5 BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE OF THIS STUDY Broward Boulevard is one of the critical east/west connections between downtown Fort Lauderdale and the communities of Plantation, Lauderhill, and Fort Lauderdale. It serves a mix of land uses, from the Central Business District and high concentration of commercial and office uses east of Interstate 95 (I 95) to the suburban retail and residential uses west of I-95. This study explores ways to improve transit service along Broward Boulevard, focusing on the 8-mile section from Pine Island Road to US 1 (Federal Highway) shown on Figure 1. It was conducted by the Florida Figure 1 - Broward Boulevard Corridor Department of Transportation District 4 (FDOT) in partnership with the Broward Metropolitan Planning Organization (BMPO), Broward County Transit (BCT), Broward County Traffic and Engineering Division (BCT- ED), Broward County Planning and Redevelopment Office, South Florida Regional Transportation Authority (SFRTA), and the Cities of Fort Lauderdale, Lauderhill, and Plantation. The purpose of this study is to identify short-term (implementable in 2-3 years) transit improvements for Broward Boulevard. FDOT and BMPO have been exploring options to provide premium/higher capacity transit service to downtown Fort Lauderdale (known as the Central Broward East-West Transit Study), July 2012 which will determine the long-term transit service in the corridor. The preferred alternative from this study will support the implementation of premium transit and will serve to improve transit operations and increase ridership along Broward Boulevard. Specifically, the purpose of these short-term improvements is to Increase corridor transit mobility; Increase corridor transit ridership; Increase access to transit (bicycle, pedestrian, vehicular); and Improve quality of transit service. Project goals, objectives and evaluation criteria can be found under Purpose and Needs Section of the project report. 1
6 Broward Boulevard Corridor Transit Study TRAFFIC AND TRANSIT CONDITIONS Broward Boulevard currently consists of six general use travel lanes, with a landscaped median. This median limits left turns to signalized intersections and unsignalized intersections to certain key locations. There are sidewalks and intermittent bike lanes on both sides of the roadway, and on-street parking is not permitted. From a traffic standpoint, Broward Boulevard operates fairly well west of I-95 and is regularly congested east of I-95. Broward Daily traffic volumes are highest between east of I-95 and east of SW 7th Ave, with values ranging on average between 71,000 and 58,000. Traffic volumes significantly decrease west of SE 3rd Ave, with the lowest corridor volumes east of SE 3rd Ave (approximately 34,000 on average). West of I-95, traffic volumes are between 35,000 and 50,000 vehicles per day. Pedestrian and bicycle activity is high at various locations, particularly near transit stops. In the downtown, pedestrian and bicycle activity is noted from US-1 to I-95, with the highest activity centered in the vicinity of Broward Central Terminal in the CBD. Coupled with the high activity is the high level of jaywalking across Broward Boulevard near the terminals and other major transit transfer locations. Factors that might be contributing to jaywalking could include the long signal cycles (160 seconds) at the intersections and long distances between signalized crossings. The Florida East Coast Railroad Road has an at-grade crossing on Broward Boulevard immediately to the west of the Broward Central Terminal. When a train crosses Broward Boulevard, it creates intense congestion, delay and queuing. There are currently a number of transit options on Broward Boulevard that provide direct service and transfer connections along the corridor. These include rail service (Tri-Rail and Amtrak) and bus service (BCT fixed route, Breeze, Sun Trolley, I 95 Express, Tri-Rail Shuttle, and Tri-Rail NW Community Link). There are a number of major transfer facilities, including the West Regional Terminal, the Tri-Rail Ft. Lauderdale Station, and the Broward Central Terminal. Several major BCT routes utilize Broward Boulevard for a major portion of their trip (specifically Routes 9, 22 and 81). Five (5) other bus routes use portions of Broward Boulevard near downtown Ft. Lauderdale and others in the vicinity of West Regional Terminal. Also, a number of bus routes cross Broward Boulevard, including the Route US-1 Breeze, Route 441 Breeze and University Breeze. Figure 2 illustrates the existing transit service routes on Broward Blvd in the study area. BCT Route 22 is the main bus route on Broward Boulevard; this route provides bus service between Central Broward Terminal in downtown Ft. Lauderdale and Sawgrass Mills Mall along the Broward Boulevard corridor. Route 22 operates at 15 minute frequency (headway) during the week and 30-minute frequency on weekends. Since BCT Route 22 serves the entire corridor, this study mainly bases analysis and comparison of existing and future conditions on this route. Route 22 has a weekday ridership of approximately 3,580 boardings. It shows one of the highest system levels of Saturday ridership with about 3,560 boardings. Sunday ridership is less than half of Saturday ridership (1,330 boardings). Route 22 has the most passenger activity at Broward Central Terminal, Sawgrass Mills Mall, West Regional Terminal, and SR-7/US 441. Transit travel time through the study corridor, approximately 8 miles, ranges between 62 and 66 minutes during an average weekday peak travel period. This corresponds to an average travel speed of 16.4 to 17.4 miles per hour (mph). Transit travel times are considerably longer than vehicular travel times. More details on the traffic and travel patterns can be found in the Existing Conditions section of the project report. Figure 2 - Existing Transit Service 2 Kittelson & Associates, Inc.
