Miami-Dade County received approval to buy or take through eminent domain 15 parcels as part of a road-widening project for one of Homestead's fastest-growing neighborhoods in November 2007. Commissioners at the time approved on Nov 13th the widening of Lucy Street (SW 328th ST) from US1 to Farm Life School Rd (SW 162nd Ave) as part of a $21 million project funded by road impact fees. The project was supposed to be completed in 2010. Unfortunately, the financial meltdown in 2008 put a hold to this and other project throughout the county. This project is important because it expands a roadway that serves as a transportation artery for the city's east side by widening the road from two lanes to four, with dedicated left-turn lanes and a median. This east-west artery will provide additional capacity to the bulk of new residential and commercial developments. The project will also coincide with another project that's on hold: the Florida Turnpike Partial Interchange at Lucy Street. Reference Link:
