area. The purpose of the City of Dania Beach Mobility Study is to evaluate transportation conditions and define improvements and programs that will manage traffic congestion, improve safety, encourage alternate modes of transportation, and support the City's related plans, programs, and policies. The implementation of the capital improvement program for multimodal transportation solutions will provide residents, businesses, and visitors with a full range of options for safe and improved mobility. Create an efficient, usable, multimodal transportation system that supports economic vitality, decreases traffic congestion, and creates vibrant urban and neighborhood environments. 2Z7 OUR COMMUNITY RACE/ETHNICITY • 1% 3% White Hispanic Black Asian Other or Latino MODE OF TRAVEL TO WORK 1.4% ( 0.2 % Motorcycle 0.5% ) ( 0.3% Taxicab 1.3% ( 0.6% Bicycle 4.0% ) ( 5.29/.

A review of available Geographic Information Systems (GIS) from the Broward County Environmentally Sensitive Lands (ESL) database was conducted in order to identify ESL -designated sites within the City of Dania Beach. Ten (1o) ESL sites were identified, covering approximately 214 acres of land, as shown in Figure 6. 22 Environmentally Sensitive Lands Environmentally Sensitive Lands Figure b. Environmentally Sensitive Lands SEA LEVEL RISE VULNERABILITY A desktop review of available sea level rise projections and mapping for Southeast Florida was conducted. Regional guidance for sea level rise projections through 21oo has been consolidated by the Southeast Florida Regional Climate Change Compact (Unified Sea Level Rise Projection for Southeast Florida, 2015). The Unified Sea Level Rise Projection (USLRP) for the region is shown below in Figure 7.

Unified Sea Level Rise Projection 24 Guidance from the USLPP states the blue shaded portion of the projection can be applied to most infrastructure projects, especially those with a design life expectancy of less than 5o years. The USLPP also notes projections beyond 206o have a significant range of variation due to uncertainty in future greenhouse gas emissions, incomplete understanding of all processes affecting the rate of sea level rise, and current limitations of climate models to predict the future. The USLPP identifies a range of 14" to 26" of sea level rise by the year 2060. The selection of 24" of sea level rise was used for comparison with existing roadways. Two feet of sea level rise falls conservatively within the blue shaded portion of Figure 7 for the 2060 timeframe. The mean higher high water (MHHW) refers to the average of the higher high water height of each tidal day. The two -foot sea level rise MHHW inundation limits from the NOAA Sea Level Rise Viewer for the Miami Beach tidal gauge with roadways within the City of Dania Beach was compared. This comparison resulted in a planning -level review of roadways that would be tidally impacted at high tide on an average day. A roadway was considered inundated if its centerline overlapped the inundation limits. The roadway inundation lengths for the two feet of sea level rise condition is shown in Figure 8 shows the impacts of two feet of sea level rise on existing infrastructure in Dania Beach. Inundation is shown for both connected and disconnected (i.e. those areas not directly connected to coastal waters) low areas vulnerable to sea level rise. Given the generally sandy soils and high water table characteristics of Southeast Florida, disconnected low areas should be considered vulnerable to sea level rise. In addition to daily tidal impacts, nuisance flooding (often referred to as "king tides") refers to astronomical tidal conditions significantly higher than the MHHW, unrelated to local weather conditions. In South Florida, king tides impacts are typically most severe in the months of September, October, and November. Since 2014, there have been approximately 32 tidal events resulting in tides 1 foot higher than the MHHW, and 3 tidal events resulting in tides 2 feet higher than the MHHW. The highest of these events (excluding weather -related events) was a tide of 2.3o' NAVD, approximately 2.09 feet higher than the MHHW, on October 5, 2017.

