BikeWalkLee
welcomes Commissioners Larry Kiker and Cecil Pendergrass. We
look forward to working with our new commissioners in support of complete
streets and a balanced multi-modal transportation system.
On
November 20th, two new County Commissioners were sworn in, Larry Kiker and
Cecil Pendergrass. They join Commissioners Manning, Mann, and
Hall. Commissioner Pendergrass will assume the duties of Chair
and Commissioner Kiker the Vice-Chair.
Both
new members have voiced support for BikeWalkLee's mission in response to our
candidate questionnaire and in meetings with our team. Chairman
Pendergrass was a former police officer which means he is well aware of land
use and road condition issues that affect the safety and well-being of
residents and visitors. Commissioner Kiker was the Fort Myers Beach Mayor
during the Town's construction of the model complete streets project on N.
Estero Blvd. and also initiated the recent pedestrian safety task force.
Many
challenges will face the Board in the coming months and we look forward to
working with the Board in support of complete streets and a new transportation
paradigm.
