Summary Explanation/Background
PUBLIC WORKS DEPARTMENT/HIGHWAY CONSTRUCTION AND ENGINEERING DIVISION RECOMMENDS APPROVAL.
On January 23, 2018 (Item No. 4), the Board of County Commissioners adopted Resolution No. 2018-019 supporting road enhancement projects in partnership with the Broward Metropolitan Planning Organization and the Florida Department of Transportation to enhance bicycle and pedestrian safety along designated roadways in Broward County. Included in the list of projects is Lyons Road from the C-14 Canal to Sawgrass Expressway.
Lyons Road from the C-14 Canal to Coconut Creek Parkway and from Sample Road to the Sawgrass Expressway is a County Road within the City of Coconut Creek. The Lyons Road Mobility project is a collaborative effort among Broward County, the Broward Metropolitan Planning Organization, the Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT), and the City of Coconut Creek.
On May 7, 2019 (Item No. 5), the Board of County Commissioners approved the Highway Maintenance Agreement for the Lyons Road improvement project to allow FDOT and its contractors to enter County right-of-way and construct the project. Improvements include milling and resurfacing, installation of bike lanes, filling in missing sidewalk, installation of patterned pavement crosswalks at selected signalized intersections, light pole relocation, signage and pavement markings.
This item seeks Board approval of an Agreement between Broward County and the City of Coconut Creek for the installation and maintenance of patterned pavement crosswalks on Lyons Road at its intersections with NW 6th Manor, Coconut Creek Parkway, Wiles Road, Winston Park Boulevard and St. Andrews entryway (Exhibit 1). Under the Agreement, following construction and installation of the crosswalks by FDOT as part of the Lyons Road Mobility Project, the City will undertake and continue the ongoing maintenance of the patterned pavement crosswalks at these intersections. The City executed the Agreement on February 13, 2020 and submitted it to the County on January 28, 2021 as shown in the City’s transmittal letter (Exhibit 2). Additional requirements were submitted on April 8, 2021 and the Agreement is now ready for the Board of County Commissioners’ consideration.
The Agreement has been reviewed and approved as to form by the County Attorney’s Office and the Risk Management Division.
