Comments:

The SR 7 Collaborative is regarded as a model for collaboration in corridor planning across multiple jurisdictions. The City of Lauderdale Lakes is spearheading the NW 31st Avenue Corridor Planning Collaborative, and is modeling this effort on the SR 7 Collaborative.

Information from SFRPC's ""10 Years Down The Road"" 2011 report on the State Road 7 Collaborative:

In 2003, the SR 7 Collaborative received a $1.9 million grant from the Federal Highway Administration to fund a Corridor Strategic Master Plan that included tasks to promote smart growth principles, planning studies, and implementation strategies for the future.

The first task was a market assessment for the entire Corridor that was conducted in partnership with the Urban Land Institute (ULI), and included nearly 54,000 new Corridor residential units by 2030, in addition to a mix of retail, office, hotel, and flex space. Initial projections indicated potential new Corridor development was over $17 billion.

The development of each Corridor community’s vision was the next task. The Corridor was divided into 9 distinct planning segments that facilitated seven-day planning charrettes, starting in 2003 and concluding in 2005. Each charrette had a citizen steering committee that engaged local citizens and business sectors in the development and ownership of the plan. The steering committee members were the plan’s “champions” and made certain that the plan was followed. The Design Studio of the Treasure Coast Regional Planning Council, a recognized leader in smart growth through community design and active community participation, conducted each of the charrettes.
