Oakland Park just finished repaving over a third of City streets. Close to eight miles of roadways east and west of I-95 were repaved with the assistance of $2.8 million in transportation surtax funding. Broward County voters approved the “Penny for Transportation” one-cent surtax in 2018 to fund a 30-year Mobility Advancement Program (MAP Broward) to enhance transportation throughout the county.
The City owns and maintains about 21.8 miles of roadways in Oakland Park. These roads do not include major corridors such as Dixie Highway, Oakland Park Boulevard, or Commercial Boulevard, which other jurisdictions maintain.
In 2017, Oakland Park conducted a citywide pavement survey to assess roads and generate a Pavement Condition Index (PCI), a national standard for measuring pavement conditions. PCI Condition Ratings are Good, Satisfactory, Fair, Poor, Very Poor, Serious, and Failed. Survey results for city-owned and maintained roadways in Oakland Park reflected an overall roadway rating of 81, or satisfactory, on a scale of 1 to 100. Surtax funding was used to repave roads deemed most in need of repair.
The City selected All County Paving to improve the roads following a competitive bidding process. Paving began in September 2023 and was completed in February 2024. The City will complete street restriping in March 2024.
The resurfacing project is part of a comprehensive effort to enhance major corridors, improving roadway appearance and functionality. Oakland Park has recently invested millions into roadway improvements throughout the City, including resurfacing and landscaping projects on Powerline Road, Prospect Road, NW 21st Avenue, Andrews Avenue, and Park Lane.
