I watched harbor isle wipe out a beautiful wildlife area. our favorite tiki bar got tossed for crabby corporate, which is always empty. With the costs of everything I've seen people that have lived here for 40 years and had to move, that's sad. We haven't lost our small town feel but its getting close. This will wreck our area.

Our beautiful coastline is being destroyed by overbuilding, over population and constant catering to greedy self focused rich who don’t care about our long term home, our environment nor the reason we live here in the first place. This kind of development is not wanted and is not in any way going to enhance the quality of life in Fort Pierce. Keep the Treasure Coast beautiful and natural and keep high rise developments out! It will create traffic nightmares and I’m sure this back door dealing is a strong indicator that this will not benefit anyone except the developers and the rich who use this as a seasonal playground. Take this elsewhere…
Please remove the rumble strips on US 1 between Hobe Sound and Tequesta along Jonathan Dickinson Park. These things have ruined road cycling in our community and are a hazard to cyclists and motorists alike as we now have to ride in the motor vehicle lane.
I’ve almost wrecked badly while riding in the bike lane, because of the rumble strips. Many cyclists will end up crashing from them which will damage very expensive bikes and is seriously putting the cyclists lives at risk.
A friend of mine got seriously hurt out on Hutchinson Island. The bike path had some roots growing under the path he crossed over the rumble strips and went down. He has a broken calcavle cracked ribs. What were they thinking when they installed these rumble strip!!! This area of Florida is not bike friendly. I just got back from Miami lots of cyclist no rumble strips … Fix it before some gets killed !!!! My friend was lucky he didn’t get run over !!!!
This is one of the most unsafe things I’ve ever seen on bike paths. For those of us on 3 wheels or those pulling a trailer with 2 wheels, this is now a tremendous hazard. Our 2 wheels in the front or back of our trikes or on the trailer are now hampered meaning that in many spots of the bike paths, we will actually be riding on the rumble strips. This will cause our trikes and trailers to sway and could cause us to either move into traffic, move into our fellow cyclists, or move into the grass, sand, water or whatever area is to our right. With this said, there is now a higher probability of crashes leading to injuries and fatalities. This needs to be corrected ASAP! Cover the rumble strips or widen the bike path!
Lane departure strips should be in the motor vehicle lane as opposed to the bike line. They are dangerous inside the bike lane for many reasons , if there is any debris at all in the bike lane you risk losing control of your bicycle not to mention possibly weakening the structural integrity of the bike. The strips are also notorious for causing flat tires , broken wheels , seat post etc .
Makes it impossible to ride in groups which is much safer than riding alone.
What few bike lanes we have are already too narrow, often encroached by grass and sand, and now by the rumbles. People that are not road cyclists do not understand the dangers the rumbles create. When a bike flips you are catapulted into the pavement possibly into traffic. I know from experience. It has life and death potential and you have no control over it. Please fix this hazard!
