New sidewalks, ramps and lights coming to Historic Miramar. Here’s what to expect
Miramar is getting started on more road improvements for its complete streets project, repairing the roads of Historic Miramar and making them ADA compliant.
Some roads will get new sidewalks, street lights will be added and so will ADA-compliant ramps.
The agenda for the city commission meeting on Monday, Feb. 23, shows that the city likely will approve phase III and phase IV of the complete streets project.
The city has allocated $2.6 million for phase III. The streets affected will be:
- SW 18th Street from SW 62nd Avenue to SW 60th Terrace
- SW 20th Street, 20th Court, 22nd Street, 22nd Court, 23rd Street and 24th Street from SW 62nd Avenue to SW 61st Avenue
- SW 23rd Street from SW 61st Avenue to S.R. 7
- SW 25th Street, 26th Street, 33rd Street, 37th Street and 40th Court from SW 62nd Avenue to S.R. 7
- SW 61st Avenue from SW 19th Street to SW 25th Street
The city also allocated $1.4 million for phase IV. Both projects would be partially reimbursed by the Florida Department of Transportation, and will go into construction during fiscal year 2026.
Here are the streets affected:
- SW 31st Street from SW 61st Avenue to SW 62nd Avenue
- SW 61st Avenue from SW 30th Street to SW 33rd Street
- SW 34th Street, 39th Street and 35th Court from SW 62nd Ave to S.R. 7
Both projects were selected for funding by the Broward Metropolitan Planning Organization, through a competitive grant program. It funds projects such as “complete streets projects, traffic calming and intersection improvements, ADA upgrades, mobility hubs, bus shelters, bike racks and technology advancements such as transit signal priority,” the phase IV document reads.
Other projects planned for the city this year fall under this category.
These projects were outlined in Miramar’s capital improvement projects budget of $87 million.
Some of that money was allotted to continue the complete streets program in Historic Miramar, and add drainage improvements to prevent stormwater from causing floods.
West of I-75, the city plans to widen Pembroke Road to four lanes and extend it to U.S. 27, and extend Miramar Parkway from SW 192nd Terrace to Pembroke Road.
