Davie Update

By Mayor Judy Paul

June 5 will be a busy day. The Town will sponsor and present a drive-by graduation ceremony at Western High School in the morning and Davie/ Cooper City Relay for Life will be held in the evening at Cooper City HS. Hope to see many of you there.

Davie town hall is again open to the public by appointment only. If you have business you wish to conduct in person, please call. We are also continuing all business online if you prefer.

We began the installation of seven (7) new fitness stations around the trail at Shenandoah Park on May 11th, 2021. Four (4) of the seven (7) fitness stations are ADA accessible. The anticipated completion date is June 30th, 2021. The anticipated cost is $65,000.

The park will not be closed; however, it is anticipated that there will be intermittent trail closures, as needed, to ensure resident’s safety. We are communicating with the HOA for the residents to be informed.

The Shenandoah Drainage Improvement Project was submitted by Congresswoman Debbie Wasserman Schultz for a federal budget appropriation for 2021-22

Shenandoah consists of 612.4 acres and covers 1 square mile. 76% is residential, 12% is interconnected lakes, 8% is recreational/FPL corridor and the remaining 4% is commercial.

The Vista Filare and Providence East neighborhoods collectively referred to as “The Grove” in previous permits, consist of 51.7 acres of which 92% is single-family residential and 8% lake area.

Over 6,000 residents and neighboring communities will benefit from this project.

Project Cost is $2,300,000 with the breakdown of the funds are as follows: • Stormwater Master Pump Station Design and Construction Observation - $234,865 • Pump Construction Cost - $2,216,000

This project has been a part of the Town of Davie’s 10-year Capital Improvement Program.

Our Aquatics division is in full swing and swim lessons are available in the following groups:
