Figure 12. Broward County Trafficways Plan Legend Source: Broward County Planning Council, May 2020
The Trafficways Plan is implemented through the local development review processes and separate local ordinances. Parcels required to plat, and in some cases those exempt from platting, must dedicate, by deed or easement, right-of-way consistent with the Trafficways Plan. County staff review plats and other development proposals to ensure that proposed uses are consistent with the effective land use designation and the Trafficways Plan. Staff also provide technical assistance to local governments and citizens in interpreting countywide platting requirements. The Broward County Planning Council considers requests for Trafficways Plan amendments, as well as waivers of the right-of-way dedication requirements. A unit of local government, the Broward County Board of County Commissioners, FDOT, or the Broward County Planning Council may initiate amendments to the Trafficways Plan. Council’s review of waivers focuses primarily on the specific characteristics of individual parcels of land and the corresponding impacts of proposed developments. The process for review of waivers or amendments includes review by a Trafficways Review Group, which includes several transportation/mobility related agencies, including the MPO and Broward County Transit. MPO complete streets guidelines are a consideration in such requests, especially if the roadway is in part or whole a Context Sensitive Corridor. A concern of staff in the waiver process is a tendency for local agencies to request reduced right of way widths on context sensitive corridors, as complete streets may still require the full right of way depending on facilities to be incorporated into the design.