7 DEVELOPMENT AND EVALUATION OF ALTERNATIVES The two-tiered process used to develop and screen alternatives is outlined in the Alternatives Development section of the project report. The long list of strategies identified by the project team, FDOT, and partners were organized into the following categories: Road and Transit Facilities (Runningway Strategies, Roadway/Traffic Operations Strategies, Transit Operation Strategies), Passenger Facilities (Facilities Transfers, Pedestrian/Bike Access, Travel Experience), and Transit Supportive Policies. Descriptions and details can be found in the Alternatives Development section of the plan report. The first tier was used to assess the long list of alternatives/strategies and determine which ones should be carried forward into the detailed alternatives analysis. The screening was performed based on four key elements that related to the ability of the strategy to meet the project needs, goals, and objectives for short-term transit improvements in the corridor. These included time, space, cost, and compatibility with local and regional plans. Based on the Tier 1 screening process, a short list of strategies was develop and approved by the Partners during the July 2011 meeting. Four (4) alternatives were developed using the short list of strategies. These are described in detail in the Alternatives Development section of the project report and are summarized below. Alternative 1: Future Baseline / No-Build The Future Baseline Alternative includes transit and signal capital improvements already programmed and funded. This alternative serves as the basis of comparison for the build alternatives. Alternative 2: Enhanced Local Service The Enhanced Local Service Alternative maintains the current Route 22 scheduled service It includes strategies to reduce delay that currently impacts route performance and to increase access to the system by pedestrians and cyclists. Alternative 3: Enhanced Local Service + Limited Stop/Rapid Service The Enhanced Local Service and Additional Limited Stop/Rapid Service Alternative alters frequency of local service from 15 minute to 20 minute intervals and adds limited stop service from West Regional Terminal at a 20-minute frequency. Broward Boulevard will have a Route 22 bus every 10 minutes. Route 22 Limited Stop Service will not deviate from Broward Boulevard and will extend into downtown Fort Lauderdale. Alternative 4: Enhanced Local Service + Limited Stop/Rapid Service + Business Access and Transit Lane The Enhanced Local and Limited Stop/Rapid Service with Shared Business Access and Transit (BAT) Lane Alternative includes local service with 20-minute frequency, limited stop service at 20-minute frequency, and the conversion of the curb-side lane between SR 7 and 3rd Avenue to a shared lane for buses and right-turns. Limited stop service will not divert off of Broward Boulevard and will extend into downtown Fort Lauderdale. A comprehensive summary of each alternative including strategies per alternative, their costs, and implementing agency is provided Appendix G of the project report. Based on the evaluation results, the Partners collectively agreed to move forward with Alternative 3: Enhanced Local Service + Limited Stop/Rapid Service. The Partners agreed that this alternative met the projects goals and pushed the region to try something new without needing to invest a significant amount of money in infrastructure. Alternative 4: Enhanced Local Service + Limited Stop/Rapid Service + Business Access and Transit Lane was also agreed to be explored in more detail by the Partners, but that this would be a longer term solution. The Partners determined that additional analysis and significant public involvement would be needed in order to truly understand the benefits and impacts of removing a general purpose traffic lane from Broward Boulevard. It was determined that this option could be discussed and assessed as part of the Broward Boulevard Gateway Implementation Project being conducted by the Broward MPO and other various agencies in the Spring of Although Alternative 3 was selected by the Partners at a conceptual level, it was voiced that several details must be worked on collaboratively in the design phase of the project in order for a successful, operational, and safe implementation. Some of these elements include but are not limited to: July 2012 Bus stop locations and design Park-n-Ride at West Regional Terminal Fort Lauderdale Station Pedestrian Connection Branding and Wayfinding Westfield Broward Mall Pedestrian Crossing Plantation Greenway Downtown Loop Funding for the Route 22 Limited Stop/Rapid Service Scheduling for the Local Route 22 and the Limited Stop/Rapid Service 3

9 July 2012 The following next steps are being pursued by FDOT and Partners: Continue close coordination and collaboration amongst the Partners on the future baseline projects and how those interact with one another and with the Broward Boulevard Corridor Transit Study proposed concept. Continue working with the FDOT Planning Office on the ridership projections being prepared in parallel to this project. Prepare a Scope of Services for the design elements necessary to successfully implement Alternative 3. This scope should first be developed by the project team with the FDOT Project Manager. Once a draft has been prepared, the scope should be sent to the partner agencies for review and comment. A face-to-face meeting is ideal for the agencies dealing with corridor-wide elements; this would include the Broward MPO, BCT, FDOT and BCTED. Once a scope has been agreed to, coordination is critical to the success of the proposed concept. The partners should work together and agree to a phased implementation timeline for the proposed concept and its individual elements. Operations funding for the Route 22 Limited Stop/ Rapid Service is critical to the implementation of the proposed concept. A discussion between BCT, FDOT, and the Broward MPO should occur in the near-term to determine how the service will be funded. All other elements listed in Alternative 3 (defined in the previous section Proposed Concept by Partners ) will be advanced from a conceptual level to a design level by FDOT with support from the Partners 5
