Working Group: Las Olas Boulevard Mobility Project

In 2017 a unified effort was launched to evaluate the transportation, landscaping, planning and urban design needs of the Las Olas Boulevard corridor from Andrews Avenue to SR A1A. The effort included extensive stakeholder participation by the Las Olas Working Group established that included residents, business owners and property owners along the entire corridor. Two district commissioners, Vice Mayor Steve Glassman and Commissioner Ben Sorensen led this effort. The efforts of the Working Group included hearing presentations from the various stakeholders on their concerns and providing comments on the issues and reviews of the vision through a process that aimed to build consensus on the future of a world-class corridor over a 2.5-year timeframe from September 2018 to June 2021. In June 2021, the Fort Lauderdale City Commission voted to endorse the Las Olas Conceptual Design Visions for the Eastern and Western Corridors below.
