Where are your transportation surtax dollars going?
As Fort Lauderdale’s Vice Mayor and a member of the Broward MPO Board, I work with local, county, and regional leaders to help prioritize transportation investments that improve safety, mobility, and quality of life throughout our city.
More than $164 million in transportation improvements have been completed, are underway, or are planned in Fort Lauderdale through 2030.
Some of these investments include:
✅ South Ocean Drive Bridge Improvements
✅ Andrews Avenue resurfacing and bike lane improvements
✅ Cypress Creek Road resurfacing, bike lanes, sidewalks, and fiber optic network upgrades
✅ NE 62nd Street resurfacing, bike lanes, and intersection improvements
✅ Citywide sidewalk construction and maintenance projects
✅ Adaptive traffic signal improvements along Commercial Boulevard, Sunrise Boulevard, Broward Boulevard, SE 17th Street Causeway, and other major corridors
✅ School safety improvements near Bayview Elementary, Stranahan High School, and other schools
✅ Drainage improvements throughout the city, including Andrews Avenue, McNab Road, NW 21st Avenue, and NE 56th Street
✅ Community shuttle service funding
Looking ahead, additional investments are planned for the NE 26th Street Mobility Project, SW 14th Avenue and Middle Street improvements, multiple bridge replacements and upgrades, roadway resurfacing projects, bicycle and pedestrian enhancements, school safety projects, and drainage improvements throughout Fort Lauderdale.
These projects aren’t just about transportation. They’re about improving safety, reducing congestion, enhancing drainage, creating better bicycle and pedestrian connections, supporting economic development, and investing in the long-term future of Fort Lauderdale.
I will continue working to ensure taxpayer dollars are invested wisely and that Fort Lauderdale receives its fair share of regional transportation funding.
