Councilmember urges residents to attend Broward County meeting on proposed Sheridan Street widening
Summary
Councilmember David Kosinski urged residents to attend a Broward County public information meeting Sept. 30 about a proposed Sheridan Street widening (Volunteer Road to East Flamingo), saying the plan could bring more lanes, noise and lighting effects and urging turnout to oppose changes.
Councilmember David Kosinski (District 4) told the Town of Southwest Ranches council he and neighbors are concerned about a Broward County proposal to widen Sheridan Street from Volunteer Road to East Flamingo Road.
"The projected widening of Sheridan Street ... currently 4 lanes expanding to projected 6 lanes," Kosinski said, and he asked residents to attend a county public information meeting at the Southwest Regional Library on Sept. 30 at 6 p.m. He said residents along Old Sheridan and in neighboring Sunshine Ranches fear increased noise, brighter lighting and diminished property values.
Kosinski framed the request as an extension of past town advocacy on road and development issues and urged residents and council colleagues to "pack the house" at the county meeting to register community concern.
The item was presented as a council member announcement; no formal action was taken by the council at this meeting. Residents seeking more information were directed to the county's public meeting and the Southwest Regional Library location given by Kosinski.
