LIFE ON FORT MYERS BEACH


Changes Ahead For Estero Boulevard Project



Big changes are coming next week for motorists on Estero Boulevard. With the sanitary sewer line installation making its way to School Street and the end of the first segment, workers for Lee County’s Estero Boulevard Reconstruction Project will begin grading the south bound (Gulf side) lane from Avenue C to Miramar Street in preparation of putting in the center line drainage system. “This is going to be a big shift in regards to what people are used to seeing,” said Kaye Molnar, spokesperson for the project. “When the project is finished, the new drainage system will actually be in the middle of the boulevard, so the road will slope towards the center. Since there is already a drainage system in place from Crescent Street to Avenue C (near the Lani Kai), it’s not necessary to put one in, but we will be putting in the new system from Avenue C south to – eventually – the entire island.” Read the rest of the story here: http://goo.gl/o5hUAo


What’s Next for the Waterline Replacement Project?
In December 2013, the Town of Fort Myers Beach began an epic, island-wide project to replace its aging water utility called the ‘reFRESH Waterlines Replacement Program’. With that project well into its third year and a new Town Council sitting on the dais, the team tasked with working on it – three members of Town staff, the engineering firm Tetra Tech, Mitchell & Stark Construction, Johnson Engineering (surveying) and Kaye Molnar of the Public Relations firm Molnar & Associates – gave a presentation at Monday’s Council workshop covering the history of the project, what’s been completed so far, and what’s next.

NEWS:

Could a concert stage bring TDC dollars to Times Square?

However, the challenge for getting the town's desired projects accepted remains. The problem has become a frustration to the point that the town is inviting a TDC representative to attend an upcoming Town Council meeting to help walk them through the application process.

Town looks for stronger code enforcement

Town Looks for Stronger Code Enforcement
When it comes to code enforcement, Fort Myers Beach is looking to put some bite where its bark is. On Monday, the Town Council gave permission to program coordinator Kara Stewart to hire a second employee in the area in order to increase its desire for greater compliance. The position is in the budget. "So far, we've been more reactive than proactive," said Stewart, who said the town's staff is now better organized and equipped to pursue violators.- See more at: http://goo.gl/cycqZV
