The Martin MPO, in collaboration with Martin County and the City of Stuart, are seeking input on ways to improve traffic and safety on US-1 from the south side of the New Roosevelt Bridge north to the St. Lucie County line.
US-1 Congestion Management Project – Public Video Diary
The study will focus on the challenges with US-1 and ways to improve traffic and safety with alternatives to traditional roadway widening. This project includes a robust public involvement component so the project team can learn firsthand the issues with the corridor from the perspective of people who drive US-1 every day. The goal is to gather as much public input as possible and develop a consensus on the issues and solutions for the study area.
The study will include:
- Targeted areas for improvements.
- Opportunities to improve traffic flow other than widening the roadway.
- Increase connectivity and join access to reduce trips on US-1.
- Improve the multimodal network within the corridor.
- Improve safety for all users (automobile, pedestrian, and bicycle).
