Strategic Plan Link: The City's Goal of high-quality infrastructure and facilities.
Executive Summary (General Business): This presentation will provide an update to the City Council on the data collected, public involvement feedback and next steps for the Village Green Drive Corridor master planning project.
Presentation Information: Staff from MARLIN Engineering will provide a brief presentation.
Background: In June 2020, the City of Port St. Lucie engaged MARLIN Engineering to provide professional services related to developing a conceptual Master Plan for the Village Green Drive Corridor in coordination with the public, stakeholders along the corridor, City staff and elected officials (REF: Contract #20200048). The Master Plan concept will be the inspiration for the development of complete streets alternatives in the form of typical sections for the corridor that have the potential to stimulate economic development, connect the community and generate pedestrian and bicycle activity thereby activating the location as an exciting destination.
MARLIN is conducting a feasibility study to identify and assess existing transportation and infrastructure conditions along Village Green Drive and to make recommendations for multimodal transportation improvements, public art, and landscape treatments. This will include, and not be limited to bicycle, pedestrian, vehicle and transit facilities, trail connections, active art, signature landscape and concepts for street furniture. MARLIN will prepare a conceptual Master Plan for the Village Green Drive corridor and investigate the impacts of multiple concepts on pedestrian and bicycle safety, right-of-way impacts, utilities and neighboring communities. Up to three (3) typical sections and cost estimates will be provided with a corridor rendering and plan sheet of the preferred alternative. Upon completion, cost estimates will be further revised, and 15% design plans will be presented for the preferred design alternative. The master planning project is scheduled to be complete in May 2021.
