summary
Summary Explanation/Background:
The Cities of Pompano Beach and Deerfield Beach are working with the Metropolitan Planning Organization (MPO) to initiate proposed Complete Streets Improvements along Sample Road from NE 3rd Ave. to Dixie Highway and NE 3rd Ave., and on NE 3rd Ave. from Sample Road to Hillsboro Blvd. The timeframe for implementation of such improvements will be determined based on funding availability, with potential dates for design in 2026 and construction in 2028.
The MPO has a Complete Streets Master Plan which includes the improvements proposed for Sample Road. Complete Streets improvements allow pedestrians, bicyclists, transit riders, and motorists to conveniently travel on the same facilities while using any mode of transportation. These improvements provide easy access to cross the street, walk to shops, ride the bus, bike to school, and drive to work in a safe and comfortable environment. Specific improvements proposed for Sample Road from NE 3 Avenue to Dixie Hwy include: FPL to replace all light fixtures to pedestrian level lighting from NE 3 Avenue to Dixie Hwy; sidewalk widening on the north side of Sample Road; sidewalk installment where existing gaps to infrastructure exist.
Flyer notifications have been sent to adjacent property owners to provide information and receive input on the project scope. A Resolution of support is required to be approved by all participating local governments in order to allow this project to proceed, therefore staff recommends approval of this Resolution.
