Management and Planning Session Yields Surprising Topic
Welcome to Crescent Beach?
One of the key components to the Town of Fort Myers Beach Council’s
unanimous approval of the TPI-FMB Downtown Redevelopment Proposal, after
two marathon sessions of Monday & Tuesday, April 9 & 10, was
when TPI Board Chair Tom Torgerson agreed to the suggestion by Vice
Mayor Joanne Shamp to donate the former Ocean Jewels building, at the
base of the Matanzas Pass Bridge, now home to the Greater Fort Myers
Beach Chamber of Commerce, to the Town for a future Gateway entrance to
the island. Soon, and for generations to come, residents and visitors
may cross the bridge and see, “Welcome to Crescent Beach!” Crescent Beach? The surprising topic came up in an unexpected forum. After meeting
for almost 16 combined hours on TPI-FMB earlier in the week, before a
packed Council Chambers, the Management & Planning Session on
Thursday, April 12, did not even have a full panel, with Council member
Anita Cereceda on an excused absence. The audience section, with the
exception of a few Town staff and media, was completely empty. CONTINUE READING
How Do Paper Straws Hold Up
Some feature articles are dream assignments; others are
labors of love – this one is both! Roughly two-and-a-half months ago, on
February 4 – Super Bowl Sunday, oddly enough, one of the biggest bar
days on the year – the Town of Fort Myers Beach implemented its Plastic
Straw Ban Ordinance for all beach establishments. Ten weeks later, we
wondered: How do paper straws hold up under some of the beach’s favorite
beverages, and what are some of the beach’s bartenders hearing about
the new paper alternatives from their customers? The Town of Fort Myers Beach Council at its November 6, 2017, meeting
approved the new Ordinance that prohibits the distribution of plastic
straws though vending, sales, giving, deployment or delivering them for
any purpose, as when irresponsibly discarded, they pose an environmental
threat to the health, safety and welfare of the citizens and visitors
of Fort Myers Beach, as well as negatively impacting water quality and
the surrounding marine life. When Council passed the ordinance, it gave
beach businesses 90 days to go through their current plastic straw
inventory. There are a few exceptions to the ban, such as those used on
private property or at residences, by the Lee County School District or
beverages prepared and packaged outside the Town, like juice boxes with
straws. CONTINUE READING
