Explanation:
The Hollywood Beach Community Redevelopment Agency ("CRA") Plan identifies the need to eliminate slum and blight by improving circulation for pedestrians, bicyclists, and motorists, and to underground the overhead utility lines. The Plan includes the conversion of overhead utility lines to underground within the public right of way of the Beach District.
The CRA Board directed staff to proceed with Streetscape Improvements and Undergrounding from Hollywood Boulevard to the southern City limits, which includes the east west streets from Harrison Street to Magnolia Terrace, Surf Road, the street ends and harmonization to private properties from State Road A1A to the west right of way line of the Broadwalk, and State Road A1A from Hollywood Boulevard to the southern City limits.
On June 3, 2020, the CRA Board passed and adopted Resolution No. R-BCRA-2020-20, which authorized Kimley-Horn and Associates to provide consulting services for the design of Phase IV for both the E/W Streets and State Road A1A from Hollywood Boulevard to the southern City limits.
On May 5, 2022, the CRA through the City submitted a letter of interest to the Florida Department of Transportation (“FDOT”) to enter into a Joint Partnership Agreement (“JPA”) to combine the CRA’s State Road A1A project scope with the proposed FDOT Resurfacing, Restoration and Rehabilitation (“RRR”) Project.
On July 25, 2022, FDOT responded to the letter of interest accepting the request to enter a JPA.
