For several years, the City of Lauderhill has tried to work with Broward County on new walls on Pine Island Road when the county widens the road. Funding for the road widening is from county gas tax revenues, and Lauderhill has been unable to stop the county from going forward.
Following the wishes from the residents in the area, the city worked to mitigate the problem as much as possible to provide as much safety and privacy as it could. Since this project is owned and managed by Broward County, Lauderhill has been told that construction will start in Jan '09 and that Contractor will start first with the west side (southbound) widening. It is anticipated that construction along Lauderhill's side will start after April '09.
The City did obtain an agreement with the County to erect the wall while the road work is done in the city's boundary, so Lauderhill is expected to finish the design plans by mid January '09 in order to facilitate the construction process. The new wall barrier will be placed as a replacement of the existing fence/wall.
