Pedestrians and cyclists are expected to have an easier time navigating Coral Springs with a handful of planned improvement projects. City planners and consultants looked at traffic and crash data, fielded citizen complaints and walked the city to identify five areas to improve mobility, connectivity and ADA access for those not traveling by vehicle.
The city came up with a list of corridors of concern, then associated with Kimley-Horn, a planning and design consulting firm, looked at the data and walked around Coral Springs to get a boots-on-the-ground assessment of the highest priority areas.
The 33rd Street improvements near Broward Health Coral Springs were encouraged by the Community Redevelopment Agency, which is spearheading changes to the downtown mixed-used area, according to city planners. As more businesses are expected to come to that area, the city is putting in walking paths to provide greater connectivity when the time comes.
