A1A Corridor Conceptual Streetscape Study
Existing expanses of asphalt within the A1A Corridor spanning from Oakland Park Boulevard to the northern City limit promote high vehicular speeds and limit opportunities for pedestrians and bicyclists. The City’s traffic engineering consultant, Kimley-Horn and Associates, Inc. has completed a draft report on a Lane Reduction Feasibility Study addressing whether this section of State Road A1A can be reduced from six lanes to four lanes. The study concluded the following:
- The corridor under study can accommodate expected traffic volumes at signalized intersections with the lane reduction;
- The proposed lane reduction will not affect future levels of service on adjacent or parallel facilities;
- A corridor safely accommodating all users should reduce the number and seriousness of crashes;
- Options benefitting all roadway users are available
Following the Kimley-Horn Study, Glatting Jackson Kercher Anglin was engaged to prepare conceptual design options that illustrate the roadway segment, pedestrian hardscape treatment, site furnishings and landscaping based upon four-lane scenarios. The options include four scenarios ranging from restriping the existing roadway and incorporating bike lanes, to relocating existing curbs, expanding sidewalks and accommodating new bike lanes, including on-street parking and street trees.
