As a part of the design team, CHA took on the task of designing an entirely new lighting system throughout the project as well as on side-streets that were impacted by the construction. Our new lighting system consisted of approximately 1,000 new light poles and 100 under deck luminaires. All of this is also required 7 service points. Aside from Florida Department of Transportation and Miami-Dade Expressway Authority standards, we successfully met all applicable Federal Aviation Authority requirements with our design.

These pathways span state highways and local routes, offering extensive access and encouraging healthier, sustainable transportation. Collaboration was key, with CHA working with the Broward County MPO and local municipalities to secure funding. This effort highlighted a shared vision for enhancing regional mobility and creating a more interconnected community for cyclists. The strategy included design tactics like ‘lane diets’ to optimize traffic flow, reducing lane widths for bicycle lanes, and selectively widening roads. Effective drainage was addressed to ensure sustainable infrastructure. Adherence to the ADA was crucial, with evaluations and adjustments to curb ramps to meet accessibility standards, making paths accessible to everyone. The project also introduced Landscape Furnishing Areas (LFAs) to enhance visual appeal and user experience. Thoughtful landscaping, hardscaping, and decorative lighting improved the infrastructure, promoting active transportation and highlighting Broward County’s natural beauty.

This pump has the capacity to move 80,000 gpm and is just one of 80 stormwater pump stations the city will construct within the next 8-10 years to combat the tidal events and sea level rise. The project encompassed an area of approximately 84 acres. As part of this drainage improvement project, a 96-inch trunk line was also constructed in this initial phase. The pipe was designed as a collector pipe to receive flows from Collins Avenue and the surrounding streets; this will be completed in the near future in the final phase. This design was intended to serve as the prototype for the other pump stations that the city plans to construct in the future. In the initial phase of the pump station, trash racks capture solids that are 1-inch or larger before the flow reaches the Collins Canal. The remaining flow is split into trains, with a capacity of 40,000 gpm, and is directed to a water treatment structure and then a wet-well equipped with two 20,000 gpm axial pumps. The pump station has been designed with overflow structures for redundancy and to prevent intrusions from tidal events. This project also included the construction of 200 feet of higher seawall, with a minimum top elevation of 5.70 feet NAVD to ensure our design’s resiliency against future sea level rise.
