St. Johns Heritage Parkway Alternative Corridor Evaluation

Thank you for visiting the project website for the St. Johns Heritage Parkway Alternative Corridor Evaluation Study. Please be aware that the ACE Study is now complete, and as such, the page will no longer be updated by Brevard County Public Works. The project is now with the City of Palm Bay.

About

Brevard County is conducting a transportation planning study known as an Alternative Corridor Evaluation (ACE). The study is being conducted to evaluate new roadway corridors that could connect the existing segments of the St. Johns Heritage Parkway. The limits of the study are from Babcock Street to Malabar Road in Brevard County and the City of Palm Bay, a distance of approximately 14 miles. The project location map is provided and described in the Project Files below.

An ACE Study involves a range of technical evaluations including collecting data and analyzing existing conditions, a range of engineering and environmental evaluations and public engagement and agency coordination. The goal of the study is to identify a corridor that can be advanced to the next phase of project development, which in this case would be a Project Development and Environment (PD&E) Study; however, there is currently no funding in place beyond the ACE Study. A project of this magnitude generally takes between 10 and 12 years to complete depending on the availability of funding.

Schedule

The study began in January 2020 and is now anticipated to be completed spring 2023. Two public meetings took place throughout the study. Additionally, updates will be provided at the Space Coast Transportation Planning Organization (T.P.O) board meetings and at Brevard County Board of County Commission meetings. Brevard County also held Working Group meetings with representatives from local, regional, state and federal agencies over the course of the project. The study schedule is provided and described in the Project Files below.

The project team has identified five viable corridors with two corridors, Alternate A and Alternate C, recommended to advance to a future PD&E Study (unfunded).

Contact Information

As the study is now complete, the project will be handed off to the City of Palm Bay. Please contact the office of the Deputy City Manager at (321) 952-3411 or CityManager@PBFL.org for current information beyond the ACE study.
