Connectivity
Adjacent to the Horizon of Oakland Park redevelopment project, the City of Oakland Park has been recommended by the Florida Department of Transportation Technical Analysis team as the location for a commuter rail stop as part of a new proposed commuter rail system offering passenger rail from Aventura in Miami-Dade County to Deerfield Beach in Broward County (approximately 27 miles). The proposed commuter rail system will expand existing passenger rail service, relieving traffic congestion, improving connectivity and transportation choices, fostering economic development, and promoting sustainable land use through transit‐oriented development. Additionally, the commuter rail stop will increase foot traffic and create greater ease of access to Oakland Park’s growing Downtown.
