City to hold Transportation Plan workshop
The city of Sanibel will hold its Transportation Master Plan Public Workshop #2 on June 25 from 6 to 8 p.m. at The Community House, at 2173 Periwinkle Way, Sanibel, and livestreamed on Facebook.
At the first workshop, the consultant team presented preliminary findings and project ideas.
The second one will include a short presentation of project recommendations, followed by interactive open-house stations. Time will be designated for questions and answers from the team on the project.
“The public is welcome to share feedback and share ideas to help shape the final recommendations for the Transportation Master Plan,” the city reported.
Public input gathered during the workshop will directly inform the recommendations and help guide the future of transportation on the island.
With Volkert, Kittelson & Associates, and 24-7 Consulting, the city is developing the master plan to evaluate proposed improvements across Sanibel. It will document the current conditions of the island’s transportation system, establish a long-term vision for future mobility, and provide recommendations for implementation over the five-, 10- and 20-year timeframes. It will address key needs, including traffic congestion, wildlife-vehicle collisions, pedestrian and bicycle safety, and stormwater flooding.
The plan is scheduled to be completed in the fall, when it is anticipated that the planning commission will review the draft and then the city council will adopt the final plan with its recommendations.
