Port St. Lucie is addressing traffic concerns on Bayshore Boulevard with a corridor improvement project. The busy connector runs from Prima Vista Boulevard to the roundabout at Selvitz Road, where residents report bumper-to-bumper congestion. The city says the goal is safer roads and smoother traffic flow.
Three design options are proposed, including two four-lane layouts with sidewalks and bike paths and a two-way divided highway alternative. A new roundabout at Floresta Drive is also being considered to improve efficiency and reduce stops. Officials say roundabouts typically enhance safety and keep vehicles moving.
Neighbors support improvements, especially added sidewalks and better traffic movement. The corridor is considered an important north-to-south connection across the city, making upgrades a priority for daily commuters.
