Project Status: Completed November 2025
Project Purpose: Dixon Boulevard, located in the City of Cocoa, was identified by the City of Cocoa and Space Coast Transportation Planning Organization (SCTPO) for a Complete Streets Analysis based on its proximity to underserved populations, transportation safety concerns, and high population of bicyclists and pedestrians. This Study was focused on complete streets recommendations to improve multimodal safety and mobility along the corridor. Dixon Boulevard is maintained by Brevard County and is located within the City of Cocoa jurisdictional limits.
Based on the feedback from the agency stakeholders, the project is on hold indefinitely. Brevard County is the current maintaining agency for the pavement width along Dixon Boulevard. Due to ongoing cost to maintain County roadways, the County’s position on supporting any changes was contingent upon transferring maintaining ownership over to the City. Further development of the project and selecting preferred alternative was put on hold until such time as this condition can be reconsidered by all stakeholders. However, the SCTPO and Brevard County are supportive of pursuing future short-term, low-cost intersection improvements, such as shortening the cycle length, pursuing protected left turns, or a pedestrian only signal phase at locations where there is a history of left turn/angle and/or pedestrian/bicycle crashes.
Study Limits: The Study will spanned from along Dixon Boulevard from 300’ east of SR 501 (Clearlake Road) to 325’ west of US 1 (Cocoa Boulevard). The study corridor is 1.0 miles long.
