<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />Online Survey <br />One question on the Online Survey asked, “What are the biggest transportation needs in Indian River County?” <br />Respondents identified the biggest transportation needs in the County as roadway improvements (50%), better sidewalks <br />and crosswalks (47.7%), safety improvements (38.4%), better transit service (32.6%), more on-street bike lanes (30.6%), <br />and additional parking (24%). <br />Another question requested that respondents identify street segments and the improvements they need. Respondents <br />identified various complaints and issues related to road maintenance and traffic in Vero Beach. These include unpaved <br />and unkept roads in residential areas; flooding on 73rd Street (east of Route 1), 18th Street, Jungle Trail, and 5th Court; <br />disruptive road work during the season, reduction in Twin Pairs lanes to manage speed, and the need for a 4-lane road <br />from US 1 to 512 at Shark Mart intersection. <br />Some comments requested a larger focus on walking and/or biking trails along roadways, including Roseland Road. US-1 <br />and 510 were both identified more than once as unsafe for bicyclists. <br />Many respondents expressed concerns about the ability of the transportation network to handle future capacity needs. <br />The community emphasized preparing for future development, especially industrial, and encouraged connections to <br />existing and new roadways to support the movement of goods, services, and people. <br />Respondents recommend adding right-turn lanes along US 1, between 8th Street and 20th Street, or providing a different <br />solution, such as overpasses, to reduce the bottleneck through traffic experiences. Guard rails were requested on 4th <br />Street, 8th Street, 12th Street, 16th Street, and 20th Avenue. 12th Street between 58th and 66th is identified as a <br />dangerous road that needs to be improved as soon as possible. Paving unpaved roadways was requested, with “16 and <br />12 Avenues east of 98 Street” being called out in particular. Road maintenance issues identified across the network <br />include poorly maintained roadway paint, resulting in confusion, as well as overgrowth from bushes and trees creating <br />blind spots. Many community members call for stricter speed restrictions and/or stronger enforcement of such restrictions. <br />DIA Highlights <br />◊ Traffic projections have been updated to include current (year 2023, interim year (2028), and horizon year (2045) <br />traffic volumes. <br />PAGE 67
