PSL investigating property on Becker

City engineers are investigating 187 pieces of property on and around Becker Road as they craft a plan to expand the road to four lanes.

The city has already purchased 70 lots in the area, but the Treasure Coast Regional Planning Council expansion proposal — favored by City Council — requires another 187 lots for drainage, roundabouts, green areas and other improvements. City engineers and consultants are determining which properties are improved, as well as which lots are vital to the plan.

Engineers expect to present their findings to City Council for further direction within the next three months.

"We've got to figure out what we want to do," City Engineer Walter England said. "Then, either somebody's got to find some more money, or we'll have to phase back the plan."
