G. O. Pompano
O
n March 13, 2018, voters
in the City of Pompano
Beach will be asked to consider
three local ballot questions
approving the issuance of three
General Obligation Bonds (G.O.
Bonds). These bonds are
intended to provide funds to help
reduce traffic, improve public
safety and beautify our commu-
nity’s public spaces and facilities.
The City is referring to this initia-
tive as “G.O. Pompano!” Here’s a
look at some of the key projects
designated for funding in “G.O.
Pompano!”.
1. Streets, Sidewalks, Bridges
and Landscaping Projects - This
bond is designed to upgrade
streets and bridges at various
locations in Pompano Beach and
reduce traffic congestion for bet-
ter commute and travel times.
The measure also makes
improvements to landscaping and
sidewalks. Improvements include
drainage modifications to reduce
flooding, moving overhead utili-
ties underground to reduce
power outages, as well as build-
ing new sidewalks and enhanc-
ing roadway crossings for safer
pedestrian travel.
Infrastructure improvements
will be made throughout the city.
The roads included in the initia-
tive are Dixie Highway, McNab
Road, Martin Luther King Jr.
Boulevard, NE 33rd Street and
A1A from Hillsboro Inlet to Terra
Mar Drive. Improvements will
also be made to the SE 5th
Avenue Bridge, the Terra Mar
Drive Bridge and in the Collier
City and Palm Aire neighbor-
hoods.
2. Public Safety Projects -
This bond measure proposes
improvements to upgrade the
Public Safety Complex, and
replace emergency operation
facilities with a new complex to
reduce emergency response
times and enhance fire and emer-
gency services. Two outdated fire
stations that were constructed
back in the 1970s will be
replaced and a new fire station
constructed. Renovations to
Ocean Rescue Building and
replacement of outdated lifeguard
towers are also part of the initia-
tive and are designed to improve
public safety operations and to
make the City’s beaches safer.
3. Parks, Recreation and
Leisure Projects - This bond will
fund projects in various locations
in the City to beautify public
areas, add and improve green
spaces and enhance recreational
parks. In addition, the 53-year-old
