Orange Avenue truck traffic and turn-lane safety
A resident warned that doubling dump-truck trips at the mulch site — up to 116 a day making left turns on a stretch of Orange Avenue where people have died — demands a turn lane.
Pavement condition of Indrio Road and St. Lucie Boulevard
Commissioners and residents pressed hard on whether Indrio and Emerson roads can absorb the projected 10,000+ daily trips from this project plus nearby developments. Questions remain about the traffic study methodology, future signals, and whether Emerson will ever be widened.
