Explanation:
The City of Hollywood continues to strive to fulfill its long-term vision to significantly enhance safety, mobility and provide transportation options for its citizens and visitors throughout the City, including the Hollywood Lakes Community, and has determined that a Complete Streets project would meet that vision. The City has coordinated closely with the Florida Department of Transportation, which actively supports local governments in implementing Complete Streets projects structured to enhance mobility for non-motorized road users. FDOT has secured funding in the amount of $3,561,990.00 from the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) to design and construct such a project along S/N 14th Avenue and Polk Street on behalf of the City. It is anticipated that there will be aspects/components that do not qualify for the use of Federal funding for this project, such as tree relocation and tree removal mitigation, as well as annual operating and maintenance costs, the City will be required to fund these elements in an estimated amount of $150,000.00 for FY 2019. The Florida Department of Transportation requires that the City execute a Highway Maintenance Memorandum of Agreement to formally assume responsibility for funding those elements that are ineligible for Federal funding in order to move forward with this project, which must be sanctioned by means of a Resolution of Support from the City of Hollywood.
