BREVARD COUNTY, Fla. — The addition of a Costco and a new development off of I-95 near the Pineda Causeway is bringing more traffic to that area of Brevard County.

What You Need To Know

  • New development is bringing more traffic to Pineda Causeway

  • Thomas McKeon says it’s challenging to turn off of Peninsula Circle & onto Pineda Cswy

  • FDOT is studying the intersection to determine if improvements can be made

Thomas McKeon says it’s difficult to get out of his neighborhood safely.

“It’s really hard to make a right turn, and that time of day it’s near impossible to make a left,” said McKeon.

McKeon lives off Peninsula Circle and has noticed an increase in traffic when he wants to turn onto Pineda Causeway.

“Sometimes I can’t make the full left, so I have to stop in the median,” he said, “And wait for an opening. So that’s a little hairy.”

McKeon blames the problems on an uptick in traffic on the Pineda Causeway due to new development on the other side of I-95.

We told FDOT about the issue, and their engineers are now studying the intersection to determine if any improvements can be made.

McKeon hopes FDOT approves the installation of a traffic signal to help. Thomas would like a traffic signal installed.
