Wiles Road from Riverside Drive to Rock Island Road is a County road located in the City of Coral Springs. The Wiles Road Project is jointly funded by Broward County and the Florida Department of Transportation through a County Incentive Grant Program Agreement approved by the Board of County Commissioners on June 3, 2014 (Item No. 8). The project includes, widening of this approximately one-mile segment from four to six lanes and installing complete streets elements such as, designated bicycle lanes and sidewalks, drainage, landscaping, irrigation, street lighting and signalization improvements.
During design development, it was identified that a drainage easement and a small parcel of land were required to facilitate roadway alignment and drainage. The City of Coral Springs and Sunshine Water Control District were notified and agreed to provide the County with the necessary easement and property, respectively.
A. The easement from the City of Coral Springs will allow drainage, retention and outflow of surface water from the recently expanded Wiles Road to a portion of Whispering Woods Park. Whispering Woods Park is a city park located at 7701 Wiles Road in Coral Springs and identified by Folio Number 4841-11-08-0030.
B. The Sunshine Water Control District has agreed to convey a 350-square-foot portion of its property located east of 7380 Wiles Road and identified by Folio Number 4841-14-04-2760. Accepting title to this property will allow the Wiles Road Project to be constructed in accordance with the existing drainage and sidewalk design, eliminating time and costs associated with revising the plans.
All documents have been reviewed and approved as to form by the Office of the County Attorney.
