Broward commissioner pushes for Pembroke Road improvements amid traffic concerns
Broward County Commissioner Alexandra P. Davis is voicing strong support for a planned redesign of the busy Pembroke Road and Palm Avenue intersection, calling it a much-needed investment for the community.
And she is inviting those who live in southwest Broward to also voice their support this month for improvemenst to that corridor.
Davis, who represents parts of Miramar and lives in Pembroke Pines, says she sees firsthand how heavily traveled the crossroads are and why improvements are overdue.
The intersection, which connects Pembroke Pines and Miramar, is a key route for local drivers and commuters, but it often experiences congestion during rush hour.
Both are major east–west and north–south intersections. Pembroke Road runs east–west, connecting to major highways like I-75 and Florida’s Turnpike.
Palm Avenue runs north–south, linking neighborhoods in both cities.
“I see firsthand how busy and important the Pembroke Road and Palm Avenue intersection is for our community,” Davis told the Pembroke Pines News in an email.. “A lot of us use this roads every day, and with the way our area continues to grow, it’s clear that improvements are needed.”
On Tuesday, May 19, Davis will host a public information meeting from 5:30 to 7:30 p.m. at the Charles F. Dodge City Center, 601 City Center Way in Pembroke Pines. Residents will have an opportunity to learn more and share input at the event.
Davis says the proposed upgrades — such as adding lanes and improving traffic flow — are designed to tackle those issues directly while prioritizing safety.
“These upgrades will help ease traffic, cut down on delays and most importantly, make things safer for drivers and pedestrians,” she wrote. “I’m looking forward to seeing these improvements move forward because this is exactly the kind of investment our residents need and deserve.”
The project is part of the county’s Mobility Advancement Program. Funding for the project comes from the county’s transportation surtax through its Mobility Advancement Program.
