Traffic study consultants to return with final concepts in November after stakeholder outreach
Summary
City staff and traffic consultants told the Lauderhill City Commission on Sept. 15 that consultants have refined roadway concepts since a May workshop and will resume stakeholder meetings in September and October; a final draft is expected around November, and staff were asked to pursue short-term safety fixes raised by community groups.
City traffic consultants and staff briefed the Lauderhill City Commission on Sept. 15 on the status of a multi-phased traffic study and said they expect to share final design concepts in late fall following stakeholder outreach.
The consultant told the commission that work on selected roadway concepts has continued since the May workshop and that the team will return to facility stakeholders this fall. "We should have a final draft in around November," the consultant said.
Why it matters: Selected roadway improvements will guide future capital planning, funding requests and safety work across several Lauderhill neighborhoods. Commissioners asked staff to pursue short-term safety improvements where feasible while larger projects move through design and funding.
Daniel (consultant) said the study team has been further developing designs for six roadways and would meet again with state and county agencies, Broward County Schools and neighborhood associations in September and October. Staff are scheduling public outreach with homeowner associations in northwest, central and south Lauderhill to present revised concepts. Daniel summarized the schedule as: stakeholder outreach in September–October, final draft in November, and a consultant presentation to the commission in November or December.
Commissioners pressed that some community safety concerns might not require full corridor projects. One commissioner noted that Rabbi Haim and other leaders raised issues around pedestrian crossings and automatic crosswalk signals; Daniel and staff agreed to follow up with Public Works and engineering about “short-term things that we can do quicker.” City Manager Kenny Hobbs said the team will coordinate the schedule and stakeholder follow-up.
No formal action was taken at the workshop. Staff said they will return with a more detailed schedule and cost estimates once the consultant completes the final concepts and stakeholder review.
