Roundabouts are one of the tools of complete streets, providing traffic calming and making it safer for all road users. It's exciting to see LeeDOT put forth this proposal. I hope you'll consider attending the workshop.

Watching closely--Naples considers re-routing US 41 to make it more pedestrian & business friendly
Over the past several months, the Naples community, led by the Naples Community Redevelopment Agency, with active involvement of the Naples Pathways Coalition, has been considering a proposal to re-route US 41 through Naples to make downtown more pedestrian- and business-friendly. On Monday, there was a public workshop to hear from Naples residents. Click here to read the News-Press article, and here to read the Naples Daily News article.
Why does this matter to Lee County?? First Sarasota, then Bradenton, and now Naples all see the benefits of making their downtown more pedestrian-friendly and are working to make changes on US 41 in their downtown areas. Who knows, maybe making changes on US 41 in downtown Fort Myers to make it more pedestrian-friendly is something in our future. Stay tuned.

LeeTran providing FREE TRANSIT DAY April 19th!
Join your colleagues, your neighbors, your fellow Lee County citizens in the Taking it to the Streets campaign April 13 through April 23. The goal is to have as many people as possible riding Lee Tran buses, coordinating carpools, biking or walking to their destinations. Lee County and Lee Tran are generously donating free bus rides on Free Transit day April 19th.
“The VMRs or Vehicle Miles Reduced to be recorded as a result of this campaign are one gauge of community demand for alternative transportation. A good showing will certainly send a stronger message that we are serious about wanting real changes here…accessible, safe alternatives to the current state of being forced to drive everywhere. To better the economic and physical health of this community and our individual citizens we seek the full range of options for functional transportation choices.” - Ann Pierce, BikeWalkLee
