For owners of homes and condos in Miami, the “Magic City” has much to offer, but traffic is also a time-consuming burden they face daily.
Traffic is also a major issue considered by new buyers when it comes time to shop for a new home. Miami traffic ranks in as sixth worst in the entire nation.
Thanks to a new survey conducted by the Metropolitan Center at Florida International University long and short term solutions are in the wake of being implemented.
The survey was given to 500 Miami business executives. As a result, three of the top short term solutions where determined. Proposals include better synchronized traffic signals, higher priority of traffic law enforcement on behalf of the Police, and road construction limited to late evening and non-rush hours.
Another plan is set to start in late 2007. After several delays the Metered Proposal for example, will install ramp meters at 22 locations along Interstate 95. The meters will help control and regulate traffic flow.
A certain level of commitment has also been asked of businesses. One proposal calls for companies to embrace flexible work hours and employee telecommuting.
Other long term plans include educating business owners about government rewards offered for providing incentives and subsidiaries to their employees who car pool or use public transportation.
