Board members raise pothole, signage and U‑turn concerns; staff to refer to Public Works
Summary
Board members flagged a large pothole behind Circle K and called for clearer signage and enforcement at several intersections, including a FDOT/County 441/Kimberly project update; staff said they will forward the issues to Public Works and follow up on jurisdiction and remediation.
Planning and Zoning Board members raised multiple neighborhood maintenance and traffic-safety concerns at the Jan. 7 meeting and asked staff to forward the matters to Public Works for jurisdiction and follow-up.
Board members reported a large hole in the parking area between the Aldi and Circle K properties, saying the condition appears to be a property-maintenance violation and may require commercial repair (asphalt resurfacing) by the property owner. Staff said property-maintenance procedures typically begin with a courtesy notice and that corporate owners often require soliciting a contractor.
Separately, members discussed the Florida Department of Transportation project on the State Road 7/Kimberly corridor (the 441/Kimberly project) and noted an elected-official meeting that evening. Board members expressed interest in the project’s reach and impacts through North Lauderdale and Margate and confirmed the city had at least one elected official logged into the meeting.
Board members also asked staff to investigate signage and lane-marking clarity at the Cypress Creek/McNabb approach to Boulevard of Champions, reporting drivers are treating a single left-turn lane as two left-turn lanes and sometimes forcing other vehicles off the lane. A board member also raised reports of U-turns at the T intersection near Kingdom Hall and asked whether existing signage or traffic rules allow the maneuvers; staff said Public Works will determine jurisdiction and whether signage changes are possible.
Staff said it will forward the specific complaints to Public Works, determine whether the locations fall under city, county or FDOT jurisdiction, and provide an update to the board.
