Transit and Florida Department of Trans- portation (FDOT) banded together to opens in Downtown Hollywood complete these improvements in an effort to revitalize State Road 7 and prepare for future growth and increased traffic, according to the City’s Web site. However, the earliest set construction date for road improvements is Fall of 2012, with an estimated 200 days of construction. Albert Perez, director of Public Utilities for the City of Hollywood, said the project starts with public infrastructure improvements, which include replacing the existing water mains to improve water service and installing a new sewage collection system with two sewer lift stations. These improvements will increase development potential in the area. The water and sewer updates will occur in two phases, with the first phase extending from Hollywood Boulevard north to Atlanta Street. Design and permitting for Julie L. Salarvand, City of Hollywood; Amber Gapinski, Greater Hollywood Chamber of Commerce; Phase I began in January 2009, and bidding Peter Santana, Owner, Satoro Restaurant & Lounge; Marie Suarez, Interim Executive Director, Greater and construction is set for September 2010 Hollywood Chamber of Commerce to June 2012 with an estimated cost of $7.5 million. The second phase extends from Hol- lywood Boulevard to Pembroke Road. Design and permitting is estimated to start in January 2012, and bidding and construction is estimated to start in September 2014 and last until June 2015 with an estimated cost of $3 million. Perez said any property owner located source: Hollywoodfl.org on the new sewer lines must connect to them, but the City will provide ample notification. The State Road 7 project also includes a two-fold road improvement plan. First, FDOT will resurface the roads from south of Stirling Road to Fillmore In order to widen State Road 7, FDOT will need to Street; upgrade signals to mast arms at Taft acquire property - mainly on the east side of the Street; and add landscaping, additional side- road - and will send appraisal notices to proprietors walks, shoulders and bus stops. in January 2010.
