Subject:	The Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT), District One, is holding three open house “neighbor meetings” about the Cleveland Avenue (US 41) Pedestrian Safety Project from Winkler Avenue to Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Boulevard (State Road (SR) 82). In 2005, the City of Fort Myers Redevelopment Agency prepared a Master Plan for the Cleveland Avenue Redevelopment Area which included medians. The Master Plan for the Cleveland Avenue Redevelopment Area was approved in 2010, by the Fort Myers City Council. FDOT is working to improve safety on Cleveland Avenue in the downtown area. FDOT has obtained funding to build the safety improvements outlined in the City’s Master Plan and construction is expected to begin on these safety improvements in fall 2018. The project includes median construction and resurfacing from Winkler Avenue to south of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Boulevard. FDOT will construct a raised median and six mid-block crossings with overhead mounted pedestrian signals. The signals are called High-Intensity Activated crossWalK beacon (HAWK) signals or pedestrian hybrid beacons.
