Comments:

The Broward County Trafficways Plan is a right-of-way preservation plan that identifies the right-of-way requireemnts for different types of corridors.

In 2009, the Broward County Planning Council adopted a Context Sensitive Corridor designation into its Trafficways Plan. Two County roadway segments have been designated context sensitive corridors: Martin Luther King Boulevard in Pompano Beach, and Dixie Highway in Hollywood.

To promote and incentivize the Context Sensitive Corridor designation, the Planning Council waived the application fee for two years between 2009 and 2011. Since 2011, the County's land development regulations have been amended to allow complete streets treatments on County trafficways. Therefore, it is currently not necessary for trafficways to get a Context Sensitive Corridor designation to apply complete streets treatments.

Because the Trafficways Plan is only a right-of-way preservation plan, it does not establish typical sections, and cannot specify where complete streets treatments are appropriate. The Broward MPO is currently working with local stakeholders to develop a Complete Streets Master Plan which will identify corridors for a Complete Streets network.
