Opportunity to Participate: Cape Coral Updates its Comprehensive Plan

Through a series of public meetings, the City of Cape Coral is looking for input about how the City will develop and change.

The City of Cape Coral's blueprint for growth and development, its Comprehensive Plan, is being updated through a series of public meetings. With input from citizens, county planners are looking at some of the following issues related to biking and walking:

• Economic Development and Land Use (including how business growth should occur)

• Transportation (including the provision of bike lanes and places to walk)

• Parks and public spaces

• The location and provision of schools

This update is the basis of an Evaluation and Appraisal Report, which is required by the state every seven years. Through the series of public visioning workshops and work with staff agencies, planners will identify the most important issues and began revising the Cape Coral Plan.

The remaining visioning workshops are the following dates and times:
Tuesday March 1st, 2011 6:30-8:00 PM
