Based on community feedback, the project will no longer pursue the One-Way Pairs concept and will instead keep the current traffic flow, focusing on adding wider sidewalks, shared paths for bikes and pedestrians, and safer places to cross. 

Project History

On January 10, 2023, the City Commission adopted Resolution No. 23-06 approving an interlocal agreement between Broward County and City of Fort Lauderdale for funding of the One-Way Pairs Planning Study utilizing transportation surtax funding. The surtax funding combined with general fund grant match and the DDA grant funds is being utilized to fund this study. On February 20, 2025, the City Commission approved an agreement with Kimley-Horn and Associates, Inc. for consultant services to complete the study.

This comprehensive study of multimodal (bicycle, pedestrian, transit, freight, and vehicular) level of service, access, circulation, complete streets roadway design in evaluating the conversion to one-way pairs of Andrews Avenue and NE/SE 3rd Avenue is necessary to develop recommendations that are consistent with the City's goals and objectives. The study area is generally bounded by SR 838/Sunrise Boulevard to the north, SE 17th Street to the south, NE/SE 3rd/4th Avenues to the east, and N Andrews Avenue to the west. The project includes analyzing the following scenarios:

  • Scenario 1: (Counterclockwise Flow): Andrews Avenue Southbound; 3rd Avenue Northbound
  • Scenario 2: (Clockwise Flow): Andrews Avenue Northbound; 3rd Avenue Southbound
  • Scenario 3: (Clockwise Flow): Scenario 2 with Flagler Drive used as the connection to Sunrise Boulevard instead of NE 3rd Avenue/NE 4th Avenue
  • Scenario 4: Multimodal Improvements along Andrews Avenue and NE/SE 3rd Avenue
