The unfortunate reality is that greater Vero residential growth cannot be stopped, and those new residents have every right to use Vero restaurants, bars, beaches and businesses. The key to retaining the magic of our community is to create special venues for our expanding community to enjoy. I'd much prefer a few walkable, inviting and communal centers such as Historic Downtown, Ocean Drive and Three Corner, than dozens more sterile strip malls.
We currently have more thru lanes on twin pairs than on Interstate 95! Sebastian easily handles more traffic on HW 1, as does HW 1 south of HW 60 in Vero. The key to not having bottlenecks is to replace the planned parallel parking with dedicated left and right turn lanes at major cross streets, and eliminate the planned bike lanes.
