Lauderhill officials detail road, drainage and infrastructure projects proposed under RISE Lauderhill bond
Summary
Officials said the bond would fund resurfacing guided by the 2023 roadway master plan, full roadway rebuilds (utilities and drainage), restriping and pump-station upgrades with remote monitoring; roadway work will be prioritized citywide per the master plan.
City staff told attendees the RISE Lauderhill proposal uses the city’s 2023 roadway improvement master plan to guide resurfacing and broader roadway work that includes utilities and drainage.
"During this geo bond, we'll be focusing on that plan and in resurfacing of the roads that are called out in the citywide city roads," the public-works speaker said, describing asphalt resurfacing, milling, and full roadway segments that include drainage and utilities.
Officials said the bond would fund citywide restriping (stop bars, crosswalks and center lines), repair faded speed humps and add traffic-calming devices where needed. From a drainage standpoint, presenters described upgrades already made this year and said the bond would fund technology and monitoring upgrades at pump stations so staff can observe operations remotely 24 hours a day.
The bond also includes funds connected to a mixed-use development the city is negotiating on 14 city-owned acres at Sunrise Boulevard and 441; officials said that development is expected to provide supplemental parking that will help the performing-arts center and offset some operating costs for the city. The city manager said the bond would also allocate funding for supplemental parking at the 1,100-seat performing-arts center.
City staff said they will provide more detailed project lists and scheduling as part of the bond-implementation process if the measure is approved by voters.
