Staff Recommends: Approval of the attached Resolution.
Explanation:
The Florida Department of Transportation (“FDOT”) has completed a Project Development and Environment Study (“PD&E”) for Interstate 95, from south of Hallandale Beach Blvd to north of Hollywood Blvd. The purpose of this project is to reduce congestion and enhance safety within the limits of this project.
The City reviewed FDOT’s recommended alternative proposal and determined that there are several concerns with respect to that alternative.
Based on these concerns, on September 14, 2021, the City passed Resolution number R-2021-242, not supporting FDOT’S proposed alternative and recommending either the no-build alternative for the project or for FDOT to modify the proposed alternative to address the City’s concerns.
Since then, FDOT has developed an alternative proposal that addresses the City’s concerns as shown on the attached Exhibit “B”.
Fiscal Impact:
Approval of this resolution will not fiscally impact the City.
