St. Lucie County is proposing a safety plan for Prima Vista Boulevard in Port St. Lucie that would replace the roadway’s center left-turn lanes with a raised median. The proposal is intended to improve safety after 578 crashes were reported on the road since 2020.
The plan would change the roadway’s current arrangement, which includes center lanes for left turns. Under the proposal, a raised median would take their place. The summary of the plan does not provide further details about how turning access would be handled or whether other changes are included.
The reported crash total covers the period since 2020, but no breakdown by year, crash type, severity or location along Prima Vista Boulevard was provided. The available information also does not identify the source of the crash figures or explain how the proposed median is expected to affect crash patterns.
The county is described as proposing the plan; the information provided does not say whether it has been approved, when a decision might be made or when any construction could begin. It also does not include project costs, a construction schedule, details about public input or the name of a specific county department or official leading the proposal.
For now, the stated plan is limited to replacing the center left-turn lanes with a raised median as a safety measure. Additional details about the proposal and its status were not provided.
