8.A. Immokalee TIGER Grant Complete Streets Project — Collier County
Mr. Tisch: project adds 20 miles of new sidewalk, a shared -use path, bike boulevard, street
lighting, bus shelters, new CAT Transfer Station, landscaping, and stormwater drainage
improvements; project cost $22.9 million
Ms. Fendrick: What are the characteristics of a bike boulevard? Mr. Tisch: Signage and
bike sharrows. Ms. Halman: Why not doing anything on New Market? How will new Loop Rd
affect it? Mr. Tisch: Sidewalks were just installed on both sides of New Market. Ms. Halman:
It's still dangerous; all the schools are located on one side; lots of trucks use New Market; can
hardly cross it. Ms. Lantz: PD&E for new Loop Rd. just finished; no construction start date. Mr.
Tisch: anticipates Phase 1 construction to start in November; largest grant County ever received.
Ms. Fendrick: Does it build off Walkability Study? Ms. Lantz: Yes. Grant includes 80% of Tier
1 sidewalks. Mr. Tisch: Public meeting at CRA office on May 25th from 5:00 pm to 7:00 pm.
8.B. Old 41 PD&E Study — FDOT
Mr. Andrews: Introduced Matt Dockins, RK&K, to give presentation in agenda packet.
Mr. Dockins: Design cost $3M, construction cost estimate $85M; improves safety, adds
bike/ped facilities, address congestion, and serve County industrial park; 2 alignment alternatives:
1) New quadrant road southeast corner Bonita Beach Rd intersection (former racetrack property)
2
alleviates congestion at Bonita Beach Rd and Old 41 intersection, provides cut through to I-75; 2)
cut off connection to US 41 south of Veterans Memorial Blvd and remove existing signal on US
41; add signals at Veterans Memorial Blvd and Railhead Drive (industrial park); provide U-turn
bulb -outs to allow trucks to make left turn/turn around; working with MPO to find funding for
design, ROW, and construction; held two public workshops in April, one in -person, one virtual,
received 300 comments; FAQs to be added to project website.
Ms. Huff. Will new traffic signals add to congestion; does project continue north of Bonita
Beach Rd? Mr. Dockins: Signals can be timed to platoon through corridor; will lessen congestion
at either end of project. No plans to go further north. Ms. Fendrick: Why is a sidewalk not
included in Lee County section? Mr. Dockins: City of Bonita Springs request — not a lot of
destinations on east side. When racetrack property development occurs, a sidewalk will be
required. Ms. Fendrick: The sidewalk just ends? Mr. Dockins: Extends to entry to Spanish Wells.
Shared -Use Path will T into railroad crossing, coordinating with railroad. Mr. Matond: ROW
costs mostly attributable to new quadrant road? Mr. Dockins: ROW will be donated by new
development; ROW costs attributable to stormwater ponds, intersections, railroad crossing. [in
response to further questions]; new quadrant road is consistent with Bonita Beach Rd Vision Plan;
the four historic sites are the roadway, the railroad track, the racetrack, and the donut shop.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
REPORTS AND PRESENTATIONS
ITEM 8A
MPO Report and Discussion Items
OBJECTIVE: For MPO staff to report on the status of several topics of interest to the committee, followed
by discussion and recommendations as needed.
CONSIDERATIONS:
1. Joint BPAC Meeting — The Collier and Lee MPOs traditionally host an annual joint BPAC meeting.
Due to logistical difficulties, Lee MPO has proposed instead that the respective committee Chairs
attend each other's meeting and give an update on planning activities of mutual interest. Staff is
seeking the committee's input on potential reporting topics.
2. 2022 Bicycle & Pedestrian Priorities — The MPO Board discussed two priority projects at length
before voting on them - the Bike/Ped Trail Crossing at Golden Gate Parkway, Freedom Park, and
the Gordon River Greenway, and the three Naples Park Sidewalk projects. In the end, the Board
voted to support the three Naples Park Sidewalk projects but eliminated the Bike-Ped Trail
Crossing (ranked #11) as shown in Attachment 1. Staff will report on the discussion that preceded
the vote and options the committee may wish to recommend staff pursue.
