OurRecommendations Immediate/Short‐Term
• Revisit traffic counts after I‐75 ramp opens• Correct ADA ramps• Relocate/add pedestrian push buttons• Signing and marking improvements• Analyze signal cycle length
Interim/Mid‐Term• Additional lanes• Remove free‐flow right turn at Red Road• Bike lane improvements/add bike signal• Shared‐use path
Long‐Term (ICE)• Intersection reconfiguration at Flamingo/Red Road and Flamingo/Pembroke
