5 issues in roads with medium priority
Tarpon River and Shady Banks neighborhood improvements
A $1.96 million state-funded street improvement plan got deferred after a River Oaks leader said it's built on a ten-year-old traffic study and ignored residents' objections to a roundabout. It comes back November 17.
Himmarshee Tactical Urbanism and Streetscape Beautification Plan
A cheap, temporary makeover — parklet, lighting, planters, safety delineators — for Himmarshee Village, testing what a daytime-friendly streetscape could look like. The DDA thinks the money should wait for a bigger strategic plan; the area's commissioner wants to try it.
Microtransit Program Expansion
The tentative budget adds $1.58 million for the city's microtransit on-demand ride service, one of the biggest single adjustments since the July proposed budget.
Galt Mile safety funding and fireboat replacement
State Rep. Chip LaMarca was scheduled to present a $1,893,078 check for Galt Mile street safety improvements and a fire rescue fireboat replacement.
MicroTransit Service Transition
A $1.16 million amendment would move the Circuit Transit on-demand shuttle service from a Pompano Beach piggyback contract to the city's own agreement, covering Downtown and Galt Mile.
