Miramar accepts FDOT design funds for Honey Hill Drive pedestrian and bike improvements
Summary
The commission approved a Local Agency Program agreement with FDOT to accept up to $307,322 for design of the Honey Hill Drive mobility project (multi‑use path, lighting, ADA ramps); construction funds are anticipated in FY2028 and will require a separate agreement.
The Miramar City Commission on Nov. 5 approved a Local Agency Program (LAP) agreement with the Florida Department of Transportation to accept design funding for the Honey Hill Drive mobility project, which will add a multi‑use path, pedestrian lighting and ADA‑compliant ramps between Flamingo Road and Southwest 55th Street.
City engineer Salzinga told the commission the Florida DOT allocated design funds (not to exceed $307,322) for project FM# 448290.1 through the Broward MPO and that construction funding is planned in FDOT’s five‑year work program for fiscal year 2028. Salzinga said the LAP requires the city to manage the project and initially advance costs that will be reimbursed quarterly.
Vice Mayor Colburn praised the rendering and said sidewalks and lighting would significantly improve mobility and safety for residents in the Haven Lakes area. Commissioner Sherazard and others asked about pedestrian use and connections to surrounding neighborhoods; staff confirmed the improvements target pedestrian mobility and connections from Haven Lakes west to Flamingo Road.
City manager and staff recommended approval; the commission moved and unanimously approved the LAP agreement. The commission was told a separate construction‑phase agreement will be brought back in FY2028 when funds are available.
