§ Community Oversight Advisory Team– 15 members from 4 cities– 2 members from the county– Technical input
§ Outreach to the Community– Consensus on:
VisionRecommendations
§ Moving Forward– COAT to remain engaged during
PD&E Study
BROWARD MPO FORMS THE “COAT”

Purpose and Need
§ Address limited-access needs
§ Improve linkages of SIS facilities
§ Address local SW 10th Street needs
§ Address safety and operational issues
§ Enhance emergency response andevacuation
§ Enhance social demand, intermodaland economic development
14
Regional Connectivity
§ Close the network gap toimprove mobility

Alternatives Analysis
§ Develop/refine with input from thepublic, local governments andagencies§ Meet purpose and need§ Avoid or minimize impacts to the
community and environment§ Matrix for comparison§ No Action Alternative
20
Alternatives Analysis
§ Two facilities to be evaluated– Express Lanes
• Entrance / exit ramp locations betweenPowerline Road and Military Trail
§ Extent of the below-grade section beingevaluated
– Local roadway• Lower-speed• Bicycle lanes• Sidewalks
21
One Idea…
§ Center Express Lanes§ Local SW 10th Street on each side§ Extent of below-grade section being evaluated
22
Another idea…§ North-side Express Lanes§ Local SW 10th Street on south side§ Extent of below-grade section being evaluated
23
Environmental Analysis
§ Natural Environment– Threatened and endangered species– Wetlands habitat
§ Physical Environment– Air quality, contamination– Noise
§ Cultural and Socio-Cultural Environment– Historic and archaeologic– Parks and recreation– Multimodal accommodations
24
Noise Analysis§ Key Concern
– Future noise levels– Adjacent communities may
require noise abatement
§ Noise-Sensitive Sites– Seven residential communities– Three recreational– One commercial
§ Detailed Noise Analysis– Identify noise-sensitive sites– Measure noise– Noise modeling to determine if/
where and what type of abatement isneeded
= Residential
= Commercial
25
Future Landscape Projects
§ SW 10th Street from Powerline Road to Westof Military Trail– After roadway construction– Budget: $3M
§ I-95 from South of SW 10th Street to theBroward / Palm Beach County Line– After roadway construction– Budget: $1M
