BACKGROUND:
Broward MPO staff has invited local municipalities to apply for grant funding to study the potential for future Mobility Hub locations in areas of mixed-use development and redevelopment within or adjacent to public transportation facilities, proximity to employment centers, schools, and destinations along with other land use elements. This grant opportunity includes the following elements: an evaluation and context, market analysis, design concepts, and a supportive implementation strategy. If the application is approved, the Broward MPO will conduct the Mobility Hub Master Plan study on the City’s behalf.
DISCUSSION:
The Broward MPO has requested that the City adopt a resolution expressing support for the proposed Mobility Hub Master Plan for which the City is requesting funding.
