Project Summary

In 2006, City Council made the construction of sidewalks a citywide high priority. Routes highly traveled by school children were the first areas targeted. Since 2006, the City has been able to construct an average of approximately two (2) miles per year. The additional funding provided by the sales tax would allow the City to enhance the current program thus constructing additional sidewalk annually. Some of the benefits of sidewalks include providing residents of Port St. Lucie a safe place to walk and bike to schools, parks, and businesses and also promoting exercise and a healthy lifestyle. The additional funding would allow the construction of the sidewalk projects listed below within the next five (5) years. Those projects listed below would be in addition to those currently planned and budgeted within the City’s Capital Improvement Program (CIP).