Throughout the development of the Mobility Plan, the City sought to hear which transportation issues were most pressing from the perspective of Dania Beach's City Commission, residents, and the community. PUBLIC ENGAGEMENT PROCESS Mobility planning is not only about transit, roads, infrastructure, and government. It includes the people, the individuals who uses the transportation system and experience the impact of the transportation system. The people who live, work, and play in Dania Beach. VIRTUAL MEETINGS Individual virtual meetings with the Commissioners were held in December 2020 to present the existing conditions and initial capital improvement recommendations. Dialogue included transportation impact on the natural and built environments and specific community concerns. Additionally, two virtual open houses were held on the same day but at different times, one in the afternoon and one in the evening. This provided the opportunity for a greater participation by offering different times to accommodate people with varying schedules. A recording of the Open House was also made available on the City's website for those we were unable to attend.

The Mobility Survey was mentioned during the two virtual open houses and posted through different social media platforms such as Twitter, Facebook, and City's website. This was another method to solicit community input. The Mobility Survey consisted of 12 multiple choice questions. This made it simple and easy for the community to click a button than to type in a response. There were some multiple choice question that included an "other" comment field. The data gathered are essential for finding out the facing problems related to accessibility and opinions of the transportation system. w 15taWoUthe City soir _- Mayor Tamara James presents the State of the oania Beach ctryAddress.

Travel Delay (Eastbound Traffic) ROADWAY AND PAVEMENT CONDITION STUDY The City of Dania Beach has applied micro -surfacing to the streets to make repairs for the past five (5) years or more. This is a low cost option, which provides a short-term improvement in the appearance of the pavement, but does nothing to address issues associated with base failure or pavement damage. The specific recommendations to address the repairs includes base repair (using geotextiles, removal of excess asphalt) and resurfacing, restoration and rehabilitation (PPP). The pavement criteria are as follows based on engineering judgment with a maximum asphalt life of 12 years. o New (12 years remaining) - this is pavement that has been installed in 2003 and shows no cracking. o Very Good (10 years remaining) - asphalt installed in the last 3 years, which shows minimal cracking of any kind, and retains at least some of its color. What cracking exists must be limited to fine shrinkage cracks or slight edge damage. o Good (8 years remaining) - bleached asphalt, may have edge cracking, some shrinkage cracks, and some longitudinal cracks, the latter preferentially at intersections. O Fair (5 years remaining) - has one or more of the following: longitudinal cracking, significant shrinkage cracks, edge damage, edge cave-in signs, utility cut settling, pavement layer delamination, potholes, uneven surfaces, asphalt bleeding, excessive asphalt, defective asphalt installation and/or obvious age. o Poor (less than 2 years remaining) - has one or more of the following that is extensive or significant, especially in combination with the other potential defects: longitudinal cracking, significant shrinkage cracks, edge damage, edge cave-in signs, utility cut settling, pavement layer delamination, potholes, uneven surfaces, asphalt bleeding. It should be noted that in most cases, poor pavement is indicative of base failure and some base stabilization may be necessary or recommended. TRANSPORTATION SYSTEMS Transportation systems differ from the water, sewer and storm water infrastructure because they are not designed to protect human health or property. Instead, transportation systems are designed to promote economic activity by facilitating the movement of goods and services from one quarter to another. At the same time these transportation systems are designed to move good safely - protecting people, goods and property simultaneously. In addition, transportation is not limited to any one service - transportation includes pedestrians, motored vehicles, railroads, air and waterways. However, while the multimodal aspect of transportation systems is distinctly different from other infrastructure systems, it is often the transportation corridors that bring the other systems together. Water, sewer, power, storm water, etc. are typically located in roadway corridors. In addition, there are other layers of transportation services and the locales they can reach. For example, water transportation is limited to navigable waterways. Air travel is limited to where there are airports, and goods and people must have a means to move from airports other destinations. Railroads resolve the limitation of ports and airports by extending service to communities not located on waterways or air terminals. Railroad must remain on tracks that have limitations on where they are located - motor vehicles resolve this limitation. Roads were developed to facilitate this multi -modal transport of goods and services, thereby connecting air, water and rail outlets. Bicycles and motorcycles can travel places cars cannot. Pedestrians of course can walk just about anywhere the climate and terrain permits. But there are areas that are not even accessible then. Intra-modal needs of transportation indicate the least expensive way to move goods is ship -rail -truck -bicycle -pedestrian - in that order. Each layer carries less goods than the former, and at a higher cost, but can reach more destinations and more customers. ROADWAYS IN THE CITY The roads in Dania Beach generally involve local community streets - these generally serve houses within a subdivision and may have curbs and sidewalks, with water distribution, sewer collection and storm water systems underground, and will generally have speed limits of 25-30 miles per hour (MPH). Stop signs are the normal means for intersection control. Speed humps can be used to keep speeds down. Rarely are these roads more than two lanes although often the lanes are wide enough to support curb -side parking. Crosswalks may appear although crosswalks should never be installed where there is not a stop sign. For the most part the Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) maintains the Collector streets and arterial streets in the City. While the breadth of roadway options is large, the construction materials are fairly limited. In the City virtually all road surfaces are asphalt. Within the roadways themselves, the road has a base, sub -base and a surface. The base and sub -base materials are compacted rock - usually 95- 98% compaction. The base and sub -base provide the stability to the road. Keeping them dry keeps the base from swelling. A wet base will move and flex as there is nothing to hold it together. Hence the road surface coat is designed to keep the base dry. Base failure is one of the most common causes of roadway damage. Improperly compacted bases, or bases that are saturated with water will have long-term maintenance issues unless corrected. Base failure will translate to the cracking of surface pavement, more quickly in asphalt than concrete. As a result, it is important to understand when roadway failure is simply due to the pavement, and when it is caused by other factors that require more extensive repairs. Note that how the road is initially constructed is the best predicator of future problems. The term "asphalt" is used by the public, but the roadway surfaces are actually asphalt concrete surfaces. Asphalt concrete has two components - asphalt and the rocks in the asphalt called aggregate. "Asphalt" is bitumen, a volatile hydrocarbon compound of tar that creates a sticky connection between the aggregates that exists in a solid state at normal air temperatures. It is one of the mixtures that comes off the refining process for oil at goo degrees Fahrenheit by applying a vacuum. By heating the bitumen, it coats the aggregate and then sets up as it cools, creating asphalt concrete. Ultimately, asphalt concrete pavement is a mixture of rock, pebble or sand aggregates and 3-12% bitumen, depending on the aggregate size. 42 ASSESSING ASPHALT CONCRETE PAVEMENT Assessing asphalt cracking can provide useful information into what is really happening to a roadway surface, which may affect pavement performance and determine the severity of the damage and needed improvements. It also can point out structural or material defects which could lead to reduced pavement performance and eventual failure of the pavement and base. Base failure is expensive. As a result, it is well worth it to an organization that must maintain roads to have a person who can look at failures and assess the cause. Several organizations provide certifications to people who take classes on asphalt inspection. These certification are well worth the investment to those organizations as there will be an in-house person who can diagnose and correct the defects as opposed to making fixes that will not last. Visual inspection is the best means to assess roadways. Ongoing surveys of the roadway are critical because as Uzarowski et al (2008) note, the roadway network deteriorates as the condition worsens and traffic volumes increase. Because most agencies have financial constraints placed on them, getting to every roadway segment needing help can be a challenge. Uzarowski et al (2008) note that in an effort to stretch limited dollars, many organizations will look at pavement recycling as a means to cut costs. Recycling reduces the impact of pavement construction on environment by reusing depleting natural resources, reducing energy consumption and reducing greenhouse gases (Uzarowski et al 2008). In assessing pavements there are numerous methods to assess condition. However, the primary one used by transportation departments is the Paser Pavement Surface Evaluation and Rating Manual developed at the University of Wisconsin - Madison. They identify four major categories of common asphalt pavement surface distress (as discussed previously) that result from environmental and wear factors (Etinne, 2002). o Surface defects - Raveling, flushing, polishing. o Surface deformation Rutting, distortion - Rippling and shoving, settling, frost heave. o Cracks - Transverse, reflection, slippage, longitudinal, block, and alligator cracks. o Patches and potholes Work orders should note areas repaired so a tracking tool will help identify problem areas. A comprehensive pavement management system involves collecting data and assessing several road characteristics: roughness (ride), surface distress (condition), surface skid characteristics, and structure (pavement strength and deflection). However, first there is a need to inventory all roads, evaluate the pavement surface condition and identify corrective actions given that rate at which pavement deteriorates depends on its environment and traffic. The condition index may represent a single distress such as fatigue cracking or a combination of many pavement distresses which is then complied into a composite index (FHWA, 201o). The following are ratings are related to needed maintenance or repair based on data by Etinne (2002). o Rating 9 & 10 - No maintenance required o Rating 8 - Little or no maintenance c Rating 7 - Routine maintenance, crack sealing and minor patching o Rating 5 & 6 - Preservative treatments (sealcoating) o Rating 3 & 4 - Structural improvement and leveling (overlay or recycling) o Rating 1 & 2 - Reconstruction In any case, agencies should plan on asphalt repaving occurring every 7-15 years depending on conditions, weather, soils and traffic. The results indicate most of the road surfaces are in good condition. 7jt 0 March 12, 2019 Dania Beach City Boundary Pavement Defect 6 - Good (Sound, Need Seal Coat) Asset Defect Existing Pavement Rating 7 - Good (First Signs of Aging) 4 Manhole 1 - Failed (Total Reconstruction) 6 - Very Good (Little or No Maintenance) 0 Valve 2 -Very Poor (Surface Deficiencies) 9 - Excellent (Recent Overlay) ' Other 4 - Fair (50% Block Cracking) 10 - Excellent (New Construction) 5 - Fair (50% with Raveling) 44Z J 1:36,112 0 0.4 0.8 1.6 mi 0 0.5 2 km Esn.

