The City of Cape Coral is developing a Traffic Calming Policy to address resident concerns about high vehicle volume, speeding, and cut-through traffic on residential roads. The policy aims to reduce traffic speeds and volumes. The proposed policy outlines steps for project initiation, plan development, plan approval, and implementation. The document also details common traffic calming measures like speed humps and speed cushions, with associated costs. Anticipated costs for implementing a city-wide policy include consultant fees, a new full-time employee, and installation costs.

[Diplomat Parkway] The East/West Corridor Study, initially completed in September 2012, is being updated to reflect current traffic data, access management, and development patterns. The update will reassess potential impacts to adjacent properties, including right-of-way needs, access, utility conflicts, costs, and redevelopment conditions. Recommendations for Diplomat Parkway include a 4-lane divided controlled access typical section in Sections 1, 2, & 3, estimated to be needed by 2035. This new road would be built south of the existing roadway, with current westbound lanes becoming a two-way frontage road. The southern alignment was chosen to avoid impacts to buildings and utilities on the north side, requiring 125' of acquisition on the southern side for a 225' typical section. The study is guided by the Multimodal Transportation Master Plan, where it is Priority Project #2. The updated study will include travel demand modeling for potential 6-laning, access management strategies, right-of-way needs, analysis of adjacent land uses, multimodal enhancements, updated costs, and operations, safety, drainage, and regional connectivity. [Cape Coral Parkway] The Cape Coral Parkway is undergoing a 6-laning update. Specific details regarding the scope, timeline, or decision were not provided in the document. The North 1 West Utilities Extension Project has achieved substantial completion for all contracts, with contractors finishing road work and punchlist items. All areas are now available for connection to potable water, irrigation, and sewer. The North 1 East Utilities Extension Project has awarded Contracts 7-10 and Master Pump Station 725, with a Notice to Proceed issued for all. Contract 11 documents are being prepared for bid. Right-of-way and easements for two roundabouts are being acquired, with truck aprons to be pavers and centers landscaped. A conservation easement issue is being addressed with FDEP. A 6' sidewalk will be constructed on the west side of NE 24th Avenue. For North 3 Design, a design amendment was approved in November 2025, incorporating roundabouts at Burnt Store Road and Tropicana, and Burnt Store Road and Kismet. Bid documents are expected by summer 2026, with a Notice to Proceed for construction by the end of 2026. North 3 Design is 75% complete. [Cultural Park Blvd, Embers Pkwy West, Embers Pkwy East of Chiquita, Viscaya Pkwy, Shelby Pkwy, Surfside Blvd, Averill Blvd and Del Prado Intersection, Tropicana Pkwy and Santa Barbara Blvd Intersection, Andalusia Blvd and Diplomat Pkwy Intersection, Kismet Pkwy East (Andalusia Blvd - Del Prado N Intersection), Skyline Blvd, Surfside Blvd] Several median landscape projects and curbing updates are in progress or planned. Cultural Park Blvd has 1.35 miles of concrete median curbing installed by city crews, nearing completion. A 61,000 sqft median landscape project with trees, groundcover, sod, and irrigation is completed and under warranty. Embers Pkwy West (1 mile) is in site prep for palms, ground cover, irrigation, MOT, and mobilization. Embers Pkwy East of Chiquita (1.5 miles) involves curbing, trees, groundcover, sod, and irrigation, with construction to begin after Council approval. Viscaya Pkwy (0.84 miles) is in the bid solicitation process for foundational landscape with trees and Bahia sod, with construction anticipated in Q4 FY26. Shelby Pkwy (0.71 miles) is in bid solicitation for foundational landscape with trees, sod, and irrigation, with construction anticipated in Q4 FY26. Surfside Blvd (1.34 miles) is developing 60% landscape plans for intersection medians. Averill Blvd and Del Prado Intersection (1.81 miles), Tropicana Pkwy and Santa Barbara Blvd Intersection (1.1 miles), and Andalusia Blvd and Diplomat Pkwy Intersection (0.75 miles) are all developing 60% landscape plans for intersection medians. Kismet Pkwy East (Andalusia Blvd - Del Prado N Intersection) (1 mile) has completed landscape design and is seeking additional funding. Median Beautification Projects (Adopt-a-Median) at Skyline Blvd and Surfside Blvd have completed landscape design and are seeking additional funding. A new Facilities Greenspace Maintenance contract is to be awarded and started April 1, 2026. A new Median Greenspace Maintenance contract is awaiting Council approval. Roadway resurfacing projects for FY2026 are underway. Local Road Resurfacing includes over 70 lane miles with a budget of $6.2 million, contractor Pavement Maintenance Incorporated (PMI), with Notice to Proceed on March 23, 2026. Major Road Resurfacing includes over 30 lane miles with a budget of $5.6 million, contractor AJAX Paving Industries, with Notice to Proceed on April 24, 2026. Pavement Preservation includes over 230 lane miles with a budget of $1.8 million, contractor Pavement Technologies (PTI), with contract awarded and Notice to Proceed TBD. Spot Paving includes an estimated 80 locations with an estimated budget of $1.4 million, contractor TBD, currently in bid process. Alley Resurfacing FY26 has a budget of $520 thousand, with number of alleys TBD, contractor TBD, currently in specification writing. A citywide roundabout study is evaluating 27 intersections for feasibility, with conceptual designs for up to ten locations and 30% preliminary engineering drawings and cost estimates for three priority locations. Public engagement activities are included. The Multimodal Transportation Master Plan, approved March 14, 2024, directs this evaluation. An LAP Agreement with FDOT was approved April 2, 2025. The LeeTran Transit Development Plan (TDP) is a 10-year guide for planning, policy, and service development. Short-term (Years 1-3, 2026-2028) service changes are cost-neutral and will involve reallocating resources from low ridership areas, affecting Routes 40, 70, 120, and 595 in Cape Coral. Mid to long-term (Years 4-10, 2029-2035) plans include improving service frequency, adding one new route, extending two routes, and introducing Mobility on Demand (MoD) service, which is currently unfunded. Cape Coral service impacts include an additional bus on Route 70, a new route on Pine Island Rd, and MoD service between corridors. MoD service is being piloted in Bonita Springs (Ultra MoD, 16.5 sq miles, $1.7M annual operating cost) and Lehigh Acres (27 sq miles initially, expanded to 38.7 sq miles). LeeTran is transitioning from Uber's platform to its proprietary 'Ultra Mobility on Demand' app (via RideCo SaaS). Fares are $3.00 per ride. MoD benefits include smaller, flexible vehicles, curb-to-curb convenience, reduced wait times, real-time tracking, and serving areas with limited fixed-route access. Proposed MoD service area in Cape Coral is not detailed.
