RESOLUTION NO.
A RESOLUTION URGING CONSTRUCTION OF A TRAFFIC LIGHT AT THE
INTERSECTION OF PINE ISLAND ROAD AND N.W. 57TH STREET.
WHEREAS, N.W. 57th Street was constructed as a major East/West
thoroughfare, and
WHEREAS, for many, many years N.W. 57th Street was considered to be
Commercial Blvd., and
WHEREAS, during the period when N.W. 57th Street was considered as
Commercial Blvd. there was much construction adjacent to said street, and
WHEREAS, upon completion of Commercial Blvd., west of N.W. 63rd
Avenue, 57th Street's usage has somewhat declined, and
WHEREAS, there are still many hours during the week when use of N.W.
57th Street is extremely heavy, and
WHEREAS, N.W. 57th Street is located less than 600 feet from
Commercial Blvd., and
WHEREAS, Broward County staff has been using this 600 foot
measurement as the barrier to the erection of a traffic light at the
intersection of N.W. 57th Street and Pine Island road, and
WHEREAS, this distance does not detract from the existence of the
need for the traffic light, and
WHEREAS, there have been vehicular accidents at the intersection,
and
WHEREAS, there has been traffic congestion at this intersection, and
WHEREAS, synchronization of a traffic light at N.W. 57th Street and
Pine Island Road with the traffic light at Commercial Blvd. and Pine Island
Road would appear to be extremely feasible, and
WHEREAS, lack of a traffic light at the intersection of N.W. 57th
Street and Pine Island Road could delay some response time of EMS vehicles and
Fire Department equipment crossing Pine Island Road, and
WHEREAS, there already are numerous other places in the County where
traffic lights are less than 600 feet apart, and
WHEREAS, the City Council finds and determines that it would be in
