Coconut Creek residents will see improvements to the sidewalks along Sample Road.

During the October 23 meeting, the commission approved a resolution to allow the mayor to execute the first amendment to the interlocal agreement between Broward County and the city. This agreement is for the construction of sidewalk improvements in the right-of-way of Sample Road, associated with the surtax-funded municipal transportation project known as Sample Road Improvements.

The total cost will be $2,432,402. The Broward County Penny for Transportation Surtax Mobility Advancement Program (MAP) awarded the city a grant for the design and construction of the Sample Road Improvements Project from Lyons Road to the Tradewinds Park entrance.

The city and county entered an Interlocal Agreement (ILA) in September 2023 to receive grant funding for the project's design. The city has completed the design phase of the project and obtained all necessary permits from the Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT), which is the right-of-way owner.

The commission determined it is in the best interest of the city's residents to enter into the first amendment to the ILA with Broward County to complete the construction phase of the Sample Road Improvements project, according to city information.
