Public Kick-Off Meeting – Wednesday, November 9, 2016 The Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT), District Four, has initiated a Project Development and Environment (PD&E) Study for State Road 9/Interstate 95 (I-95) at SR 842/Broward Boulevard from west of SW 24 Avenue to east of NW/SW 18 Avenue and on I-95 from north of Davie Boulevard to south of Sunrise Boulevard.

PROJECT PURPOSE AND NEEDThe primary purpose of this study is to develop and evaluate design concepts to improve traffic flow to and from I-95 and along Broward Boulevard, connectivity between the I-95 Express Lanes and Broward Boulevard, and intermodal connectivity. More efficient connections between the I-95 Express Lanes and Broward Boulevard, as well as the surrounding intermodal facilities, are desired. The proposed improvements will address automobile, transit, bicycle, and pedestrian modes and will ensure the study area continues to meet mobility and safety goals as travel demand continues to grow.

The primary need for this project is to reduce traffic congestion, provide additional system connections, and plan for the long-term multi-modal options of the Broward Blvd. Park and Ride Lot and Transit Station.
