New Shared-use Path To Bowman’s Beach & Other Improvements
As reported in the News-Press:
Sanibel Island Public Works Department Capital Improvement Projects As of October 1, 2014, Source: City Of Sanibel.
“City leaders recently learned they’d scored a $200,000 matching grant from the state Department of Environmental Protection to help build a half-mile-long, shared-use path to Bowman’s Beach Park.
Shared-use paths are off-limits to motor vehicles. They typically are paved, are wider than sidewalks and used by cyclists, pedestrians, dog-walkers, and people using wheelchairs and other forms of mobility assistance.
This new segment will take people across Sanibel-Captiva Road on a new crosswalk, and then onto a paved path that will parallel Bowman’s Beach Road before veering west, and ending near the park’s restrooms, playground and picnic area.” news-press.com
Other Public Works Department Capital Improvement Projects in process for 2014 or planned for 2015 include Dinkins Bayou Dredging, Lighthouse Beach Restroom Construction and a Tarpon Bay Road (north) Shared Use Path.
