Convert middle lanes into a Bus Rapid Transit or Light Rail. Okeechobee is so dangerous with speeding up, slowing down, speeding up, slowing down, and just terrible design. Redevelop north side near West Gate to be more "urban" fronting street, reducing turning traffic

Build a 3 Lane Bridge above Okeechobee Bvld. and Build a Busway That has Buses every 10-15 minutes From the Proposed Transit village or Palm tran bus loop to Wellington Green Mall The Bus way could start at Proposed Transit village continue Down Okeechobee to SR 7 to wellington Green. Have a Bus station There so People can transfer to Local Routes like a express bus to Belle Glade.
The stations could Be on the North or southside of Okee with a Station at Church st. Chillingsworth Just West of Congress Near Westward Plaza Palm Beach Lakes Waboso Okee and Military
Tr. With Pedestrian Crossing over intersection Haverhill Century Village and TPK Jog and okee Golden lakes Sainsbury ln and Sr7 and okee then Head south Belvedere and SR7 and Southern and SR7 and Pioneer SR 7 and old Hammock Wellington Regional and The Mall of Wellington Green. This could Mean a quick trip from Downtown to Wellington in Maybe 20 Minutes Then From There you could have feeder routes Through the Western communities I think this would be a sensible transportation asset ans also could encourage Transit oriented Development.Liked 0 times

It takes 20-25 min to travel the SR 7 study corridor on midday Saturday. Additional approved traffic signals not constructed yet such as the HD/Lowes entrance will compound to the problem. Poor perceived signal coordination increases aggressive driving between intersections.
