The existing trails are badly damaged by tree roots and weathering. These conditions have resulted in safety hazards, structural failure of walkway surfaces, and reduced accessibility for users, including individuals with mobility limitations. This project focuses on immediate infrastructure rehabilitation to address these critical conditions and restore safe public access while establishing a foundation for future phased improvements. The project involves significant infrastructure and amenity upgrades at Cypress Preserve, located at 2525 NW 49 Ave, Lauderdale Lakes, FL. The primary focus is the replacement and expansion of the existing walkway system into a multiuse trail, alongside the installation of a new structural amenity. if the grant is awarded, acceptance will require subsequent City Commission approval and budget appropriation.

This amount is based on conceptual planning-level estimates and is subject to refinement through final design, engineering, and cost validation.
