Special Port St. Lucie City Council meeting to focus on Floresta Drive.
What: Special meeting of the Port St. Lucie City Council
When: Monday, October 30, 2017 at 7 p.m.
Where: City of Port St. Lucie City Hall, Council Chambers
121 SW Port St. Lucie Blvd.
Why: Port St. Lucie Mayor Gregory J. Oravec has called a special meeting of the Port St. Lucie City Council, where the Council will consider a conceptual improvement plan for Floresta Drive. In calling this meeting, Mayor Oravec stated: “This is a long time coming and should be considered one of our greatest priorities.”
At the meeting, staff will present options for both 4-lane and 2-lane roadway configurations for a “complete street.” A “complete street” maintains safety and provides mobility for cyclists, motorists and pedestrians.
Goals for this project include:
-
-
- Accommodating projected traffic volumes, while minimizing impacts to adjacent properties and neighborhoods;
- Providing improvements to the corridor that facilitates a safe and efficient flow of traffic and minimizes points of conflict;
- Strengthening a sense of neighborhood along corridor through implementation of a Complete Street concept;
- Enhancing pedestrian and bicycle movements and strengthening their connections to the school;
- Introducing landscaping and lighting schemes that are in harmony with the community.
-
The public, especially those living along the Floresta Drive corridor, are invited to attend this special City Council meeting.