Roadway Condition BASE Issuu Private roads, FDOT and County roadways were not assessed as a part of this process. The base condition was assessed based on degree of failure. The major issues for base failure are longitudinal cracks and in two situations, rolling. The most severe base failure issues are near water bodies and in the southeast section of the City. The worst road was SE 4th Street - the pavement rolls the entire length. The results were based on o = no base concerns, i = moderate needs, and 2 = significant base concerns. t 1 lia -all Gi It's r Y�� �� //// i� Ill■ II Fay .

To this note, the crown of the road should be 18 inches below any finished floor elevation and should be below any sidewalk. Not all roadways meet this criteria in the southeast section of the City. SE end Avenue is the worst example of excess asphalt - up to 18 inches of asphalt exists in some parts of the is roadway. As a result, it floods the sidewalks. One reason to add asphalt in the City appears to be base failures - the two issues occur together often. Excess asphalt which is a major cost when rebuilding the street.

Rating = (base failure score/2+1)* (2* base failure value+(10-pavement rating)/1o) Only 4 percent (4%) of the City has severe needs. The map does not attempt to address priority of roadway repairs for three reasons: the Southeast Drainage project will rebuild a number of the roadways so there is no need to address them now; the ongoing mobility study will identify priority roads for the MPO and those roads will likely be constructed with MPO and other funds; and a discussion with the City Commission and/or City residents on the remaining roads should be undertaken.

This means the City should be budgeting approximately $35o,000 each year over the next 15 years to address the base and pavement failure issues, without encountering any new ones, which is unlikely. Pavement lasts an average of 15 years in hot climates like Florida. Hence the City should prioritize the projects with an eye at getting caught up in under 10 years to allow for time to maintain the roadways that are in good condition today, but will deteriorate to the point they need grinding and repaving (or more) after 10 years. There is nearly a million dollars in base repairs and reconstruction that is needed. Miscellaneous repairs relate to valve, manhole, catch basin and other appurtenances that need to be lowered or raised. There are many pavement markings that are needed for safety purposes.
