When it comes to downtown neighborhoods, Fort Myers residents are mainly concerned with one thing: getting around.
About 70 people attended a public meeting Tuesday about the redevelopment of central Fort Myers, hoping to share ideas, visions and concerns about what the future might hold.
Central Fort Myers – which is bordered by U.S. 41, Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard, and Evans and Edison avenues – is home to many underused and vacant properties, and the Fort Myers Community Redevelopment Agency held the meeting to ask for public input.
But most people seemed to be concerned with being able to park, hopping on some kind of transportation and walking from place to place.
