Comments:

Broward County conducted a Transit and Housing Oriented Redevelopment (THOR) initiative in 2008, which relied on information gathered during a Corridor Charrette to plan and direct redevelopment along the SR7 transportation corridor. THOR’s goal was to protect existing residential neighborhoods while addressing livability issues such as walkability and affordable housing. Input was gathered through a series of public meetings. The initiative's geographic boundaries include areas a quarter mile east and west of SR7, between Peters Road/ Davie Boulevard and I-595. - Information from SFRPC's ""10 Years Down The Road"" 2011 report on the State Road 7 Collaborative
