The goal of the City of Miami Beach is to have all roads reach 3.7' NAVD88 to deal with flooding issues. Some roads are already this high, or higher. Some are lower and require elevation. The 3.7' NAVD88 standard is based on minimizing potential flooding associated with tides, rainfall, and sea level rise, to around the year 2055. This estimate is based on engineering models and the Southeast Florida Regional Climate Change Compact Unified Sea Level Rise Projection.
