Top issues during term (20)(Roads)
Manasota Key bike lanes and parking safety
Building bike lanes on all four roads could run roughly $1.08 million total, with no costs yet in the work program.
Palm Island Transit staging on Placida Road
$147,862 study, 100% federally reimbursed with a soft match — no direct county cost now, but future routes would cost real money.
Boca Grande Parking
County funds can't be used for litigation not related to the county, and an amicus brief would cost some taxpayer money.
Truck Parking in Rights-of-Way
County will spend on signage; enforcement falls to the Sheriff's Office.
Boca Grande Parking Dispute with Lee County
Litigation costs discussed; reduced tourism and TDT revenue from lost beach access.
Harborview Road and major road project progress
Harborview Phase 1 construction is federally and locally funded pending the state's 2027 budget; Phase 2 and other projects depend partly on the pending sales tax.
Rotonda Bridge #014113 Replacement Engineering Inspection
The Tom Adams Drawbridge repair alone is about $2.5 million, with bridge rehab costs spread across MSBUs and gas tax funds.
Transportation Improvement Program (TIP) Amendment
Impact fees tied to development fund road improvements; a four-year CNA funding plan is coming to the board.
US 41 Sidewalk Construction Agreements
Costs were not stated in the materials provided.
Cross-jurisdictional traffic impacts

Signage and enforcement costs are modest; no major dollar figure was cited.

$3,375,027.61 from road impact fees.

$5 million funded by $2.5 million in system-wide benefits and a short-term note, with no impact to customer rates.
Seminole Gulf Railway Grant and County Cost Exposure
County could face a couple million dollars in unplanned drainage and road work as rail upgrades proceed.
Don Pedro/Knight Island right-of-way encroachments
Enforcement could require temporary staff hires, and losing beach parking could jeopardize beach renourishment funding and tourism dollars.
Rotonda West MSBU Paving Program Change Order Denial
$555,932 that Rotonda West property owners would have paid through MSBU assessments will not be spent.