3. Outlook for SU Funding — Staff will report on multiple factors that may impact the availability of
SU funds for programming new bike/ped project priorities in FY28 and beyond.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION: That the committee have the opportunity to discuss these topics, ask
questions, and make recommendations as needed.

ITEM 813
Lee MPO Rail -Trail Feasibility Study Update
OBJECTIVE: For the committee to receive an update on the Lee MPO Rail -Trail Feasibility Study.
CONSIDERATIONS: In March 2021, the Lee County MPO partnered with the City of Bonita Springs
and the Village of Estero to conduct a feasibility study for the construction of a public multi -use trail within
the Seminole Gulf Railway (SGLR) corridor. Study area boundaries are Alico Road (north), Bonita Beach
Road (south), I-75 (east), US 41 (west), passing through the City of Bonita Springs and the Village of Estero
and ending at the Collier/Lee County line. The study evaluates three potential trail alignments for
connectivity, project readiness, service, and user experience; and includes an analysis of right-of-way
(ROW) and environmental impacts; and safety, security, and maintenance needs. The study will be used to
select a preferred alignment for further analysis. The Rail -Trail feasibility study will be completed in
September 2022. (Attachment 1).
The Lee Rail -Trail segment will be part of the FDOT Southwest Coast Regional Connector and Gulf Coast
Trail initiative to build a continuous multi -use trail from Tampa to Naples, tying into the Legacy Trail
network to the north and the Paradise Coast Trail in Collier County (south). The Study is funded by a grant
from the Florida Department of Transportation's (FDOT) Shared Use Network (SUN) Trail Program with
local match provided by the City of Bonita Springs and the Village of Estero.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION: That the committee receive the presentation and have the opportunity
to ask questions.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
REPORTS AND PRESENTATIONS
ITEM 8D
Gulf Coast Trail Update
OBJECTIVE: For the committee to receive a presentation on progress made on the Gulf Coast Trail.
(Attachment 1)
CONSIDERATIONS: When complete, the Gulf Coast Trail (GCT) will provide a 336-mile non -motorized
shared use corridor in Southwest Florida connecting the cities of Tampa, St. Petersburg, Clearwater,
Palmetto, Bradenton, Sarasota, Venice, North Port, Fort Myers, Cape Coral, and Naples, and is part of
Florida's statewide SUN Trail network.
Recent activity on the GCT includes construction of the Port Charlotte Gateway — Harbor Walk in 2021,
and the Punta Gorda US-41 Multi -use Recreational Trail in 2020; studies being conducted on the corridor
include the Old US-41 Project Development & Environmental (PD&E) Study in Lee and Collier Counties,
and the Paradise Coast Trail Feasibility Study.
• Port Charlotte Gateway — Harbor Walk: Located in Charlotte County, this project provides a safe non -
motorized bike/ped route on the Peace River that cross under US-41 connecting to Live Oak Point Park
and the Charlotte Harbor National Harbor Estuary.
• US 41 Multi -use Recreational Trail: Located in Punta Gorda, the project entailed the construction of a
110-foot pedestrian bridge across the North Fork Alligator Creek. The trail is located on the eastern
side of US 41 and closes a gap on the US-41 Multi -use Recreational Trail.
• Old US 41 PD&E Study: The study examines environmental and design impacts from proposed
improvements proposed to relieve congestion and accommodate future growth. The study area is
broken into two segments due to the project being located in Collier and Lee Counties. Proposed
improvements include adding new driving lanes and bicycle/pedestrian facilities. The final report is
expected in November 2022. Construction is not funded at this time.
• Paradise Coast Trail: The Paradise Coast Trail feasibility study is complete and the MPO submitted the
revised Paradise Coast Trail alignment to the Office of Greenway and Trails in May 2022. The revised
alignment cleans up the Livingston Road trail segment including the FPL easement, removes the trail
segment through Rookery Bay, and realigns the connection at Rich King Greenway/Rattlesnake
Hammock Rd to extend eastward to Collier Blvd and then south to US 41. The Livingston FPL Trail
Extension from Radio Road to the Collier/Lee County line PD&E Study is programmed for funding in
FY 2026.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION: That the committee receive the presentation and have the opportunity
to ask questions.
