Background: Improvements to the Floresta Drive corridor are a priority for the City Council and at the 2017 Summer Retreat, Council directed staff to model the corridor from a traffic standpoint for both a 2-lane and 4-lane roadway section. The new modeling was performed, and it included the new Crosstown Parkway Extension Project connection to U.S. Highway 1 at Village Drive, for the projected traffic volumes in the year 2037. The results/recommendations were presented to City Council on October 30, 2017, for consideration. The City Council unanimously passed the motion for the approval of the 2-lane conceptual improvement roadway plan for Floresta Drive.
Public Information workshops were conducted in January and March of 2018 and were well attended. The Master Plans were revised pursuant to public comment and input received. The final decision on the Floresta Drive Corridor Master Plan layout and amenities were approved by the City Council on May 14, 2018.
Issues/Analysis: The portion of the subject property is included in Phase III of the Floresta Drive Improvement Project and will be utilized for roadway improvements associated with a u-turn being constructed at the intersection of Floresta Drive and Prima Vista Blvd.
Financial Information: On November 6, 2018, the one-half cent sales tax voter referendum was approved and one of the projects included by the City Council on the list of projects to be funded by the new sales tax is the design and construction of the Floresta Drive Corridor from Southbend Boulevard to Prima Vista Boulevard.
