[Page Left Blank Intentionally]
Purpose:This draft report fulfills one of the requirements within the contract entitled, “Southeast Florida’s Regional Vision and Blueprint for Economic Prosperity (Sustainable Communities Initiative) – Master Contract”, approved by the South Florida Regional Planning Council on November 7, 2011.
Introduction:Four scenarios for the year 2060 were created:
• Trend:StayingtheCourse• Plan1:SuburbanExpansion• Plan2:StrategicUpgrades• Plan3:RegioninMotion
Thesescenariosexistbothas illustrativeplansforthepurposesofcommunicatingtheeffectsofchanges in landuse, transportation, environmental and agricultural policy, primarily for a lay audience; and as GIS (Geographic Information Systems) data, for the purpose of modeling the effects of such changes based on key indicators.

Scenario MappingThe physical scenarios are influenced by a number of major policy decisions, including location of population growth, prioritization of transit, and the push for climate change adaptation. Climate change mitigation plays a large role in determining land availability for development, as well as influencing which areas will face outward migration due to climate vulnerability.
Population growth in the seven county region will be accommodated primar-ily in one of two ways. The first is to increase density through infill develop-mentandredevelopmentinpreviouslydevelopedareasutilizingexistinginfra-structure.The second is to continue expansion intopreviouslyundevelopedlocations.Expansionopportunitieswillprovetobelimited,particularlyintheSouthern counties, as demonstrated in both the Trend: Staying the Course and Plan1:SuburbanExpansionscenarios.
Amajor elementof evaluating future scenarios is the extensionofwalkableneighborhoods and usage of transit oriented development. When implemented correctly, they can be used as a method of encouraging population growth con-centration in less vulnerable areas, and to continue in a more regionally sustain-able manner. Though there are numerous differences within the plans, the role oftransitinaccommodatingpopulationgrowth,bothexistingandproposed,plays a major role in differentiating between the scenarios. Plan 2: Strategic Upgrades,andPlan3:RegioninMotion,demonstratewaysofaccommodat-ing future growth by encouraging infill development within walkable areas.
Increased density goes hand-in-hand with investments in transit and improve-mentstomakestreetsmorepedestrian-friendly.Examplesofsuchinvestmentshave already started to take place along Miami’s Metrorail line, and can be seeninneighborhoodssuchasSouthMiami,BrickellandDowntownKendall.Even within already established growth areas, a great deal of future growth may occur. With enough investment and retrofit of streets into comfortable public spaces, these areas have the potential to mature into lively urban neighbor-hoods.
TheTrend:StayingtheCourseandPlan1:SuburbanExpansionscenariosas-sume that walkable areas will continue to develop around the Miami Metrorail stations. These are first priority areas for investment in walkability.
The FEC rail line, originally developed by Henry Flagler, historically carried passengers along Florida’s east coast and created many of the state’s original settlements. Reviving passenger rail service along this line restores connections to these historic communities that were severed decades ago with the

discontinuation of passenger service. These communities will benefit greatly from investments in walkability, including reinvestment and infill development. DelrayBeachandWestPalmBeachhavealreadyseensubstantialgrowthasaresult of such mechanisms.
Plan 2: Strategic Upgrades, assumes that walkable areas will also developaroundtheexistingTri-RailstationsaswellasaroundplannedFECpassengerrailstationswithinMiami-DadeandBrowardCounties,inadditiontotheMi-ami Metrorail stations.
Plan3:RegioninMotionassumesthatinadditiontotheareasinPlan2,walk-able areas will also develop around proposed FEC passenger rail stations in PalmBeach,Martin,St.LucieandIndianRiverCounties.
Walkableneighborhoodsshouldallincorporatesomelevelofmixed-usesandbe designed with pedestrians and cyclists in mind. Having living, working, shopping,educational,andrecreationalopportunitiesincloseproximityisofincreased importance as cities mature. In recent years, health problems such as obesity, heart disease, high blood pressure, and the maladies associated with so-cial alienation are increasing in prevalence, in part due to a built-environment that does not allow walking or facilitate human interaction. Encouraging walk-ability helps establish healthy life styles.
The young and the elderly, are particularly vulnerable to being left behind by urban forms that necessitate driving long distances. A wide investment in walk-able places brings more of the activities of daily living within walking distance of residential areas and a framework of transportation alternatives including transitandbicyclesystemsandencouragestheuseofamixoftravelmodes(pedestrian, bicycle, transit, and car). Walkable communities are formed from a number of elements, such as a fine-grained network of connected streets; a mixofusesandamenitieswithinwalkingdistance;buildingsfrontingstreets;narrow streets; streets with managed speeds; sidewalks; and on-street parking.
It is important to consider vehicular speed when determining walkability of an area, due to its relationship with pedestrian fatalities. In a crash with a vehicle travelinggreaterthan30mph,pedestrianmortality isgreaterthan50%, in-creasingto85%foravehicletraveling40mph.Thisrequiresachangeinpriori-tiesfrommovingasmuchtrafficasquicklyaspossible–attheexpenseofothermodes and adjacent land uses – to providing choices, equilibrium, and connec-tions between driving, transit, walking, and bicycling. It also requires a serious commitment to effective public transit that links together walkable areas to create a healthy region in which one can move around without needing a car.

