This Public Kickoff Meeting is being conducted to give interested persons an opportunity to express their views concerning the location, conceptual design, and social, economic, and environmental effects of the proposed improvements to the Able Canal Pathway in Lee County, Florida, Financial Project ID No. 435351-1-22-01. The proposed shared-use pathway will traverse the north side of Able Canal in Lehigh Acres. The pathway will be approximately 5.58 miles in length. The purpose of the pathway is to facilitate the use of viable, non-motorized travel options for commuters and recreational users in the Able Canal corridor and within the Lehigh Acres community. The intent is to provide connections between nearby residential areas and Lehigh Acres park facilities. Numerous amenities will be considered, such as signing, knowledge stations, boardwalks, and pedestrian bridges.
