The City of Fort Lauderdale is doubling down on its commitment to traffic safety with the introduction of speed cushions in multiple neighborhoods. This initiative is part of a broader campaign to curb speeding and improve the well-being of residents in areas including Lake Aire Palm View, South Middle River, Imperial Point, Knoll Ridge, and Riverside Park.
Installation kicked off on June 5 and will roll out over the course of several months with a tentative completion date of August 15. Crews will be on the job from Monday to Friday, starting at 8 a.m. until 6 p.m., weather permitting, and unexpected events may alter this schedule. Local access for businesses and residents will not be hindered by the work as the project promises minimal disruption. According to the official City of Fort Lauderdale announcement, "Maintenance of Traffic (MOT) signs will be in place to guide drivers around any temporary closures or detours."
While motorists can expect some changes in normal traffic patterns, the city has assured that clear signage will help navigate the alterations. City contacts for this project include MacKendy Philippi, City of Fort Lauderdale Project Manager II, at 954-828-3707, and Kristin Thompson, Acting Deputy Director, Transportation & Mobility, at 954-828-3721. For further assistance, reach out to the City of Fort Lauderdale 24-Hour Customer Service Center at 954-828-8000.
The city extends its thanks to the community for its patience during the execution of the safety improvements and emphasizes the ultimate goal of fostering a safer neighborhood environment for all.
