SPOTLIGHT
vide quality, affordable housing in a scalable economy with
enhanced leisure choices and ease of mobility.
The next step is to meet with focus groups: senior populations,
business community and youth. Since planning
timelines are way into the future, teens will be young adults
when all the changes are implemented, making it important
to bring them in as partners, too. The overall acceptance of
the forecasted changes have been favorable. Over and over,
Tobin and her team have heard how much people love Port
St. Lucie.
INFRASTRUCTURE IMPROVEMENTS
Connectivity is a key to an on-the-go populace. Necessary
infrastructure such as sidewalks are a high safety priority
and miles of paths are being sculpted as community connectors
for use by pedestrians, students at bus stops, cyclists and
power walkers. The city places high importance on placement
within two miles of schools. From 2005 to 2013, nearly
40 miles of sidewalks were constructed.
PAYING FOR IT
It will take some doing to realize these plans with limited
resources. Prioritizing use of open space, while integrating
pedestrian activities and other improvements, can be
achieved with creative funding and unconventional partnerships.
Innovative thinkers are going out of the box for funding
sources. Public-private and nonprofit granting entities,
including crowd sourcing, are filling gaps caused by reductions
in available federal grants.
