Hillsborough Corridor Planning & Preservation Best Practices

Transit ROW Related Provisions Orange County does not have specific corridor preservation policies or regulations relative to transit. As in many jurisdictions, the County does regulate the installation, maintenance, and operation of transit facilities in the public right-of-way (Sec. 21-249, Orange County Land Development Code). This includes transit shelters and benches. The transit facilities authorized in this section must meet the setback, sight triangle, and minimum clear recovery zone requirements outlines in the Florida Greenbook. Broward County Broward County is the longest standing example of local corridor preservation and management in Florida. The Broward County Trafficways Plan was developed and adopted in the early 1960’s by the Broward County Area Planning Board, now the Broward County Planning Council. It is a characterized by staff as a countywide transportation “build-out” plan representing the ultimate roadway network then considered necessary to serve future land use in Broward County. This section reviews the methods used to implement the plan and how the County is now integrating context sensitive corridors into its corridor preservation process. Broward County Trafficways Plan Broward County’s corridor preservation plan consists of a map, called the Trafficways Plan, last updated on May 28, 2020 (Figure 11), and a companion document called Documentation of the Broward County Trafficways Plan (1989, as amended). Both are maintained by the Broward County Planning Council and outline countywide procedures and policies associated with right-of-way dedication and preservation.
