Big Carlos Pass Bridge Meeting
Repair or Replace? The Lee County Department of Transportation (DOT) will hold a Public
Workshop and Open House on Big Carlos Bridge Repair/Replacement options
on Thursday, January 18 from 5-7pm at Bay Oaks Recreation Center, 2731
Oak St, Fort Myers Beach. Built in 1965, the Big Carlos Bridge on Estero Blvd. (County Road
865) is 52 years old. Due to its age, it is in need of repair or
replacement. The need for the project is based on a number of
deficiencies of the existing bridge resulting from age and long-term
exposure to the aggressive saltwater environment. As one of the bridges
serving the chain of islands forming Estero Bay, the Big Carlos Bridge
is a critically important infrastructure asset that must be maintained,
making this project a high priority for both the County and the
Metropolitan Planning Organization. FULL STORY

every Thursday through Spring from 9:30 to 11 a.m. This inspirational
walk through one of Florida’s original aquatic preserves examines the
diverse plant and animal communities in this maritime oak hammock,
transitional wetland, and mangrove forest ecosystem at 199 Bay Road,
with limited free parking, just down the road from the Fort Myers Beach
Public Library. Jim Rodwell, a Florida master naturalist and long-time
Fort Myers Beach nature expert, is the endlessly-fascinating guide,

90-minutes fly by! FULL STORY
