The Hollywood CRA Board met on September 3, 2025, to consider consent agenda items, hear public comments on pedestrian safety, approve several project agreements, receive a capital improvement overview, and discuss ongoing issues with wayfinding signage. The meeting included unanimous approvals for routine items and several capital projects, as well as direction to staff on crosswalk studies and signage contract resolution.
As soon as we see that on airlight, turn on, there we go. Top of the morning, everybody. Welcome to City Hall here in the city of Hollywood. Today is September third, 2025. Please rise for the Pledge of Allegiance. I pledge allegiance. Thank you. Roll call, please. Or to Member Hernandez. Here. Or to member Kalari. Here. Like Shark and Tanner. Here. Or it's Member Biedeman. Here. Or to member Gruber. Here. Chair Levy. Here. All right. Any conflict disclosures today? Hearing none, let's go on to nine a.m. citizens' comments. Bob Glickman, followed by Richard Chapesian. So Bob, is it Robert full name, or is it always been Bob? It's Robert, but I've been called a lot of other things as well. Roberto. Robbie. Hey, good morning. Good morning, Bob Glickman, Hollywood Beach. Okay, so we're here to talk about uh myself and Rich Chapezia, and we're here to talk about mid-block crosswalks. We've been trying to get people from FDOT to come down to the uh beach to do an on-site visit visit along A1A, which they finally were able to do. And once they did that, they kind of sort of agreed as long as the moon and the sun and the planets all aligned that we can get mid-block crosswalks. And this is what we're looking for. It was thanks to Chris O'Brien, who was able to set the meetings up for us and to get them and CRA staff and city staff down there so we can discuss it. Okay, this is something that we've been fighting for for our neighborhood. So we're requesting your help in that. There has been no consideration taken into account on the impact residents affected. The required FD intersection control evaluation study was not done. And there was also no bridge study done. These are massive arms, and they are eyesores when we are trying to beautify the area. So we would like to remove those. RFB crosswalks are also known to slow traffic. Most importantly, nobody is crossing at this location, the location at Carolina Street. A lot across the street from the Marriott is used only once a year on the 4th of July. The Bacon Lot North has no plans to be developed in the near future. New proposed skipper's dockside marina entrance is two and a half blocks south of where the proposed traffic light is at Carolina Street. Again, we would not do something that is wrong just because it was previously approved, especially when things have changed. Again, we request two things the postponement of the Carolina Street.
