Activities for FY 20 / 21
A new vision for the Village Green Drive corridor
The Village Green Drive Corridor Revitalization Project is intended to kick-start eastern Port St . Lucie ’ s long-awaited renaissance and vision for a revitalized gathering place . The City imagined this area could be a “ Complete Street ” — a place where people could walk and bike to shops , where bus stops and street crossings would be safe , where air and water would be cleaner through sustainable design and where economic growth would exist in tandem with livability for residents . In short , it would become a destination in Port St . Lucie .
Over the past year , the City and its consultant , Marlin Engineering , reached out to the community for ideas , suggestions , concerns and dreams for the Village Green Drive area . Residents , businesses and other stakeholders joined in creating the vision for a more peoplefriendly corridor . Two virtual public meetings followed a walking tour of the area , public surveys were conducted and door-to-door canvassing of businesses along the corridor was held . An in-person open house was incorporated into the public engagement process ( within the guidelines of COVID restrictions ) during the City ’ s annual Citizen ’ s Summit in March 2021 .
Meanwhile , behind the scenes , the project team performed data collection and analysis , mapped the area for topographical and environmental features . Thanks to the community members and business owners who participated and the staff of the City of Port St . Lucie , the final concept was presented to and adopted by the City Council in July 2021 . The next phase of the process will be creating the documents for construction . The City appreciates the past involvement from our community and urges you to continue to work with us as we create a true sense of place along the Village Green Drive Corridor .
