Riverland Road Traffic Calming Project
Riverland Road between State Road 7 and Davie Boulevard has experienced significant cut through traffic and increased vehicle speeds, which has caused safety concerns for the many users of the corridor. Past traffic studies, planning analyses and extensive community inputs have demonstrated the need for traffic calming solutions along this segment of Riverland Road. City staff met with residents and, with the help of a consultant team, designed the following traffic calming improvements at the following locations:
- Raised intersections at SW 35th Avenue, Riverland Terrace, SW 27th Avenue, SW 21st Street, and SW 19th Street
- Raising existing crosswalks on Riverland Road east of Tortugas Lane and Bimini Lane
- Creating a median refuge island for the existing crosswalk at the driveway located at 3901 Riverland Road
The Riverland Road Traffic Calming Improvement Project is being constructed in partnership with the Broward Metropolitan Planning Organization (MPO) and funded through the Transportation Investments Generating Economic Recovery (TIGER) Grant.
Project Progress
Current Status
This project will construct traffic calming improvements along Riverland Road between State Road 7 and Davie Boulevard to complement the Complete Streets project, which is being constructed by the Broward Metropolitan Planning Organization (MPO) through Transportation Investments Generating Economic Recovery (TIGER) grants.
At the October 7th City Commission meeting, the City Commission approved an additional $323,000 towards the construction of the project.
Next Steps
The agreement for the construction of the traffic calming improvements is anticipated to be awarded at the November 4, 2025, Regular City Commission Meeting. Once the contract has been awarded, City staff will work with the contractor to develop the construction timeline and deliverables.
