Agenda Item#1, *Call to Order, Introductions and Review of Agenda: Mr. Don Mayne, Chair, called the meeting

to order at 3:00 p.m., asked for introductions and welcomed guests. Mr. Al Giacolone moved to approve the

agenda, Mr. Keith Kibbey seconded the motion. The motion carried unanimously.

Agenda Item #2: *Approval of the August 17, 2016 Meeting Minutes: Mr. Keith Kibbey moved to approve the

August 17, 2016 meeting minutes, Mr. Damon Shelor seconded the motion. Mr. Giacolone noted there were

some agenda item numbers that did not match the sequence of the agenda; the secretary agreed to correct. The

motion was called to approve the minutes with the corrections noted; approved unanimously.

Agenda Item #3, Public Comments:

Representatives of the Yacht Club Colony (YCC) were again present to ask the committee to support their request

for a shared use path on Donald Road.

Ms. Luisa Gonzalez, a Lehigh resident, expressed concern about the lack of sidewalks in Lehigh, specifically

Leonard Boulevard. After some discussion, committee members informed Ms. Gonzalez that funding for a path on

Leonard Blvd. was already on the BPAC list.

Old Business

Agenda Item #4a: *Sidewalk Request Yacht Club Colony on Donald Road from Coon Road to Club House Road:

Mr. Mayne said the committee heard the community’s request for a shared use path in July, in August there was

further discussion and a video presentation. Following that, the committee requested an estimate for just a

sidewalk from Coon Road to the end of the Eagles Enclave project. Staff estimated the cost for a sidewalk from

Coon Road to Jones Road at $535,000 as compared to a shared use path for that same section at an estimated cost of

$508,000. Staff explained that the sidewalk was more costly because it is concrete versus asphalt for a shared use

path. The majority of the cost was piping for drainage. The original estimate for an 8 ft. shared use path from Coon

Road to Club House Road was $1.6 Million with a BPAC score of 25.47 out of 100.

LEE COUNTY

BICYCLE/PEDESTRIAN MEETING MINUTES

September 21, 2016


The committee noted that the BPAC score was still too low to put the project on the list and suggested residents look

for alternate sources of funding, perhaps an MSTU, similar to a street lighting district. More discussion followed.

The committee agreed that this project has merit but even if added to the list, was ranked so low that it would be

years before it would be funded. The committee was divided on whether to add the project regardless of ranking to

give the project status. The residents reminded the committee that the original request was made four years ago but

because of the low ranking the project was not added to the list; now the need has increased and they have returned

again asking for help.

Mr. Pat Connor made a motion to put the Yacht Club Colony request for a shared use path on the list to give the

project status. Ms. Jane Bowser seconded. Opened for discussion.

Mr. Kibbey was not opposed to adding projects with merit regardless of ranking in order to provide the

Commissioners with a complete picture of needs. Mr. Giacolone was concerned about setting a precedent of adding

projects indiscriminately. With respect to this particular project, because of extensive problems with the road and

the drainage and elevation issues that will need to be addressed in the future, he was not inclined to support the

motion.

A vote was taken. The motion passed with 5 votes; 2 votes opposed.

Agenda Item #4b: Tiger V Grant Wayfinding Signs:

Mr. Dave Wheaton reported on the progress of the MPO’s Bicycle Pedestrian working group concerning

wayfinding signs for bike paths within the Tiger grant area. He reviewed a powerpoint presentation stating that

Alternative #3 had been chosen as the standard kiosk sign; it is intended that this design will be consistent

throughout the county. The signs would be for regional destinations, no more than three to a sign. For directional

signs, it was decided to stay with blue to avoid any confusion with other signs. The design has been sent to the

vendor for a quote and costs should be back in 3 or 4 weeks. The capital expense (cost of signs) will be covered

by Tiger Grant money; maintenance, once the signs are up, is still an issue as Lee County has not agreed to

maintain the signs. Mr. Gogoi said the MPO is also working with the City of Fort Myers and Bonita Springs on

how many signs they will need and also giving them a heads up on the maintenance going forward. Mr. Shelor

asked who has the responsibility for maintenance in other tourist destinations. Mr. Wheaton did not know but

agreed to speak with the Alta Planning + Design representatives about that.

