Site work and outdoor lighting for a road / highway in Parkland, Florida. Conceptual plans call for site work for a road / highway; and for outdoor lighting for a road / highway.

This project is included in the City of Parkland's fiscal years 2024-2028 Capital Improvement Plan (CIP). As of November 29, 2023, further details regarding design and construction have not been identified. A firm timeline for construction has not been established; however, funding for construction is allotted to fiscal year 2024. A detailed scope has not yet been released. After direction at the December 2022 Strategic Planning workshop to add street lighting to Hillsboro Boulevard from Parkland Bay to University Drive to improve safety, staff provided the City Commission a cost analysis for standard FPL (Florida Power & Light) lighting versus installing decorative lighting. The City Commission voted to proceed with FPLs decorative lighting option. This project will require the City to provide funding to cover initial capital cost to FPL. FPL will install the underground conduit, transformer and circuits in addition to design costs and restoration. FPL will then install the light poles and fixtures. Once completed, the City will incur an additional $82,000 each year in operating cost for these streetlights. Items included in these recurring costs are the decorative poles, energy cost, and maintenance. The roadway is owned by Broward County and will require interagency agreements to allow for the installation of the lighting. That coordination will take place at the end of the design phase, prior to construction. *Project information has been obtained through a public capital improvement plan (CIP).
