Fort Myers Beach TOP NEWS
Making Preparations for Turtle Season
Turtle Time Right Around the Corner! As you inch along in traffic this St. Patrick’s Day Weekend, remember
the Shrimp Festival is now in your rear view mirror and Easter is just
two weeks away, meaning the end of Season is in sight! Once we get past
Easter, our residents’ northern migration will begin, officially marking
the end of Tourist Season near the second week of April. As people head
north, another annual Fort Myers Beach tradition begins – the advent of
Turtle Nesting Season! Before you leave the beach, Turtle Time, Inc.,
offers helpful hints to make your home or condominium Turtle Friendly. Eve Haverfield founded the non-profit Turtle Time, Inc., in 1989, to
save marine turtles on Big Hickory Island and Bonita, Bunche and Fort
Myers Beaches. “Turtle nesting season is officially from May 1 through
October 31,” she said, “but the State of Florida asks us to start
monitoring our zones beginning Sunday, April 15, as Gulf of Mexico
waters are already warming into the low-to-mid-70s, and we know turtles
are gathering in the area. Once the water reaches 80 degrees, that makes
conditions conducive for the nesting process, with mothers coming
on-shore to make their nests and lay eggs, so that is why we start
early, to not miss any nests. If you see turtle tracks, please report
them to us, as we appreciate all the eyes we can get out there. We have
had nests on Fort Myers Beach as early as April 25, because turtles pay
attention to the conditions and not the calendar!” FULL STORY

Council’s M & P Session Covers Multiple Topics
The Town of Fort Myers Beach Council enjoyed a rare light agenda and
brief meeting on Monday, March 5. Things returned to normal, however, on
Thursday, March 8, when its Management & Planning Session contained
numerous lengthy consequential items, including the monthly reFRESH
Estero Boulevard update, a Noise Ordinance delivery issue, and
conversations concerning the upcoming Big Carlos Bridge reconstruction,
Seafarer’s Mall property future usage, and the proposed Tax Increment
Financing (TIF) District, among other issues, lasting almost 4-1/2
hours. “Construction is moving as expected now for the roadway project,”
reported Doug Meurer, Assistant County Manager for Lee County. “We
anticipate the current segment to be complete by December, and work has
now accelerated so everything will be done by 2021.” “Wow!” exclaimed
Council member Anita Cereceda; “That’s super accelerated!” Council asked Meurer questions concerning a number of topics, such as
if Lee County has plans to take over management of the Bay Oak
Recreation Center, a presentation on Beach Accesses, potential safety
improvements as suggested at the recent Florida Department of
Transportation forum on February 27, future Estero Boulevard
landscaping, the April 1 transition of Building Permit Services from Lee
County to the Town, mail delivery issues on sidewalks and construction
zones, trolley & tram access to Bay Oaks, Big Carlos Bridge
construction and Seafarer’s Mall future usage. FULL STORY
