Information from SFRPC's "10 Years Down The Road" 2011 report on the State Road 7 Collaborative:
The importance of SR 7 as a major north-south regional connection was increased when the University Drive connection between Broward and Palm Beach counties was removed from local thoroughfare plans. The area is bounded by Sample Road in Broward County, Glades Road in Palm Beach County, Florida’s Turnpike, and the Everglades. FDOT, along with a multi-jurisdictional working group, developed a Transportation Network Needs Assessment, part of a three-step mobility action plan that was framed during a meeting of all interested parties convened.
The second part of the plan is development of a Common Vision for SR 7 across county lines. The Palm Beach and Broward Metropolitan Planning Organizations have undertaken land-use and transit-supportive design studies to identify the common vision, and FDOT has provided coordination support. The SR 7 Coordinating Committee, composed of land use, transportation and regional planning agencies, studied the function of the Corridor in the framework of the larger development pattern and the associated transportation network.

Since the 2011 report: FDOT has worked with local partners including MPO's, transit agencies, and municipal governments to create an Aspiration Future Vision Map for the I-95 corridor. Along with this map, FDOT has developed a database of Objectives, Strategies, and Examples to further the goal of working towards a common vision in the corridor.
