The segment of Oceanic Drive between the SeaSide traffic circle and the second Moss Hammock Drive intersection has the speed limit reduced from 30 mph to 20 mph. The residents in this area have requested this change through the SeaSide HOA. The POA Safety & Security Committee reviewed the request and forwarded their recommendation, which received approval from the POA Board of Directors. All other St. James roadways adjacent to the entrances of Club and recreational facilities have a 20mph speed limit. This section of Oceanic, fronting the SeaSide Pool, Signature Wellness Center and Tennis/Pickleball courts now has a 20mph speed limit too.

The years of exposure to sun and salt have taken their toll.  Demolition will start very soon, followed by new pilings and the expansion of the footprint of the existing structure. You will begin seeing activity in and around Waterway Park related to this effort.  Please pay attention to barriers and construction related activities. As this work is in close proximity to the playground, be extra mindful of watching kids and grandkids so they don’t stray into the construction zone.  We thank you in advance for your patience! Work is expected to take 8-weeks or so.
