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, 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 $3,016,098.00 from the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) to design and construct such a project along the aforementioned corridors 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 $80,000.00 for FY 2020. The projected locations for Mobility Improvements at Various Locations Bike Lane and Bike Path Bike Project Nos. 431770-5-52-01 and 431770-5-52-02, for providing for the construction of bike lanes along:
• N. Park Road From Hollywood Boulevard To Johnson Street;
