Southport Raw Bar is an icon, and the oldest raw bar in Ft. Lauderdale, FL. One of its main roads for access is Cordova Road. The city wants to change Cordova Road -- reducing it from four lanes to two lanes with medians -- which will adversely impact local businesses and residents. Two lanes cannot handle the traffic, and the road will be backed up constantly. Trucks that deliver goods in this area will cause gridlock. This will be especially bad for school drop-off and pick-up.

It's been a tough year for all of us, and we need to stick together in helping our local restaurants and businesses survive. I am asking you to join us and add your name to the growing list of residents and local and small businesses opposed to these changes to Cordova Road. We need to let the mayor and commissioners of Fort Lauderdale know that we oppose this construction!