Mr. Connor said he was in favor of the wayfinding signs. He thought the committee should consider instituting a

system to prioritize where the signs should be placed first. Mr. Giacolone said that there are already wayfinding

signs in unincorporated Lee County and asked staff who paid for them and who maintains them. Staff did not

have a definite answer but knew that one of the signs had been replaced by DOT. This is a very tourist driven

area and the signs promote the area. It would seem that this would be an appropriate use of tourist development

funds but unfortunately the state dictates where those funds can be spent. He was also in favor of the signs, but

not if Project # 206002 funding gets reduced as a result.

Mr. Mayne made a motion for the BPAC committee to write a letter to the Commissioners supporting the

wayfinding program, and thanking them for additional funding in the CIP. Seconded by Mr. Wheaton. Mr.

Mayne agreed to draft the letter and bring it to the next meeting for committee discussion. A vote was taken;

the motion carried unanimously.

Agenda Item #4c, MPO Crash Report: No Update.


New Business

Agenda Item #5a, Safe Routes to School:

Ms. Dawn Huff, Long Range Planner with the Lee County School District, accompanied by Ms. Nena Garrett, Road

Safety Supervisor, made a presentation concerning the Safe Routes to School program. Ms Huff handled the Safe

Route grants in the past, Ms. Garrett will handle the grant process in the future. Grants are funded through a

federal program established in 2005. Safe Routes to School became eligible for funding in October 2012.

The grant process is a joint effort between the school district and local governments. Applications are managed

through the Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) on a cost-reimbursement basis; the local government

provides funding and then is reimbursed by FDOT.

Applications, prepared by the District, are submitted to the local FDOT District Safe Routes to School Coordinator.

There are very strict guidelines and she reviewed the criteria for eligible projects which included:

• Pedestrian facilities (sidewalks, pathways)

• Bicycle Facilities (bike racks, shelters, bike lockers)

• Traffic Control Devices (crosswalks, pavement markings, traffic signs)

• Traffic Calming (roundabouts, speed humps)

Ineligible projects include those that require the purchase of right of way; sidewalks or pathways on school

property; facilities that should be addressed with other funds to meet ADA requirements; or other items that are

considered regular maintenance.

The School District Transportation Office (Transportation) maintains a list of locations where walking conditions are

considered hazardous. Typically buses are not provided within 2 miles of schools, but if there is not an area at least

4 feet wide adjacent to the road, Transportation will evaluate the location of the complaint and may provide busing.

Other potential projects, taken from the list that Transportation maintains as well as projects submitted by the local

government, are reviewed to determine which projects would benefit the largest number of school children. The

application process is very detailed and time consuming. The first step of the process is a meeting with local

governments, through the Metropolitan Planning Organization (MPO) to decide on the projects to submit (up to

five). Following that:

• Set up community meetings with the principal at related schools to include associated local government,

District staff, law enforcement & CSTS member

• Advertise meeting

• Have schools complete survey and tally sheet and input data

• Begin preparing and obtaining data for application

• Submit to MPO, who then submits to FDOT.

The applications must be reviewed by MPO and must have the MPO’s recommendation. Staff said that the

application also requires the project to be on BPAC’s list as confirmation that the project has merit.

Ms. Huff reviewed the projects funded by the SRTS since its inception in 2007-2008 ($570,000). If not approved

through the SRTS program, there may be funding through other sources but an application cannot have 50% of the

cost attributed to drainage. Projects funded through other sources is over $1M to date.

Ms. Huff reviewed the timelines, stating the normal application process is usually 4 months, but this year it is

abbreviated and she was not sure what would get completed by the December 31st deadline. She talked about new

application and submittal guidelines and Mr. Gogoi spoke about the uncertainty of how FDOT was going to

administer funds going forward.


Ms. Huff confirmed that someone had been in touch about a sidewalk for Ottumwa. The committee asked about the

Tanglewood project which had been presented to the committee last year. Mr. Gogoi confirmed that the

Tanglewood project was one of four projects that has been approved for funding and should be showing up as a

design/build project in the FDOT work program soon, although he was still waiting for confirmation from FDOT.

