The GO Roads paving program is funded by the $150 million general ordinance bond approved by voters in November 2018. The work program will be carried out in five phases over an eight-year construction period, with each phase being vetted by the City of Palm Bay's Infrastructure Oversight and Advisory Board before going to City Council for final approval.
The GO Roads program is intended to address street paving issues throughout the City of Palm Bay. On October 11, 2019, Palm Bay Officials hosted a kickoff event in Unit 41 to mark the start of the GO Roads paving projects. The program phasing is shown below using colors for each phase.
GO Roads Projects Status
In November 2018, Palm Bay residents voted to approve a $150 million GO Roads Bond to repave city roads. Since then, the City has completed over 418 miles of road improvements in several areas of the city, including Eldron, Garvey, Port Malabar, sections of Emerson, Palm Bay Colony, Kirby Industrial Parks, and more. Several road projects are still in progress, with some under construction, others in the design phase, and more preparing for bidding.
The City is nearly complete with work in northeast Palm Bay in the neighborhoods off Port Malabar Blvd. between Palm Bay Road and Babcock Street, known as Country Club Units 1-10. Final completion of the road improvements is expected later this month. The work here is a mix of full-depth reclamation, mill and pave, and thin lift. The construction contractor for this area is Timothy Rose Contracting. The cost of the work in this area is close to $9M.
Other areas are in engineering with the design work around 90% completed. These areas include Koutnick, Seven Gables, and a portion of Eldron Blvd for mill and pave at a cost of nearly $11.7 million. In the vicinity of Fallon Blvd and Brookside Street and streets around Cricket Drive a combination of full-depth reclamation and mill and paving will be used, estimated at $3.7 million. A portion of Emerson Road NW, Jacobin, Glencove, Wake Forest, and Pace will be mill and paved at $13.5 million. Finally, Emerson Road from Malabar Road south to Waco Blvd, full-depth reclamation will be used for $3.9M.
In addition, easterly portions of Palo Alto and some of Eldron in the southeast quadrant, neighborhoods in the southwest quadrant west of Garvey to DeGroodt, and San Filippo from Malabar to Jupiter and portions of Community College Parkway are out to bid and due back February 18. These units were a mix of full-depth reclamation and mill and paving for $8.6 million.
Road paving for the northwest quadrant of the city, which includes the western portion of Serenade and Barritz and 20 cul-de-sacs within the neighborhoods off the east section of Krassner, is set to go out for bids in February. The work in this area is mill and paving, and is estimated to cost $2.5 million.
Road paving in the northeast quadrant of the city including Lockmar Estates is awaiting final design. This project is estimated at $8.6 million for full-depth reclamation and mill and paving.
Go Roads Paving Program has made significant progress, completing Phases 1 and 2. Phase 3 is 50% complete with the remaining areas out to bid. Work through Phase 4 is funded and in the design process.
Phase 5 is currently unfunded. However, the City is actively exploring alternative funding options to move forward.
Milling and Paving
The existing asphalt pavement surface is milled and then typically paved with a 1.5” or 2" thick layer of new asphalt pavement.
The existing pavement surface is repaired of cracks and pots holes and then a thin 1.5" thick layer of asphalt overlay is placed on top of the existing pavement.
The Full Depth Reclamation (FDR) process pulverizes the existing asphalt and base material, mixes cement, emulsion, and water, and compacts the materials to produce a strong, durable structural base for the new road. The asphalt pavement is placed on top of the new base structure.
The existing roadway is completely removed of the pavement and base material and then reconstructed by compacting sub-base and adding a new 8" thick base rock compacted and 2" think asphalt pavement.

The City of Palm Bay is making significant strides in enhancing its roadway capacity to improve traffic flow and enhance public safety. Several key road widening projects are in various stages of design and construction, demonstrating the City's commitment to investing in traffic improvements for its residents and businesses.
St. Johns Heritage Parkway Widening from Malabar Road to Emerson Drive
A major improvement is in progress for St. Johns Heritage Parkway from Malabar Road north to Emerson Drive. The project is currently being designed by Scalar Consulting Group and is partially funded by a $1.5 million State appropriation for the 2024-2025 legislative session. The design process includes evaluating traffic signalization at key intersections such as Emerson Drive, Pace Drive, and the planned bridge connection at Fred Poppe Regional Park. Additionally, future considerations are being explored for improvements at the Malabar Road and St. Johns Heritage Parkway intersection, including a proposed roundabout or a traffic signal.
With a total design and engineering cost of $3.3 million, the City is proactively designing the roadway improvements. Importantly, the City already owns the necessary property and associated drainage for the future project, positioning the City to seek construction funding. A public meeting with nearby residents was held on October 6, 2025.
Malabar Road Widening from Minton Road to West of St. Johns Heritage Parkway
Another long-sought roadway project involves early planning of the widening of Malabar Road to four lanes from Minton Road to St. Johns Heritage Parkway. The City, in partnership with Kittelson & Associates, has completed what is known as a Project Development & Environment study to determine social, economic, natural, and physical environmental impacts of this future transportation improvement. This comprehensive study involved professional engineers, planners, and scientists collecting and analyzing project-related data to develop the best alternative concept for the future roadway. The study was shared during a final public meeting in December 2024. The next step is for the City to secure a design and engineering firm for this $10 million design project that is partially funded by $3 million from Florida Department of Transportation. The City’s contracting process for hiring the design and engineering firm is currently under review by the City and the Florida Department of Transportation. The Malabar Road widening is a regional priority in the Space Coast Transportation Planning Organization’s 2045 Long Range Transportation Plan. Ownership and responsibility of the entire roadway is shared in segments between the City, Brevard County, and the Florida Department of Transportation. The City will work closely with our partners at Brevard County, Florida Department of Transportation, Space Coast Transportation Planning Organization, and our state and federal elected officials on funding strategies for this long-term, significant improvement, which will likely have to be funded in segments.

