Impact analysis
About $4 million in drainage and road-raising work either way, plus roughly $1.6 million for a signal or $2.3 million for a roundabout — right-of-way costs not yet included.
Commuters and residents who use SW 27th Avenue daily would see less flooding, shorter waits, and fewer crashes.
Property owners facing right-of-way impacts at the intersection, though the study found impacts similar for either option.

Board of County Commissioners — November 3, 2026
The board approved the engineering report recommending a $6.3 million multi-lane roundabout over a $5.6 million signal at this congested, flood-prone intersection. The roundabout scored much better on safety, traffic delay through 2048, and benefit-cost ratio, and public input at an August open house shaped the final report.
