Accomplishments

  • Transportation Master Plan – The Transportation Master Plan was completed in FY 2004-05. This Plan will provide the blueprint for future transportation projects and investments. The Transportation Plan received the 2004 Outstanding Transportation Study Award from the American Planning Association’s Gold Coast Section.
  • Stormwater Master Plan – The Stormwater Master Plan provides the justification for the grant funding that the Village has received from the State and forms the basis for the establishment of a Palmetto Bay Stormwater Utility. In conjunction with the Stormwater Master Plan the Village entered into an interlocal agreement with Miami-Dade County as co-permittee on NPDES MS4 operating permit. FLS000003. Effective February 2, 2005 FEMA approved the Village’s application to participate in the National Flood Insurance Program. This action guarantees that flood insurance will continue to be available to local property owners.
  • Signage Master Plan – The Signage Master Plan provides the basis for the Village to undertake the requested signage upgrades throughout the Village that will strengthen the community’s sense of identity and make it easier for residents and visitors to find their way.
  • Traffic Calming - The Village Public Works Department, working in conjunction with Miami-Dade County, continues to respond to numerous residential complaints in reference to traffic signals and other traffic control devices to reduce speeding through residential neighborhoods. Traffic calming projects are currently underway throughout Village neighborhoods.
  • Circulator Study - The Public Works Department has taken the initiative to investigate alternate modes of transportation within the Village to minimize roadway congestion. These initiatives include the new "IBUS" bus circulator currently in operation. Please click here for more information.