Emerson Dr NW @ St. Johns Heritage Parkway Intersection Improvements
The City of Palm Bay has contracted with Consor North America, Inc. to perform the design and develop the plans for signalization of this intersection. Current development around the intersection of Emerson Drive and SJHP has resulted in proposed improvements to the west leg of this intersection. As a result, the signal design and associated intersection lighting analysis must be modified to reflect the improvements to the west leg of Emerson Drive. The City and the developers are working together to ensure the road modifications and signalization is installed in consideration of the future widening of St. Johns Heritage Parkway.
Emerson Dr NW Widening PD & E Study
Emerson Drive NW from Jupiter to St. Johns Heritage Parkway is currently a two-lane, undivided, east-west arterial roadway in the City of Palm Bay serving both residential and commercial traffic. With the ongoing population growth and increased development in the surrounding areas, Emerson Drive has experienced rising traffic volumes, contributing to congestion and safety issues.
A Project Development and Environment Study (PD&E) is a critical first step in evaluating the feasibility, environmental impact, and design alternatives for improving this essential corridor from a two-lane to a four-lane divided roadway. Construction of roadway improvements can be costly, and a PD&E study will provide an estimate of engineering and construction costs. This will allow the Public Works Department to pursue grants and accurately budget for the project. Design and construction will be scheduled once a budget is determined and funding is identified for each phase. A PD&E study can take up to two (2) years to complete.
San Filippo and Jupiter Intersection Improvements is in the design phase by a contracted vendor. Additional information provided with the design will be an estimated construction value, which will help Public Works staff budget for construction.
San Filippo and Wyoming Intersection Improvements is in the design phase by a contracted vendor. Additional information provided with the design will be an estimated construction value, which will help Public Works staff budget for construction.
San Filippo and Cogan Intersection Improvements are in the design phase by a contracted vendor. Additional information provided with the design will be an estimated construction value, which will help Public Works staff budget for construction.
The City of Palm Bay is committed to protecting the community and its waterways through sound planning, construction, maintenance, and improvement of the drainage control systems. The City’s Stormwater Utility Program makes this goal a reality, while providing a means for the City to meet State and Federal regulations for discharging stormwater. The continuation of this and other stormwater projects ensures a healthy municipal infrastructure and improved quality of life for Palm Bay residents.
The City’s stormwater pipe replacement follows ahead of the Road Bond Paving with Public Works engineers tasked to design the pipes and culverts with Inspection staff to provide construction inspections. In addition, Public Works operations crews are assisting with the installation of pipes in units with smaller number of pipe replacements. Below are photos of the Public Works crew replacing a pipe crossing.
The following is an update on the contracted stormwater projects:
- Unit 10 & 12 Culvert Pipe replacement is currently in the construction phase. Work being completed in these areas consists of replacing 55 failed pipes in these units. This project should be completed by February 2026.Approximate cost $1,063,000.
- Unit 16 Culvert Pipe replacement is currently in the construction phase. Work being completed in this area consists of replacing 48 failed pipes in the unit. This project should be completed by mid-December 2025. Approximate cost $519,000.
- Cured-in-Place Pipe (CIPP) for FY 26 consists of 3 projects, with an approximate cost of $3,190,000:
- Citywide CIPP lining will consist of 85 pipes throughout the City.
- Unit 7 CIPP will consist of 22 pipes in this specific area of the City.
- Unit 8 CIPP will consist of 16 pipes in this specific area of the City.
- Cured-in-Place Pipe lining is a trenchless method of rehabilitation and restoration used in the repair or to prolong the longevity of existing stormwater/sewer pipes. It requires little or no digging and significantly less time to complete repairs. CIPP lining uses a textile liner tube and a liquid resin.
- Haverhill Road Stormwater Grates is in the construction phase and is 66% completed. Replacement of three (3) roadway trench grates in the roadway covering the stormwater drainage. Work is scheduled to be completed by January 2026. Approximate cost is $107,000.
PB Indian River Lagoon Baffle Boxes is a project to reduce pollutant discharges into the impaired Indian River Lagoon by installing nutrient-separating baffle boxes at five (5) drainage outfalls within the City of Palm Bay. The five locations are strategically located to benefit basins. The five baffle boxes will help to reduce the amount of Total Nitrogen, Total Phosphorus, and Total Suspended Solids from the drainage system and will help to improve water quality for the impaired Indian River Lagoon. The City has received a DEP grant for this project of $ 750,000, with a City match of $500,000.
Pond Improvements (2) for Cadillac Dr NE and RJ Conlan are to improve the pond on Cadillac Drive (Cadillac Pond) to enhance pollutant removal and retrofit the pond to increase volume and residence time and to optimize pollutant removal in the pond on Robert J. Conlan Boulevard (Charles J. Herbert Drive) (RJC Pond) to improve the water quality of Turkey Creek. The City has received a DEP grant for this project of $ 550,000, with a City match of $1,025,000.
The City of Palm Bay in cooperation with the Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) has recently started a Project Development and Environment (PD&E) study. This study involves a segment of Malabar Road within the City of Palm Bay and Brevard County. The purpose of this study will be to evaluate the need to widen Malabar Road for capacity improvements, the addition of multi-modal features and to address safety issues along the corridor from St. Johns Heritage Parkway to Minton Road. For additional information regarding this project, please contact Christeen Sullivan, Project Manager at 321-726-5665 x 6215 or Christine.sullivan@palmbayfl.gov.
