Broward County is planning a redesign of the busy Pembroke Road and Palm Avenue intersection that divides Miramar and Pembroke Pines.

Residents can weigh in on proposed improvements at a public meeting this month.

FULL STORY: Busy Miramar-Pembroke Pines intersection set for redesign. Your input is sought

Here are key takeaways:

  • The meeting: Broward County Commissioner Alexandra P. Davis is hosting a public information meeting from 5:30 to 7:30 p.m. on Tuesday, May 19, at the Charles F. Dodge City Center, 601 City Center Way in Pembroke Pines.
  • The goal: County officials aim to enhance traffic flow and improve safety for all users at the intersection as growth continues in both cities.
  • Funding source: The project is part of the county’s Mobility Advancement Program (MAP Broward), funded through the transportation surtax.
  • Why this intersection matters: Pembroke Road runs east-west and connects drivers to Florida’s Turnpike and Interstate 75. Palm Avenue runs north-south, linking Miramar and Pembroke Pines neighborhoods.
  • Traffic pressure: The intersection handles a mix of local traffic, school routes and regional commuters, often leading to congestion during peak hours.
  • How to participate: Attendees can speak with project representatives and learn how proposed changes could affect traffic, safety and neighborhood access. Advance registration is available through an online link provided by the county.
