Planning For Future Travel
Needs
Travelers in Southwest Florida are faced with increasing traffic
congestion and delays as the demands of a rapidly growing
population put additional stress on existing roadways. In order to
improve mobility for the traveling public, a regional study has
been completed. Lee County, the city of Cape Coral and Charlotte
County funded a transportation corridor study from Interstate 75
(I-75) in Lee County west along Colonial Boulevard and Veterans
Parkway, then north along Burnt Store Road to a connection at I-75
in Charlotte County. The study route traveled through the cities
of Fort Myers, Cape Coral, and Punta Gorda. These communities also
participated in this preliminary needs study.
