When CFA is complete, you’ll be getting your chicken by making a U-turn >right here< on Federal Highway at NE 2nd St, to immediately dart across all 3 lanes to enter the drive through. We don’t need 400 rush-hour cars added to this mix.
As the locals know, we have daily gridlock at this intersection. The re-zoning issue is about safety, not about an ugly vacant lot. The most recent neighborhood traffic fatality was earlier this year when our neighbor Dana was crossing US1 by NE 2nd St. Dana Blanton was killed on Federal Highway when he went through the windshield of a Cadillac walking home. May he rest in peace.
We don’t need re-zoning that would allow 400 rush-hour cars added to this mix.
Traffic is backed up on SB Federal Highway past NE 4th St. on a Wednesday evening.
See that green light at NE 2nd St? That’s where Chick-fil-A diners will be making their U-turn.
Commissioner Parness had a legitimate question when he asked the people in attendance at the 11/6/24 commission meeting, “Who bothered to even attend the Broward County Land Use Amendment meetings?” It’s a very fair question. There are two reasons nobody in the audience raised a hand.
Broward County COVID-19 lockdowns began March 19, 2020 when the county issued a stay-at-home order shortly after Governor Ron DeSantis declared a state of emergency in Florida on March 13, 2020. Travel outside the home was prohibited.
At some point in mid 2021, a developer stapled this paper to an invitation to help plan their new apartment building and mailed it to residents.
That is how everyone learned about the zoning change.
FDOT traffic studies occurred during Covid lockdown too.
Let’s not forget that there is video of the developers’ attorney confirming the fact that this Broward County Land Use Change did not consider Chick-fil-A when determining approval.
Broward County Land Use changed during Covid lockdowns when travel was prohibited.
Yes. Its a death trap.
Boca Bayou had two alternative exits available to use, and one of them was also a failure. Now they have one exit on Royal Palm.
This compound doesn’t have those alternatives.
