TIGER GRANT MOBILITY NETWORK
Better Streets for a Better Broward.
The Broward Metropolitan Planning Organization (Broward MPO) partnered with the U.S. Department of Transportation , the cities of Fort Lauderdale , Lauderdale Lakes , Oakland Park , and Pompano Beach , as well as Broward County Government and the Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) District 4 to design and construct five mobility projects in Broward that have been uniquely planned to improve the quality of life for those who live, work, and play in Broward.
TIGER Mobility Projects Overview
The Broward MPO's Transportation Investment Generating Economic Recovery (TIGER) Mobility Projects included (5) critical gaps and extended the reach of the existing Broward Regional Complete Streets network to restore safe, multimodal access to community resources for vulnerable populations. The improvements were part of the Broward MPO’s Complete Streets Initiative that has already programmed approximately $300 million in bicycle and pedestrian facilities to create safer, healthier streets for all users.
The TIGER Mobility Projects now provide critical connections within the Broward Regional Complete Streets Network, which focuses on constructing a 70-mile bicycle and pedestrian network in Broward. Many of the region’s large employment centers, educational facilities, civic centers, and tourist destinations in Eastern Broward are located in this area.

TIGER Network Goals & Benefits
FILL IN THE GAPS:
The Regional Complete Streets Network needs to be better connected to improve safety conditions for all users. The completed projects will provide safe and seamless facilities connecting people who chose to either bike or walk to various destinations. The roadways in Broward are among the least safe in the nation for bicyclists and pedestrians. Complete Streets aim to reduce travel speeds and “friction” among modes, creating a safer environment for all ages and abilities.
EXPAND THE NETWORK:
Projects like these help grow the region’s Complete Streets network. By expanding the network, community members are now able reach a larger number of destinations such as shopping centers, colleges, universities, hospitals, parks, places of employment, and other community assets.
CONNECT PEOPLE WITH OPPORTUNITY:
Broward’s most vulnerable residents need safer and more convenient ways to reach destinations that bridge the divide and provide access to opportunity. These projects are in areas with a high concentration of historically vulnerable populations. People who live in these areas have limited choices and their primary mode of transportation is either walking, bicycling or transit.
SENSE OF COMMUNITY:
Healthy and livable communities grow and thrive when active transportation options are available. Complete Streets provide alternatives for active transportation to access everyday needs, improve public health, and enhance quality of life for all.

Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard
Martin Luther King Jr. Blvd
Previous Conditions: This 1.15 mile segment in the City of Pompano Beach consisted of a 4-lane divided roadway with 12 foot travel lanes, 8 foot traffic separator, and no bicycle provisions.
Project Location: Powerline Road to west of I-95
Martin Luther King Jr. Blvd
Completed Improvements: This project resurfaced and reduced through lane widths to accommodate 7’ buffered bike lanes in each direction from Powerline Road to I-95. Existing sidewalks were reconstructed
and retrofitted to ensure they comply with ADA standards. Drainage was enhanced as part of this project. Pedestrian and vehicular lighting was installed, in addition to landscaping. This project completed the missing multimodal facility gap along MLK Jr. Blvd that connects people to economic opportunities east and west of this segment in a safer manner.
What you will see: repaving, bike lanes, crosswalks, sidewalks, landscaping, lighting, buffered traffic strips, curb ramps, ADA improvements
Community Benefits: bikability, walkability, traffic calming, context-sensitive, incremental change, safety, economic revitalization, streetscaping
NW 31 Avenue
NW 31 Avenue
Previous Conditions: This 1.61 mile segment in the City of Fort Lauderdale was a 6-lane divided roadway with 12 foot travel lanes, 15.5 foot median, and no bicycle provisions.
Project Location: NW 31 Avenue from Commercial Boulevard to McNab Road
NW 31 Avenue
Completed Improvements: NW 31 Avenue was repaved and restriped, three travel lanes were reduced from 12-feet to 11-feet and the median width (from Commercial Boulevard to McNab Road) was reduced to make room for a continuous 4-foot bicycle lane. New mast arms were installed at three intersections.
What you will see: repaving, bike lanes, crosswalks, sidewalks, landscaping, lighting, buffered traffic strips, curb ramps, ADA improvements
Community Benefits: bikability, walkability, traffic calming, context-sensitive, incremental change, safety, economic revitalization, streetscaping
Powerline Road
Powerline Road
Previous Conditions: This 1.53 mile segment in the City of Oakland Park consisted of a 6-lane roadway with 11 foot travel lanes, a 15.5 foot median, and no bicycle provisions.
Project Location: Oakland park Blvd to Commercial Blvd
Powerline Road
Completed Improvements: This project repurposed a vehicular outside travel lane to accommodate 7’ buffered bike lanes in each direction. It also included planting opportunities along the entire corridor. The corridor was resurfaced and restriped and included ADA upgrades.
What you will see: repaving, bike lanes, crosswalks, sidewalks, landscaping, lighting, buffered traffic strips, curb ramps, ADA improvements
Community Benefits: walkability, bikeability, streetscaping, traffic calming, safety, placemaking, multi-modal connectivity, economic revitalization.
Lauderdale Lakes Greenway
Lauderdale Lakes Greenway
Previous Conditions: This 0.26 mile multi-use path segment in the City of Lauderdale Lakes was a vital gap in the larger three mile C-13 greenway trail and does not provide pedestrian or bicycle facilities.
Project Location: Lauderdale Lakes Greenway from NW 31st Avenue to NW 29th Avenue.
Lauderdale Lakes Greenway
Completed Improvements: Project extended the Lauderdale Lakes Greenway 12’ multi-purpose path from NW 29th Avenue to the NW 31st Avenue intersection, providing continuous connection to the remainder of the greenway. Project also included pedestrian lighting, landscaping, and aesthetic features. This project is envisioned to attract recreational users, families and will help promote a healthy lifestyle.
What you will see: lighting, landscaping, extended multi-purpose path
Community Benefits: landscaping, amenities, multi-use path, lighting, connectivity, curb ramps, ADA improvements

SW 27 Ave/ Riverland Rd
Segment 1 Completed Improvements: Riverland Road from SR-7 to Davie Boulevard - This Project milled and resurfaced the entire corridor and reduced vehicular travel lane widths from 12’ to 11’ to accommodate bicycle lanes in both directions. It also added continuous pedestrian facilities along one side of the road and installed pedestrian signals at one intersection to enhance the safety of school children that walk along this corridor. The character of the road was maintained by preserving the beautiful tree canopy that already exists. Shade and landscaping are important Complete Streets elements that need to be maintained to preserve the experience of residents who travel along this segment. It also included Internally illuminated reflective pavement markings (IIRPMs) to clearly the bicycle facilities.
SW 27 Ave/ Riverland Rd
Segment 2 completed Improvements: Davie Boulevard to Broward Boulevard – this section was milled and resurfaced for the purpose of restriping the existing lane configuration to repurpose a single vehicular travel lane in each direction to provide buffered bicycle lanes. the project also installed pedestrian signals at one intersection to enhance the safety of school children that walk along this corridor Internally illuminated reflective pavement markings (IIRPMs) will also be installed throughout the entire project to more clearly delineate the travel lanes and bicycle lanes in low-light conditions.
