summary
Summary Explanation/Background:
The local governments of Pompano Beach, Ft. Lauderdale and Broward County are working with the Metropolitan Planning Organization (MPO) to initiate proposed Complete Streets Improvements along McNab Rd. from NW 31st Ave./SW46th Ave. to Dixie Hwy. 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 McNab 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 McNab Road include: separated bicycle lanes; continuous pedestrian zones (fixing sidewalk gaps); lane elimination (Powerline Road to Dixie Highway portion) - convert to a continuous 4 lane corridor; pedestrian lighting; widen medians in lane elimination section; landscaping opportunity areas, irrigation sleeves; and transit amenities and bus shelters.
A Virtual Public Information Workshop was held on December 9th 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.
