Comments:

"The Broward County Comprehensive Plan includes support for the Central Broward East-West Transit Corridor to alleviate traffic on I-595 and for use of the FEC Railroad as an urban transit corridor (Transportation Element Policy 3.4.18). The Comprehensive Plan also requires that the County work toward establishing transit-oriented corridor overlay zoning districts along high-capacity transit corridors (Policy 3.5.8) and requires the County to establish measures to acquire and preserve transit right-of-way and exclusive public transit corridiors (Policy 3.7.3).

Broward County adopted Complete Streets policies into the Broward County Comprehensive Plan on June 10, 2014. Broward County has updatied its comprehensive plan, BrowardNEXT, which includes complete streets policies, including the adoption of the Broward Complete Streets Guidelines, or equivalent principles (BrowardNEXT Policy 2.19.1). These policies address regional issues highlighted by the county, including targeted redevelopment.
