The U.S. Department of Transportation Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) awarded a $1,500,000 Project Grant under the Reconnecting Communities Pilot (RCP) Discretionary Grant Program (CFDA 20.940) to the Broward Metropolitan Planning Organization (Broward MPO) on November 25, 2024. The grant will fund a project to improve five at-grade intersections of roadways with the Florida East Coast Railroad (FEC) by tunneling the roads under the railroad and providing safe and comfortable pedestrian and bicycle infrastructure in the tunnels. This project will improve connectivity from a transportation disadvantaged area west of the FEC to parks, grocery stores, hospitals, libraries, and jobs on the east side of the FEC. The project is expected to be completed by July 1, 2027.
