City staff has worked with a consultant to finalize the SE 15th Street Sidewalk Feasibility Report. Access the full report at TAM SE 15 Street Sidewalk Feasibility Study - Final (PDF). 

We encourage residents and property owners along SE 15 Street to review the concept and provide any feedback to City staff by either calling (954) 828 - 4826 or by emailing transportation@fortlauderdale.gov.

The Transportation and Mobility Department, with the support of the City Commission, have developed a citywide Sidewalk Master Plan with the goal to identify and prioritize sidewalk and sidewalk gap improvements using a data-driven, community-informed approach. The SE 15th Street Sidewalk Feasibility Study is pending additional direction, depending on the prioritization criteria outlined in the newly developed Sidewalk Master Plan.

•  City staff presented the proposed sidewalk/pedestrian pathway concepts to the Harbordale Civic Association on September 10, 2025, at an in-person meeting.
• A public meeting was held virtually and in-person on September 30, 2025, to engage in public feedback regarding the concepts. Notice of the public hearing was sent through postcard mailers, public yard sign postings, and share on the city's project page.

• An in-person walking meeting was held with residents on November 12, 2025, to walk the street and explain what the possible pathway options would look like and their placement.

This option adds either a three-foot or five-foot-wide shoulder where the space allows along the south side of SE 15 Street to create a continuous walking path. The goal is to connect missing sidewalk segments using pavement striping on both sides to clearly define where pedestrians can walk.

To make room for the pathway:

• Some assigned parking areas may need to be adjusted
• A portion of the existing landscaping or green space would be reduced
• In narrow areas, the path would be reduced to a minimum of three feet, while still allowing space for two vehicles to park in tandem
• A buffer will be added where space allows
• Some areas of pavement would need to be reworked to meet ADA standards, especially near travel lanes and parking spaces

This alternative is designed to improve walkability while maintaining on-street parking where possible.
