What's in the Works
CORRIDOR STUDIES IN PROGRESS
 

95 Express North of Broward Boulevard
Possible extension of managed lanes further north from Broward Boulevard into Palm Beach County will be explored by the Florida Department of Transportation at such time as demand warrants. Extension of the 95 Express could include two high capacity lanes in either direction with limited access points to provide service similar to the 95 Express currently connecting commuters and express buses south into downtown Miami. Further study is anticipated to prepare for future need on this corridor.

Hollywood/Pines Livability and Congestion Management Study
With a focus on multimodal transportation, this study is the Broward MPO’s first combined congestion management and livability planning project. This project combines planning principals concerning the inter-relationships between land use and transportation planning for near-term mobility improvements including mobility hubs, or points of connection between travel modes and routes.

Oakland Park Boulevard Transit Corridor Study
Oakland Park Boulevard is a major east-west roadway in the central portion of Broward, providing access to major employment and shopping centers, as well as to education, civic, recreational, and health related opportunities. People use Oakland Park Boulevard for many of their trips by walking, biking, car, or bus. In fact, Broward County Transit’s Route 72 on Oakland Park Boulevard is the busiest east-west route, with nearly 9,000 riders boarding its buses daily. READ MORE



South US 1 Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) Improvement Study
Current BCT local bus service (Route 1) and Breeze limited stop service for this corridor experience high ridership, but unfortunately face some of the worst traffic congestion during peak times. This study will identify near-term premium transit improvements for the transit service that connects the transfer terminal located at Broward and 1st Street south to the Fort Lauderdale/Hollywood International Airport, and then to south to the Aventura Mall.

State Road 7 Livability and Congestion Management Study – Sample Road to the Golden Glades Interchange
Examination of short-term mobility improvements will be conducted for the southern extent of State Road 7 south to the Golden Glades Interchange in Miami-Dade. It is expected that the Broward MPO will oversee the study. A solicitation for consultant services is expected before the end of 2013.

 

State Road 7 Mobility Study – Sample Road to Glades Road
The FDOT is conducting a Project Development and Environment Study for State Road 7 between Sample Road (State Road 834) in Broward County and Glades Road (State Road 808) in Palm Beach County. The primary focus of the project is the development of operational and capacity improvement alternatives along State Road 7 to support future premium transit, including multimodal/premium transit alternatives and bicycle/pedestrian accommodations.

 

Tri-Rail Coastal Link (formerly South Florida East Coast Corridor Study)
The Tri-Rail Coastal Link project would reintroduce commuter passenger service along an 85-mile stretch of the Florida East Coast Railway between downtown Miami and Jupiter. It would connect 28 historic coastal communities along the densely populated corridor which runs through eastern Miami-Dade, Broward and Palm Beach counties. READ MORE

 

University Drive Mobility Improvements Planning Study
The University Drive Mobility Improvements Planning Study is one of a series of transportation planning studies being conducted by the Broward MPO. University Drive is one of Broward’s most critical north-south transportation corridors. This study explores a number of transportation improvement options for all users of the road based on the known challenges of heavy traffic congestion, limited convenient transit options, and a lack of safe and continuous sidewalks and bicycle facilities.
