The City of Hollywood worked with FDOT during the SR7 road widening project. As part of the road widening, FDOT purchased a strip of commercial for right-of-way and planned to construct four drainage ponds with a rural cross-section. The City seized on the opportunity to improve this property further, and the City's engineers and architects worked with FDOT to turn this space into a park with covered bridges, low level pedestrian lighting, bike paths, and a kiddie playground that will link the retail uses and transit service with park space, and could eventually provide a pedestrian connection to the residential neighborhoods in the future if they desire it. Renderings of the improvements are available on the City's website.