Walkable Areas & Transit Oriented Development Sites
The atlas shows a close-up of one of the scenario models created by the Seven50 Team for the region. It illustrates proposed land use and transportation frameworks for the region that create more multi-modal and walkable areas.
Magenta Areas on the MapsMagentaareas includeMajorTransitOrientedDevelopmentSites,MinorTransitOrientedDevelopmentSites,andWalkableCorridors.Theseareasindicate improved walkability and bikeability in order to capitalize on the investmentmadeintransitand/orthoroughfareimprovements.Walkable/bikeable improvements include items such as greater sidewalk/bike routeconnectivity, more continuous street tree shade canopy and increased ease of crossing intersections. Where needed, improvements should include adjustments to land development regulations to permit and promote pedestrian-friendly development including: buildings establishing a well-shaped public street space, doors and windows facing the street, minimization of blank walls and back-of house service areas facing the street and less obtrusive parking, generally placed to the rear and sides of buildings. These areas may also warrant adjustments to land development regulations to permitanincreaseofdevelopmentintensityandmixingofuses.
Magenta Around Major Transit Oriented Development SitesThree-tiered magenta circles indicate improved walkability and bikeability aroundheavypassengerrailstationssuchasalongtheexistingMetrorailandTri-Rail systems. The tiered system indicates the improved walkability and bikeability with the greatest focus on improvements within ¼ mile radius, intermediate focus on improvements within ½ mile radius and moderate focus on improvements within a 1-mile radius of stations. The larger emphasis on walkability around heavy rail transit stations is commensurate with the increased capital investment in these transportation facilities.
Minor Transit Oriented Development SitesTwo-tiered magenta circles indicate improved walkability and bikeability near urban transportation circulators such as streetcars or bus rapid transit stations. The tiered system indicates the improved walkability and bikeability with the greatest focus on improvements within ¼ mile radius and moderate focus on improvements within a ½ mile radius of station or stops.
Primary North-South and East-West ThoroughfaresSinglecoloredlinearstripesofmagentaextendingapproximately¼mileoneachside of north-south and east-west corridors indicate improved walkability and bikeability along these primary road connections. Many of these corridors are currently served with conventional bus transit and therefore could potentially be good candidate locations for an increase of development intensity and mixingofuses.Focusofincreaseddevelopmentintensityandmixingofusesalong these primary corridors will help to absorb development pressure over time in a logical pattern and will thereby help to preserve the character of the primarily residential neighborhoods bounded by these corridors while also providing services within a closer range of these neighborhoods.

The Southeast Florida Region continues developing along its current trend with no major changes in regional growth, transportation, environmental, social, and/oreconomicpolicies.
New development is pushed to the edges of metropolitan areas, causing widespread loss of farmland and environmentally sensitive lands, particularly inthenortherncountiesofIndianRiver,St.LucieandMartin.Developmentislargely automobile-dependent, resulting in further strains on the suburban road networks and creating routine traffic jams during peak hours. New highways are built,andexistingonesareexpandedatgreatexpenseinthehopesofrelievingtrafficcongestion.Theexpandedcapacityhowever,isquicklyoverwhelmedwithtraffic from new development spawned by these new roadways and a growing population. Development pressures at the edges of existing developmentcreatenewstressesontheurbandevelopmentboundariesinMiami-DadeandBrowardcountiestobeexpandedinordertoaccommodatedemand.
Meanwhile, demographic changes demand more pedestrian-friendly urban environments, yet constrained supplies of walkable areas causes the prices in these places to rise, putting them out of reach of large portions of the population. Energy and transportation costs also continue to rise, putting a strain on household budgets, especially throughout the automobile-dependent suburban stretches of the region.

Sea-level rise gradually affects more and more of the region, causing widespread flooding in low-lying areas. Many areas are unable to afford necessary investments in storm-water infrastructure and shoreline protection measures to protect key areas from the effects of sea-level rise.

