Fort Myers city leaders are considering a proposal to install new lighting and design enhancements underneath the Caloosahatchee Bridge.
The goal is to transform the underpass into a safer, more welcoming area for pedestrians and cyclists.
The project is being advanced by the Fort Myers Community Redevelopment Agency.
Officials said the Caloosahatchee Bridge also serves as a prominent gateway into downtown and a key part of the city’s waterfront identity.
According to CRA staff, the proposed lighting improvements would brighten the space beneath the bridge, improve visibility and strengthen connections for pedestrians.
CRA staff have been working closely with the Florida Department of Transportation to move the project forward.
Funding for the project would come from the Downtown Trust Fund.
