Oakland Park Boulevard bus rapid transit
Broward County Transit unveiled plans for center-running BRT stations along Oakland Park Boulevard with 10-15 minute service, starting construction in 2028 and opening in 2030. A resident raised concerns about the turnpike off-ramp and emergency vehicle conflicts.
