The Hollywood Blvd Framework study served as the pilot project for the MPO’s Transportation Resiliency Framework. This study focused on the corridor from Young Circle to the Intracoastal Bridge, identified in the 2045 MTP as particularly susceptible to sea level rise and storm surge. The 9-step framework facilitated a comprehensive assessment of Hollywood Boulevard and its adjacent neighborhoods to understand the corridor’s vulnerabilities to climate change. This holistic approach allowed for a community-driven, project-specific approach to addressing identified vulnerabilities.
Community involvement played a crucial role in this project. A series of public meetings and engagements were held to gather input and feedback from residents and stakeholders. Through these interactive sessions, the community had the opportunity to voice their opinions and concerns. Ultimately, this collaborative process led to the selection of a preferred alternative, which will now progress within the FDOT work program.
