BACKGROUND:
The attached Resolution will authorize the City Manager to execute a Local Agency Program (LAP) Agreement with the Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) for the construction of the Collier Boulevard Alternate Bike Lanes - North and South Segments Project.
This Project will provide in-road bike lanes as an alternate route for bicycle traffic currently traveling either north or south along Collier Boulevard, which is the most heavily traveled roadway on Marco Island and does not have sufficient roadway to accommodate bicycle traffic or bicycle lanes. The Project will gain leverage from the bike lanes previously installed on Landmark Street (FPN #4308761), and will also provide important linkages to the two major east/west bike lanes currently on San Marco Road and Winterberry Drive, and to the Sun Trail and Spine Pathways.
FDOT advised the City that it is eligible to receive a transportation grant in the amount of $2,543,099.00 for the construction of this project. The City contributed $190,067 from the FY 22 & 23 budgets for the survey and design of this project.

Funds for the project are contained within the proposed FY24 Capital Budget in account number 300-5400-5410-606300-16035.
