PSL On The Mic

• A hurricane is looming, so the City activates. But what exactly does that mean?

  We're one month away from the start of the 2025 Atlantic hurricane season, and on Episode 49, we chat with our director of emergency management, Billy Weinshank, who explains what it means when the City "activates" for a hurricane. Learn what this means for our staff, our government counterparts and most importantly, our residents. Communication is the name of the game, Billy says, so everyone in our community stays safe before, during and after a major weather event.Get storm ready: www.cityofpsl.com/hurricaneKnow your flood hazard: www.cityofpsl.com/flood2025 Hurricane Preparedness Expo: www.midfloridaeventcenter.com/Events/Hurricane-Preparedness-ExpoStay informed about City news, events, meetings and activities: www.cityofpsl.com/stayinformed Like what you’re hearing?

• The stop-and-go science of traffic light coordination in Port St. Lucie

  Quite often, people think the coordination of traffic signals on the main corridors of Port St. Lucie means they'll hit a green light every time, but that's not the case.Many factors can affect timing, and on Episode 47, we learn the ins and outs of the City's adaptive signal coordination system from Traffic Operations Administrator Paul Johnson and how it helps -- in real time -- to make traveling through PSL a little easier. Also joining us is Tom Salvador, the City's CIP & Sales Tax Project Group Manager, who tells us how the data his team collects from the traffic system helps to make decisions about where road improvements are needed the most.Traffic Operations Division: https://link.cityofpsl.com/3RriKbQRoundabouts: www.cityofpsl.com/roundaboutsStay informed about City news, events, meetings and activities: www.cityofpsl.com/stayinformed Like what you’re hearing?

• Port St. Lucie Police puts the brakes on aggressive driving ... and it's paying off

  The Port St. Lucie Police Department's increased traffic patrols on our roadways has led to more speeding citations, more drunk driving arrests and less red-light runners than ever before. On Episode 46, we chat with Sgt. Ian Harris, who tells us why the Traffic Unit's high-visibility enforcement efforts are paying off and how a new push on social media to showcase those efforts has contributed to safer streets -- and a more positive relationship with residents.  PSLPD: www.pslpolice.comTraffic Unit: www.pslpolice.com/Your-PSLPD/Specialized-Units/Traffic-UnitJoin PSLPD: https://joinpslpolice.com/ Stay informed about City news, events, meetings and activities: www.cityofpsl.com/stayinformed Like what you’re hearing?