Mr. Giacolone asked that the Ottumwa project be placed on next month’s agenda in order to talk about approving it

for the BPAC list to comply with SRTS application requirements.

Agenda Item #5b, *Earl Road Sidewalk Request:

Mr. Wagley stated that Mr. Dan Moser had contacted LDOT about a sidewalk on Earl Road which is within the City

of Fort Myers, but maintained by Lee County. Mr. Moser provided a letter from the manager of the Broadway

Apartments, asking for sidewalks along Earl Road to connect to the existing sidewalk in front of their complex to

assist their residents. Specifically the request is for a sidewalk to fill the gap on the west side in front of the car

dealership, and a sidewalk on the east side to Broadway. Staff provided a cost estimate for the east gap at $38,000,

due in part to a drainage ditch with piping that would need to be extended, and an estimate for the west gap at

$37,000. The east gap has a BPAC score of 35; the west scored 44. Staff has contacted the car dealership about its

encroachment into the right of way; it is a situation that the dealership has agreed to fix. Mr. Wagley submitted an

RFA to DOT Operations for the sidewalk on the south side. After discussion it was decided to consider this one

project. The better point score will be used.

Mr. Connor made a motion to add the Earl Road Sidewalk project to the BPAC list. Ms. Bowser seconded. A

vote was taken and the motion carried unanimously.

Agenda Item #5c, *Re-evaluation of CIP Projects:

Mr. David Murphy referred to the list that he uses to keep track of where projects are in the CIP process (bid,

design, permit, build). He did site visits for two projects recently, the East 12th St. SW North project in Lehigh

(Gerald Ave – Joel Blvd.) and the Boy Scout Drive project (Ped Safety Imp. Summerlin Rd & US41). The E 12th Street

project was originally for a sidewalk to connect a bus stop to Joel and Gerald, but since that time Lee Tran built a

bus shelter and a connecting sidewalk to Joel Blvd. which fulfills Lee Trans mission for that area. Staff said to

extend the sidewalk west to Gerard would be quite costly, $70,000 due to unforeseen drainage issues, and the bus

stop would only service 7 or 8 houses. Mr. Murphy suggested removing the project so that the reserved funds could

be used elsewhere.

Mr. Damon Shelor made the motion to remove the East 12th Street project from the CIP list. Seconded by Mr.

Connor. The motion carried unanimously.

Mr. Murphy and two engineers walked the Boy Scout site and found that the original vision (curb ramps, pedestrian

refuge islands, moving medians out) for that intersection had changed. After evaluating the area, he and the

engineers determined that the best course of action was to make everything ADA compliant using ADA funds

instead of Project # 206002. This means replacing pedestrian ramps, repairing an asphalt path and fixing some trip

hazards. Mr. Murphy said removing this project from the CIP list would free up another $300,000.

Mr. Wheaton made a motion to remove this project from the CIP list. Seconded by Mr. Shelor. Following a

discussion about which projects might be moved up on the list as a result of the removal of these two projects, a

vote was taken and the motion was approved unanimously.


Agenda Item # 6 Member Comments:

Mr. Kibby asked if Mr. Murphy’s list had been updated to address the Estero Parkway funding following the

9/20/16 board meeting. Mr. Murphy said the Board’s decision was to fund 100% of the sidewalk but he did not

know whether all of the money would come from reserves but would check and report back.

Mr. Connor referred to a letter from Darla Letourneau of BikeWalkLee to the Commissioners in connection with the

FY16/17 budget. He commented that it contained good information and recommendations with respect to Bike/Ped

Facilities and CIP projects.

Agenda Item #7, Staff Comments:

Mr. Murphy met with a constituent recently about a project on the BPAC list and was concerned that citizens are

confused about the rankings on the BPAC list versus the CIP list. The committee assured Mr. Murphy that every

effort is made to explain to applicants that this is a very lengthy process.

Mr. Wagley said he would need the updated BPAC priority list by December and suggested it be added as an

agenda item for next month. He also reported that as part of the county’s streamlining effort he, Andy Getch and

Lili Wu, the Transportation Planning division, has become part of Community Development and moved to the

second floor.
