PLACE: Lee Civic Center, Whaley Hall Building, 11831 Bayshore Road, North Fort Myers, Florida, 33917

GENERAL SUBJECT MATTER TO BE CONSIDERED: The Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT), District One, is conducting a Project Development and Environment (PD&E) study and will host a public information meeting to discuss the proposed pathway improvements along Bayshore Road (State Road 78) from Park 78 Drive to State Road 31 in Lee County, Florida.

The meeting will be an open house format with a video presentation playing continuously throughout the meeting. FDOT encourages interested parties to attend this meeting to review the pathway alternatives being evaluated. FDOT representatives will be available during the meeting to discuss the project and to answer questions. This meeting is being held to allow interested persons an opportunity to be informed and to provide comments.

The proposed project will provide a safe, viable non-motorized travel option for commuters and recreational users along the Bayshore Road corridor and the North Fort Myers community, improving multimodal accessibility to area destinations while minimizing potential impacts to the natural and human environments.

The environmental review, consultation, and other actions required by applicable federal environmental laws for this project are being, or have been, carried-out by FDOT pursuant to 23 U.S.C. §327 and a Memorandum of Understanding dated December 14, 2016, and executed by FHWA and FDOT.
