Comments:

Oakland Park sees the future Brightline intercity passenger rail service from Miami to Orlando and potential future Tri-Rail Coastal Link commuter rail service as potential catalysts for its Local Activity Center, and hopes that Oakland Park can be a future station for Tri-Rail Coastal Link service. The City already owns the land within the general station area, and they have designated this area as a mixed use zoning district and have developed design guidelines.

The City is pursuing potential additional property acquisitions in the station area, and is unsure exactly where the station would be located. The City was recently selected to receive a planning grant from the South Florida TOD Grant Program, in which TCRPC will help the City develop a form-based code for the station area.
