Concerns over trash pickup and road conditions dominated the Fort Pierce Planning Board meeting on June 9, 2025, as residents voiced their frustrations about local infrastructure. One resident raised a critical question regarding compliance with Fort Pierce regulations for trash collection at individual homes, highlighting doubts about whether the roads, which were reportedly improved in 2024, can withstand the wear and tear from garbage trucks.

The resident expressed skepticism about the durability of the roads, stating, "I don't think so," and described alarming conditions, including drainage issues that make some roads feel unstable and prone to caving in. They pointed out the presence of large puddles that remain despite the supposed improvements, urging board members to consider these pressing issues.

Another resident, Helen Richlicki, who has lived in the park for 23 years, shared her love for the area but did not elaborate on specific concerns. The discussions reflect a growing need for the Planning Board to address infrastructure challenges and ensure that improvements meet community standards and safety requirements. As residents continue to voice their concerns, the board faces pressure to take action on these critical issues.
