During the 2017 Summer Retreat, the City Council directed staff to model the Floresta Drive corridor for both 2-lane and 4-lane sections, including the Crosstown Parkway Extension Project's connection to U.S. Highway 1. The modeling projected traffic volumes for 2037.  On October 30, 2017, the City Council unanimously approved the 2-Lane Conceptual Improvement Roadway Plan for Floresta Drive.

Public Information Workshops in January and March 2018 led to revisions based on public feedback. The final version of the Floresta Drive Corridor Master Plan layout and amenities was unanimously approved by the City Council on May 14, 2018.

On September 2, 2020, the City hosted a public information Construction Open House at the Community Center and held a Groundbreaking Ceremony to kick off construction of Phase 1 on September 14, 2020.

American Consulting Professionals, LLC, designed the project. The City hired Culpepper and Terpening, Inc., for Construction Engineering and Inspection, while Felix Associates of Florida, Inc., served as the contractor.
