President’s Message

Traffic Calming and Safety

Enhancements—Bayview Drive.

t’s been hard to miss all the construction activity throughout the neighborhood
over the last couple months. The Bayview Drive project has moved north of
IOakland Park Boulevard from Coral Ridge into CRCCE. Sidewalks are nearly
complete in Coral Ridge and are in the process of being installed on the west side
of Bayview in our neighborhood. The northern roundabout at NE 47th Street and
Bayview has been installed. The southern roundabout at NE 37th Drive and
Bayview will start soon. There will also be a raised table intersection installed at the
Tim Hernandez intersection of NE 40th Street and Bayview.
President Drainage improvements at NE 47th Street and NE 37th Drive to reduce flooding in
these areas are also being installed. The City has promised they will find funding for
large specimen trees to be installed inside the roundabouts, so drivers will see them
and slow down. Sleeving for irrigation and electric to illuminate the trees is being
OFFICERS installed as part of the project.

Tim Hernandez The two roundabouts and the raised table intersection will hopefully slow down
President
traffic on Bayview and deter some short-cutters from taking Bayview altogether.
Karen Polivka These traffic calming measures will not by themselves prevent people from speeding
Vice President everywhere else along the length of Bayview, but it’s better than what we had.
Craig Singer Over the years we have requested stop signs and speed humps be installed along
Secretary Bayview similar to what exists in The Landings to our north, but those requests have
been rejected by the City and County.
Vicki Lynch
Treasurer We expressed our extreme displeasure to the City and FDOT (which is managing
the construction) with the length of time Bayview has been shut down at NE 47th
Street and the speeding detoured traffic through the neighborhoods, specifically on
NE 40th Street and NE 25th Avenue. We originally agreed to a one-week closure
OFFICERS
which has turned in to five weeks and counting. We have therefore asked that this
“Maintenance of Traffic” fiasco not be repeated when the southern roundabout
Michele Allen
and raised table intersection are installed. So instead of detours through the
Jonathan Brody
neighborhood, the plan is to use flagmen to keep Bayview open while the additional
Renata Cammarata
work is being performed. Through traffic will be routed to Federal between Oakland
Judy High
Park and Commercial. This will be less of an inconvenience to neighborhood
Robert Mayo
residents who will still be able to get through between Commercial and Oakland
Vicki Lynch
Park on Bayview. We might have to wait our turn, as only one lane will be open
Brian O’Connell
at a time in the area of construction, but it will be much more of an inconvenience,
Paige O’Mahoney
for example, for someone using Bayview as a shortcut from Pompano Beach to
Bruce Quailey
Galleria. The idea is once such drivers see they have to wait for flagmen to let them
Jeff Stich
proceed, they will stay on US 1, at least until the project is done.
Traffic Calming and Safety
Enhancements—Speed Cushions.

CORAL R DGE The speed cushion installation has resumed, with the City’s third-party contractor picking
up where the City crews left off. An updated map is provided on page 12. Final
COUNTRY CLUB ESTATES installation locations are subject to change based on City criteria, such as distance to
C OMMUNIT Y ASSOCIA TION intersections and curves and utility conflicts (mostly sewer, water and drainage).