Inthisscenariotheregioncontinuestogrowasithasbutwitha7.5%increasein population migration towards the north from the Trend scenario. There are no major changes in transportation, environmental, social or economic policies from today except for the policies thatwould encourage less growth in thesouthern counties and more growth in the northern counties.
Greater development of low density single family homes is pushed into the northerncountiesofIndianRiver,St.Lucie,andMartin.Thisisdueinpartdue to the lack of undeveloped affordable land in the south and its abundant availability in the north, causing an even greater loss of farmland and environmentally sensitive lands than the Trend scenario. New highways, road widening projects, and flyover lanes are added to rural areas to expand thefootprint of development and increase traffic capacity as development occurs.
At the same time, another percentage of the population demands vibrant, pedestrian-friendly environments. While transit oriented development areas aredevelopingaroundexistingMetrorailandTri-RailstationsinthesoutherncountiesofMiami-DadeandBroward,connectedwalkableareasremainlimited.This perpetuates the almost certain need to own a car and causes housing costs to rise even higher for these sought after locations. Rising housing costs in addition to transportation costs throughout the region consume an average of 50%ofahousehold’sincome,makingitunaffordableformostpeople.

Ahigh percentage of the roughly 3million new residents in the region areaccommodated in complete, compact, walkable, mixed-use areas served bytransit along Tri-Rail and the Florida East Coast rail line, primarily within Miami-DadeandBrowardCounties.Publicinvestmentsarecarefullyselectedand strategically located to have the greatest impact such as redesigning key streets to encourage more mobility options like walking, cycling, and transit.
This plan extends walkable areas along several significant corridors. Thefirstof these is theUS-1corridor inMiami-DadeCounty,with the region’spremier bus-rapid transit service in operation. Nodes of investment in walkable development should be created along every major stop along this line and aroundexistingTri-Railstationsthroughouttheregion.Astheseareasmature,further investments in transit can be made, prioritizing station areas for walkabledevelopment.Thisscenarioalsoextendswalkabilityalongmanyofthemajor corridors that connect the region north-south and east-west, particularly inMiami-Dade and Broward Counties, bringing consistent transit coverageto these areas. The systematic redesign of streets to encourage a wider range of transportation options is a first step to creating a healthy region, with an improved quality of life. More livable streets in turn encourage redevelopment along these corridors, helping to accommodate future growth and bringing dailyneedsincloserproximitytoexistingneighborhoods.
Climate change adaptation becomes a priority. Sea-level rise gradually affects more and more of the region, causing widespread flooding in low-lying areas. Although many areas are unable to afford necessary investments, economically prosperousandproductivemunicipalitiessuchasMiamiBeachmakeextensiveinvestments in storm-water infrastructure to protect key areas from at least some of the effects of sea-level rise. Current Everglades’s restoration projects continue and regional and state cooperation bolster the efforts to help mitigate the effects of saltwater intrusion for additional years.

Asignificantpercentageoftheroughly3millionnewresidentsareaccommodatedinwalkable,transitorienteddevelopmentsalongexistingraillinessuchastheFEC linewhich extends fromMiami to Sebastian Inlet and beyond. Streetdesign for the region gets a “software upgrade” for multi-modalism including connecting most neighborhoods to rail transit by streetcar or bus. This includes a reprioritizationofwhat streets are utilized for.Design speeds are loweredallowing for other priorities and provide a balance between all users of the rights of way - private vehicles, transit, cyclists, and pedestrians. Western centers for urban development are identified and the region attracts young, highly paid, information economy workers.
Meeting future demand in only transit oriented development areas, however, would require levels of density that not everyone is comfortable living in. A more comprehensive approach increases the amount of area devoted to walkable, transit-oriented development. Wider investment allows for middle-range densities that are currently missing in the Southeast Florida real-estate markets.Middledensitiesincludeadiversityofhousingtypessuchasduplexes,rowhouses, small apartment buildings andmixed-use buildings. This assistsin creating affordable housing throughout the region without creating large concentrations of any one type of housing. A diversity of housing also allows a variety of people in different stages of their lives to live harmoniously together, generating a more stable, active community.
ThisscenariofurtherextendswalkableareasbeyondthoseinPlan2:StrategicUpgrades,bycreatingnodesof investmentalongcorridors, includingseveralwestern centers of urban development. Through a serious commitment to transit, these corridors can connect to the regional economic and transportation centers. With careful investment and redevelopment, a series of walkable, livable neighborhoods can emerge, creating important corridors of economic prosperity in the region.
Climate change adaptation becomes a high priority. Numerous areas along the coasts are protected against some effects of sea level rise with increased investments throughout the region to install stormwater back-flow preventers, increase storm walls, and invest in other technological advancements in order to protect high investment areas within the region. Current Everglades restoration projects continue and regional and state cooperation bolster the efforts to help mitigate the effects of saltwater intrusion for additional years.
