Comments:

In May 2016, SFRTA completed a pedestrian access plan for its stations. Some of these projects have been implemented.

SFRTA Pedestrian Access Plan 2016

Completed projects include sidewalks and drainage improvements on the west side of Andrews Ave, pedestrian access along Sample Rd, and a new sidewalk along NW 8th Street. FDOT is conducting a PD&E study for the Fort Lauderdale station, and is taking SFRTA's recommendations under consideration. SFRTA is working with the Broward MPO to determine other improvements that can be funded.

The Treasure Coast Regional Planning Council created the 2010 Palm Beach County Pedestrian and Bicycle Access plan for the SFRTA. This document identified projects in station areas, but left implementation to local governments.
