Parking Enforcement Operation Underway

Beginning this week, owners of vehicles with 10 or more unpaid parking citations with the City of Hollywood run the risk of having their vehicle immobilized. Several months ago, the City’s Parking Division partnered with the State of Florida Department of Motor Vehicle to place a hold on vehicle registration renewals for chronic offenders with multiple delinquent citations. Following the implementation of this partnership, and on the heels of multiple notices from the City, and the City’s collection agency, beginning on Monday, vehicle owners who have chosen to remain delinquent may find their vehicle immobilized if parked on a City street or in any other City parking facility at any time, whether it is legally parked or not. All fees must be paid in full to the Parking Office prior to the removal of an immobilization device. The device will remain in-place for a maximum of 3-day before a vehicle is towed, impounded, and stored at the owner’s expense.

The City Code of Ordinance 72.156 authorizes the use of motor vehicle immobilizing devices for those with three or more citations. Enforcement will continue as the focus narrows to those with three or more citations.

FDOT Sheridan Street Bridge Rehabilitation Project

Full Bridge Closure over the Intracoastal Waterway

The SR 822/Sheridan Street Bridge over the Intracoastal Waterway is fully for closed for approximately 90 days. Eastbound traffic will be detoured via US-1, Hollywood Boulevard, or Dania Beach Boulevard. Westbound traffic is being detoured via SR A1A, Hollywood Boulevard, or Dania Beach Boulevard. Access to local traffic and the Anne Kolb Nature Center will be maintained at all times via eastbound SR 822/ Sheridan Street before the bridge. Pedestrian access is also detoured.

Project improvements include installing bicycle-friendly/anti-slip walking plates along the bridge’s moveable spans, removing existing curb and adding a 32-inch traffic barrier between the sidewalk and roadway, removing and replacing the outer pedestrian railing, adding new pedestrian gates in each direction, renovating the existing tender house, upgrading electrical and mechanical components, and access platforms on the bridge.

Sunday-Fridays, between 8 p.m. and 6 a.m.
