Topics getting the most attention in Hollywood public meetings, ranked by how frequently they are discussed.
4 issues in roads
Carolina Street signal modifications and A1A undergrounding
The big A1A undergrounding and streetscape project got a $59,208 change order and a 240-day extension to finish FPL pole removal and restoration work. The new Carolina Street pedestrian crossing signal should be up in about 45 days.
Hollywood Hills High School traffic and flooding
A resident described daily chaos outside her home near the high school — parents U-turning mid-street, kids crossing dangerously, and chronic flooding on Sarazen Drive that the city promised three years ago to fix.
Downtown walkability and food trucks
A restaurateur got a code violation for hosting food trucks in his own parking lot because of the 200-foot rule. The commission directed staff to review the aging ordinance, possibly letting restaurants opt in if parking works out.
Gracewood Sidewalk Network Project
The city locked in a $200,000 federal Vision Zero safety grant (with $50,000 match) and picked Kimley-Horn to design new Gracewood neighborhood sidewalks.
