Information from SFRPC's "10 Years Down The Road" 2011 report on the State Road 7 Collaborative:

Along with Corridor master planning, the MPO provides funding for the betterment of the area. In the past year alone, the MPO allocated $685,000 planning and engineering funds toward the design/build of transit facilities along the Corridor, as well as $2.8 million for the design/build phase (construction). Broward County Transit and the Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) partnered to make transit bus shelters and amenities a reality. The MPO has also provided $6.145 million for landscaping and other Corridor enhancements, plus $700,000 for pedestrian-safety improvements.

The Broward MPO Complete Streets and Other Localized Initiatives Program (CSLIP) program provides funding for complete streets improvements, which include pedestrian safety and landscaping.
