Port St. Lucie Transportation Guide

The largest Port St. Lucie road projects on the half-cent sales tax list are the Floresta Drive rebuild, the St. Lucie West Boulevard intersections with the California Boulevard widening, citywide repaving and new sidewalks.

The amounts come from the project overview on the Port St. Lucie Half-Cent Sales Tax Projects page, which prints an overall total of $162.5 million and marks each item completed, in progress or not started. On that page the U.S. 1 landscaping segment from the Martin County line to Huffman carries the completed mark, and a Capital Improvement Projects tracker map is linked for progress by project.

It is a half-cent St. Lucie County sales tax that voters approved in 2018 to improve roads, build sidewalks and support water quality projects in the county and its cities, including Port St. Lucie.

The city's sales tax projects page says the tax has been used in Port St. Lucie, Fort Pierce, St. Lucie Village and unincorporated St. Lucie County. Shortly after the vote, the Port St. Lucie City Council created a Citizens Oversight Committee to make sure the revenue is spent and allocated according to the approved project list, and the page keeps past committee meeting documents, including intersection exhibits for Torino, Bayshore and Prima Vista, and St. Lucie West at Cashmere and Peacock.

The Port St. Lucie sales tax projects page also posts the program's paper trail: a monthly Sales Tax Accountability Report on project progress, a yearly chart of sales tax projects, the sales tax synopsis from the city's 2018 Annual Report, and maps and lists of the additional and expedited repaving and sidewalk projects for the 19/20 and 20/21 fiscal years. A Half-Cent Sales Tax Project Accomplishments document sits with them.

Four Port St. Lucie transportation guides sit under this section, each built around one question a resident tends to ask about local roads.

The Floresta Drive Improvement Project guide covers the corridor from Southbend Boulevard to Prima Vista Boulevard: what the two-lane complete street includes, how each of its three phases has gone in the city record, what it costs and how closures and bus stop moves were handled. The St. Lucie West Boulevard projects guide goes intersection by intersection through California, Peacock, Cashmere and Bayshore boulevards, the California Boulevard widening and the state's I-95 bridge, and records the status each city page gives.

The road resurfacing plan guide explains how Port St. Lucie scores every street with a Pavement Condition Index, why the lowest scores are paved first, where to find a street in the ten-year schedule and why fine cracks appear on new asphalt. The sidewalks guide covers the city's sidewalk inventory, why the original development left so few sidewalks, the school-focused priorities of the Sidewalk Master Plan and the grants and fees that pay for new segments.

City pages describe two Port St. Lucie transit facilities: the Jobs Express Terminal park-and-ride at 2198 SW Gatlin Boulevard near I-95, and the Community Hub bus facility at 395 SE Deacon Avenue across from the City Municipal Complex and Community Center.

The Jobs Express Terminal opened on Sept. 9, 2021 with 162 free parking spaces for carpools, vanpools and transit, electric vehicle charging, a local Area Regional Transit (ART) Route 5 stop, on-demand micro-transit connections and stops for regional bus services, according to the city's project page. Construction cost $2,027,816. The lot is reached from I-95 by going east on Gatlin Blvd., south on Edgarce Street and right onto Hayworth Avenue; the page lists 772-871-5177 for questions. Its project history starts in 2006, when the St. Lucie County Transportation Planning Organization's Park and Ride Study identified I-95 at Gatlin Boulevard as a potential site.

The Community Hub is a collaboration between the St. Lucie County Community Transit Division and the city, with four open bus bays, 24 free parking spaces and a connection point for four fixed routes serving Port St. Lucie; Phase I was completed in 2013. The same page lists the county transit division's phone, 772-462-1798.

The Florida Department of Transportation names Becker Road, Gatlin Boulevard/Tradition Parkway, Crosstown Parkway and Midway Road among the interchanges for study in its I-95 master plan near Port St. Lucie.

The state's 2024 bridge work at St. Lucie West Boulevard is covered in the St. Lucie West Boulevard projects guide. FDOT describes the study area on its I-95/SR-9 master plan page as a 71-mile corridor segment running between the Palm Beach/Martin County line and the Indian River/Brevard County line, and its list of local partners includes the City of Port St. Lucie along with Martin, St. Lucie and Indian River counties. Improvements on the study list include roadway widening, interchange modification, traffic signal and intersection modifications, safety improvements and express lanes. FDOT also notes that this section of I-95 was completed in 1987 and that I-95 serves as an emergency evacuation route.

A resident, developer or city staff member starts a Port St. Lucie traffic calming request by sending the Neighborhood Traffic Calming Request Form and Petition to Public Works by email or mail.

The Neighborhood Traffic Calming Policy page says the policy gives a process for identifying speeding, excessive volumes and safety problems on neighborhood streets and for evaluating and installing calming measures. Forms go to TrafficCalmingRequest@cityofpsl.com or by mail to Public Works Department, Attn: Traffic Calming Request, 121 SW Port St. Lucie Blvd., Port St. Lucie, Florida 34984, and questions to the Traffic Operations Division at 772-344-4360. The city drafted the policy from policies adopted elsewhere, held a public workshop and reviewed comments for six months before finalizing it.

The same page lists streets where measures were installed through FY 2021/2022, among them Westmoreland Blvd at several cross streets, Southbend Blvd at Oakridge Dr/Floresta Dr, Tradition Pkwy at Stoney Creek Way and Floresta Drive at Thanksgiving (calmed streets list). Other Port St. Lucie road concerns can be reported through 1PSL at 772-871-1775, the city's line for service requests.
