Public Charrette: Public Input Summary of Stakeholder Comments: Provide a Safe Bicycle Network Support a walkable, multimodal network and complete streets Improved pedestrian access throughout Downtown Naples Examine pedestrian access along alley between 5th Ave. South and 6th Ave. South Motorized Travel Concerned with peak season traffic Concerned that a reduction in lanes on 9th Street would result in traffic diverted through the adjacent neighborhoods Concerned with truck traffic along 5th Avenue South Non-Motorized Travel Support more bike lanes within Downtown Naples Limit bike lanes to a few key streets Provide Facilities in an Equitable and Cost-Efficient Manner Incorporate ADA accessibility throughout entire study area
Public Charrette: Public Input Summary of Stakeholder Comments (continued): Promote Mobility Options Not sure about more roundabouts Consider roundabout at 4 Corners Divert regional traffic to Airport Pulling, Livingston or Collier Boulevard Supports Complete Street initiative Provide more trolley service Promote Economic Development Right size US 41 with on-street parking, street trees, midblock crossings Enhance Community Quality of Life Improve pedestrian access around downtown, hotels, Naples Square & Tin City Improve access to Greenway
