Miami Lakes Transportation Map

 

The Town of Miami Lakes is situated in the North West area of Miami-Dade County and it serves approximately 30,000 residents and 1,500 businesses. Access into the town is primarily via the Palmetto Expressway, I-75, and the Gratigny Expressway. These various expressways provide multiple approaches to the Town of Miami Lakes, but also limit the internal mobility within it; providing only one road that connects the east and the west side of Town.

Traffic congestion is the most common concern for both residents and businesses in Miami Lakes. The Town recognizes that assuring adequate mobility for residents, workers, and visitors requires a focus on all modes of transportation.

As an initiative of Councilman Nelson Rodriguez and the previous Vice Mayor Tony Lama, a Transportation Summit was held in 2015, in order to bring together the relevant stakeholders and experts of all agencies responsible for transportation. The Summit was designed to focus intensely on specific problems, while ensuring that all agencies’ actions are strategically coordinated to achieve optimal solutions. Town elected officials and staff were joined by the Florida Department of Transportation, Miami-Dade Transit, Miami-Dade Expressway Authority, Miami-Dade County Public Works, Miami-Dade Tranportation Planning Organization, South Florida Commuter Services, and the Town's civil/traffic engineering consultants Kimley-Horn and Associates and Corradino and Associates, to brainstorm and discuss possible ways to relieve congestion/mobility issues present in the Town.

Following the Transportation Summit with elected officials and staff, the Town hosted a Community Forum on Transportation to provide a recap of the Town’s Transportation Summit and the strategies voted upon to be included in the Town's 2015-2025 Strategic Plan.
