Town of Fort Myers Beach Acknowledges 
Need for Bike Lanes 
If you have ever rode your bike on Estero Boulevard you know that traffic on that County road can be  dangerous, especially with the Beach's narrow segments known as the Core area and Civic Complex sections. A planned Saturday bicycle ride with Town officials and other outside groups confirmed that fact. Due to only 50 feet of right-of-way on those segments and an uneven terrain, the bicyclists faced issues such as narrow passageways, bumpy situations, vehicle egress and ingress off of side streets and some traffic worries like vehicles getting too close as they passed by.
