Preliminary Stakeholder Input Seaports Port Miami 2035 Master Plan Update recently completed which details priority projects Key projects include: Channel Deepening, Post-Panamax Cranes, onport ICTF, Port Tunnel Effective use of P3 s is seen as critical to investment strategies Improvements on key landside corridors and connectors will be critical for market access Transshipment and perishable markets are a priority, requiring changes or modifications to regulations 13
Preliminary Stakeholder Input Seaports Port Everglades CIP and MP detail priority projects; MP update currently underway Key projects include: STN Widening, Post-Panamax Cranes, on-port ICTF, Eller Drive Overpass, and Deep Dredge and Widening Current Master Plan Update will refine the projects and schedules Effective use of P3 s is seen as critical to investment strategies Traffic flows on-port have severe peaks now; future growth will worsen the flows Improvements on key landside corridors and connectors will be critical for market access Technology should be used effectively to facilitate traffic flows and enforcement activities 14
Preliminary Stakeholder Input Seaports Port of Palm Beach (draft pending interview) CIP and MP detail priority projects Key projects include: Slip Rehabilitation/Redevelopment, Intermodal Passenger and Cargo Terminal, Reefer Line Expansion, MLK Widening, FEC Connection Improvements Improvements on key landside corridors and connectors will be critical for market access 15
16 Preliminary Stakeholder Input Airports Miami International Airport Capacity exists to serve additional growth based on $500 million in air cargo projects over last 10 years Targeting new international markets to augment Latin America Traffic Middle East is emerging Truck parking, staging, fueling facility is needed Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport Air cargo volume has been on decline since 2008 Targeting European markets (passenger belly-cargo) Recent growth in Latin American markets No cargo capacity issues anticipated No major access issues reported
Preliminary Stakeholder Input Airports 17 Palm Beach International Airport Air cargo volume increase in 2010 due to FedEx arrival, flat since Not actively marketing or anticipating increased cargo activity/carriers Room to expand existing cargo ramp if demand warrants No cargo capacity issues anticipated General Aviation Airports All cargo activity at GA airports are non-scheduled charter flights using single and twin-engine prop aircraft E.g. Fort Lauderdale Executive has regular activity from 5 charter carriers based at Airport Primarily used to move foodstuffs for island restaurants and resorts
Preliminary Stakeholder Input Rail 18 FEC Railway Constructing leads to Port Miami and Port Everglades Developing on-port ICTFs at Port Miami and Port Everglades Working with Port Of Palm Beach to improve rail connection FDOT D6 conducting connector study for Hialeah Ramp Adding second track to Hialeah Ramp access point Hialeah Ramp entrance/exit gate complex to be rebuilt/expanded/automated Expanding siding/staging area in North Miami to build trains from Port Miami Fort Lauderdale Ramp to be redeveloped; possible staging for ethanol TIGER Grant award will shift cargo traffic in South Florida All Aboard will add double track capacity
Preliminary Stakeholder Input Rail CSX Transportation CSX provides carload and box car service to South Florida Focused on investments in Winter Haven Ramp and subsequent industrial/distribution facilities South Florida investments/needs currently limited to local spurs TIGER Grant award will shift cargo traffic in South Florida, providing an opportunity for CSX to connect to its Winter Haven facility Balancing passenger and cargo operations in South Florida will be critical Service to America s Gateway ILC may impact South Florida Service offerings will be market driven; municipal solid waste may be a market to service in South Florida as land fills close 19
Preliminary Stakeholder Input Roadways 20 On-going truck driver survey providing input directly from the industry Biggest roadway problems: Congestion Distance to make lane changes Mid-block sight clearance Turning radii at intersections Biggest non-roadway problems: Availability of truck parking Gate queues
Preliminary Stakeholder Input Roadways Bottlenecks identified thus far: 21 Port Congestion SR 826 SR 836 Golden Glades NB to I-95 Construction on local Miami- Dade roadways creates heavy congestion Hours of construction create heavy road delays in some commercial areas NW 25 th St South River Dr and Okeechobee Rd Intersection lights not in sequence Flooding (especially in Doral) creates heavy traffic in inclement weather; horrible drainage sewer system in all of Doral
