Enhancement activities that the proposed project will address include:
Provision of facilities for pedestrians and bicycles
Landscaping and other scenic beautification
2 (a) planning activities
Engineering and final plans preparation work
2. (b) The landscape enhancement of Federal Highway has many direct
relationships to the intermodal transportation system with regard to
function, proximity, and impact. First, Federal Highway is a major artery
that runs the through the eastern corridor of South Florida, boldly
revealing the image of each city it runs through. Federal Highway is the
spine of the City of Dania Beach, serving as its most significant north-
south thoroughfare. Its average daily .traffic count is approximately
47,000. An innovative landscaping and streetscaping plan will greatly
enhance this major state thoroughfare.
Federal Highway also contains portions of routes for the Broward
is County Transit System and a pending shuttle system (a collaboration
between Broward County Transit and the City of Dania Beach) that is
expected to be formalized in October 2000. Finally, the intersection of
Federal Highway and Dania Beach Boulevard forms the core of Dania's
downtown. (See Exhibit "Main Street Enhancement Plan")
2. (c) The project is located from the north boundary of the City, just
south of the Dania Cut-off Canal and the City of Fort Lauderdale south
to Northwest 3rd Street. This comprises the northward entrance to the
heart of the downtown, an area viewed daily by many local business
people and area shoppers. Federal Highway acts as an artery for many
commuters; from Ft. Lauderdale; the airport; the seaport; the City of
Hollywood and Hallandale among other cities; and thousands of tourists
. (See Exhibit "Main Street Enhancement Plan, sheet #3")
2. (d) Because-the project has the potential to beautify the downtown
district, it has the unique opportunity to make Downtown Dania Beach a
destination rather than a conduit to other locations. This will enhance
the City's image. The attachment illustrates a variety of enhancements
to serve both aesthetic and functional ends (See Exhibit "Main Street
Enhancement Plan — Sheet #14").
The aesthetic needs are served with period lighting, landscape-
enhanced sidewalks, and landscaped medians. These aesthetic
functions augment the pedestrian appeal of the city and create a safer
atmosphere for pedestrian traffic. As the plan illustrates, the wider
sidewalks, coupled with the landscaped median will serve to slow traffic
while offering a more inviting atmosphere for pedestrians at the same
time.
2. (e) The City of Dania Beach has several maintenance agreements for
both Dania Beach Boulevard and Federal Highway. The City of Dania
Beach will negotiate with the Florida Department of Transportation in
order to specify the City's sole responsibility for the maintenance of the
upgrades. .
2. (f) None
2. (g) The project area has already undergone improvements. Sample
landscape areas have been completed on both Federal Highway and
Dania Beach Boulevard with great support of the City and residents. We
are seeking,funds to completely revitalize the aforementioned section of
Federal Highway.
Related improvement projects are as follows:
Main Street
• This phase of the application contains sections in the historic antique
district that is soon preparing for further rejuvenation through the Main
Street Program. This adjoining area contains shops, cafes, art galleries
and other community oriented businesses. Local community leaders
have gained major community support to accomplish this downtown
rejuvenation project, which will contain many architectural upgrades to
the district. The city commission recently allocated $20,000 to Main
Street Inc. for the purpose of financing an interest buyback program as
an incentive for aesthetic and structural improvements in the downtown
area. A similar program has demonstrated a high level of success in
Delray Beach.
Dania Beach
The beach area has now undergone extensive renovations with new
landscaping to serve the growing needs of the many residents and
tourists that visit this area each year. Natural dune vegetation has been
enhanced with sod and shaded parkland. A pier restaurant is also
proposed. The commission is now reviewing response to an RFP issued
by the City and will be conducting the first special meeting to take action
on the applicants on May 1, 2000. The beach is the eastern terminus to
Dania Beach Boulevard.
• The beach area has undergone extensive renovation including
new landscaping to serve the growing needs of the many residents
and tourists that visit this area each year. Natural dune vegetation
has been enhanced with sod and shaded parkland. A Pier bait shop
• and restrooms have been added. A pier restaurant is currently being
negotiated with RFP respondents. The beach is the eastern terminus
to the project area.
0 Enforcement of the City's Downtown Sign Code is in effect after
being on the books for ten years. Several businesses have complied
and have helped to contribute to downtown beautification. A low-
interest loan program is in the final stages that will enable downtown
business owners in the area adjacent to the Campus (the Main Street
Program Area) to remove distasteful signs, or upgrade their parking
lots with landscaping.
• Landscaping at the City's 1-95 interchanges, major thoroughfares
such as Griffin Road, and U.S. I (Federal Highway) are in the
implementation stage. A new Tri-Rail station is nearing completion
along Griffin Road just west of 195.
• The City also maintains an ongoing and active involvement with
the Eastward Ho! Initiative. We have close contact with the
Coordinator of the Project at the South Florida Regional Planning
Council, as well as at the FAU/FIU Joint Center for Environmental
Problems.
•
2. (h) It should be noted that the City of Dania Beach is taking a holistic
view of this enhancement. The plan that has been presented as an
• attachment is based on a series of citizen workshops and discussions
with FDOT and MPO representatives. The city is committed to the
complete revitalization of Federal highway and Dania Beach Boulevard.
This application represents merely one phase of the extensive project.
Furthermore, the city is aggressively pursuing external sources of
funding for this project as the city's recourses are limited.
3. (a).The City of Dania Beach has contracted with a landscape
architect for the design and planning phase of the Governmental
Campus Plan. Public Works Crew members will be responsible for the
installation and maintenance phases. The selection of site furniture and
pavers would also be a part of this planning effort. Complete landscape
installation would be completed by Public Works. All installation labor in
this regard is the city's contribution to this project.
3. (b) The City Commission approved a resolution in support of the initial
grant application at its April 28, 1998 meeting. This application is part of
the same overall project (See Appendix B).
3. (c) The City will own upgrades for the project.
3. (d) although no cash match has been authorized for this application
• the city is committed to providing in kind contributions in the
construction and maintenance of this project. The city is also looking
at other means of securing additional funding such as establishing a
special assessment district and/or a community redevelopment
agency.
3. (e) The city's holistic approach to this phased revitalization should be
considered as this lends to the practicability of the project.

Design: $16,500
Hardscaping: $270,000

Re: TEA-21 Applications
Dear Mr. Aschkar:
Enclosed please find the City of Dania Beach's application for the revitalization of Federal Highway-
Phase 1. We feel this project is essential to the economic development of the city. The enclosed "Main
Street Enhancement Plan" clearly illustrates the dilapidated status of this vital corridor within the City
and the holistic approach the City has taken toward the realistic implementation of this revitalization
plan.
Please note that the application is for $500,000. This portion represents a sufficient amount to
implement phase one of the revitalization,as detailed on Sheet#3 of the attached plan.
Furthermore, initial discussions with planning staff at the City of Hollywood lead us to believe that
there may be some benefit to joining applications in an effort to revitalize Federal Highway from Old
Griffin Road to Young's Circle. We would be amenable to modifying our work focus on an alternate
segment of Federal Highway if this proves more feasible to the MPO and FDOT. However, at this point
we feel that the revitalization would have the greatest impact for the City of Dania Beach as a phased
approach beginning with the northern segment of Federal Highway that is the most significant entrance
to the City.
If there are any questions regarding the city's application please do not hesitate to call me at 924-3609.
