HBC Engineering Company | 21 Key Project Elements: • Intersection Improvements: Upgrades at 37 intersections, including ADA-compliant curb ramps, pedestrian countdown signals, enhanced crosswalks, green bike lane delineations at conflict zones, and updated signage to improve safety and user experience. • Mid-Block Crossing: Installation of a new pedestrian mid-block crossing north of Broward Boulevard featuring high- emphasis crosswalk markings, flashing red arrow for northbound left turns, pedestrian channelizing barriers, advanced warning signage, and upgraded lighting to enhance visibility and reduce crash risks. • Bicycle and Pedestrian Facilities: Improvements along SR 858 from west of Edmund Road to east of SW 58th Avenue, and along SR 7 from Southgate Boulevard to the Cypress Creek Greenway/C-14 Canal, addressing critical sidewalk gaps, enhancing ADA accessibility, and upgrading existing bike lanes. • Lighting Enhancements: Retrofit and installation of lighting infrastructure at 23 locations, including along the corridor segment from Southgate Boulevard to the C-14 Canal, to improve nighttime safety for all users. Coordination and Stakeholder Engagement: Given the corridor’s regional scale and the need to address jurisdictional complexity, HBC led extensive coordination efforts with 15 municipalities (including Miramar, West Park, Hollywood, Plantation, Fort Lauderdale, Davie, Lauderhill, Coral Springs, and others), the Seminole Tribe of Florida, Broward County, utility agencies, and FDOT. Efforts included negotiation of ROW license agreements, resolution of maintenance responsibilities, and facilitation of stakeholder consensus on design elements such as lighting and traffic control. Technical and Logistical Challenges Overcome: • Secured 10 ROW licenses and 4 maintenance maps critical to project implementation. • Obtained SFWMD permits for stormwater-related work within FDOT right-of-way. • Maintained uninterrupted access to businesses and residences during construction through phased implementation and strategic Maintenance of Traffic (MOT) plans. • Incorporated context-sensitive safety measures such as pedestrian countdown timers, green-colored bike lane surfaces at conflict points, and mid-block crossings with enhanced warning systems. Through proactive planning, stakeholder engagement, and technical rigor, HBC delivered design solutions that improved safety and mobility and reinforced the corridor’s role as a regional multimodal spine. The project exemplifies how integrated design can support long-range planning, enhance transit experience, and advance Complete Streets principles across complex urban corridors. building 13.
