Lee County Metropolitan Planning Organization (MPO) wants to hear from you.
The MPO needs your help in identifying locations of chronic traffic jams in Lee County that might be alleviated using low-cost improvements such as the synchronization of traffic signals, the construction or extension of turn lanes or other intersection improvements, and the installation of motorist advisory systems. The MPO is especially seeking projects which could improve the operation and safety of the existing transportation system without resorting to major construction projects such as adding travel lanes or building new roads, bridges or overpasses.

Do you have any suggestions for possible solutions?
The MPO is especially interested in identifying traffic problems in Lee County that might be alleviated using relatively low-cost or "quick fix" improvements within existing rights of way--things like traffic signal retiming or synchronization, the construction or extension of turn lanes or other minor intersection improvements, the designation of reversible lanes or one-way streets, changes in road signing or striping, encouraging employers to stagger their business hours, or providing incentives to increase car pooling or the use of buses, bicycles or less congested routes--that could improve the operation and safety of the existing transportation system without resorting to major construction projects such as adding travel lanes or building new roads, bridges or overpasses.
