Explanation:
On September 20, 2018, the City Commission passed and adopted Resolution No. R-2018-287, authorizing the appropriate City officials to execute the Transportation System Surtax Interlocal Agreement with Broward County and the Broward County Metropolitan Planning Organization setting forth conditions for municipal project funding and supporting the 2018 Transportation Surtax ballot measure. The ballot measure was approved by the voters of Broward County on November 6, 2018.
On April 1, 2020, Broward County finalized Cycle 1 evaluation criteria and opened an application portal for municipal rehabilitation and maintenance projects.
The Department of Development Services, Engineering, Transportation and Mobility Division has identified the following rehabilitation and maintenance projects that improve City streets, congestion, sidewalks, and neighborhood flooding:

These projects primarily consist of milling and resurfacing, sidewalk repairs, and additional ADA access points on cross-streets. Some project areas will also receive additional cross walks, drainage improvements, and minor modifications to reduce congestion and improve safety.
