Reducing US 41 from six lanes to 4 will have a devastating affect on traffic in adjacent neighborhoods. This includes people living in Coquina Sands, Moorings Lake Park and Park Shore who would, to varying degrees, be directly affected by this action.
Reducing U.S. 41 from six to four lanes in the section encompassing roughly Seventh Avenue North to Fifth Avenue South is being considered by the city council, and residents need to become aware and make their views known before it is too late.
Residents of the aforementioned communities as well as those in sections of Old Naples will be subjected to heavy traffic on their streets, and anyone who travels U.S. 41 (which pretty much covers us all) will experience significantly more congestion than we have at present.
We all saw what happened when one lane was closed a few weeks ago.
Please sign the petition to oppose narrowing US 41.

The scale of this response confirms how many residents share our concern regarding the proposed changes to the traffic flow on US 41. This momentum ensures that our position will be difficult for the city council to ignore when they review the matter.

As a cyclist I can tell you this is a disaster waiting to happen. I would never ride on 41 even with a bike path due to heavy traffic. Bikes can bypass this on parallel streets. As a 31 year resident I can also attest that though there isn’t room, more lanes are needed not less. VERY BAD IDEA!!!
Remember when traffic backed up from Davis Blvd to Goodlette because there weren’t enough lanes to get the traffic to flow smoothly? And now, it’s suggested we go back to those days. It will not only choke traffic, once again, but businesses will suffer also! Ludicrous idea.....
please do not make 41 any smaller. During the season you're going to punish folks that live here all year long. I saw what happened when you cut one lane near this area for over a week to fix pipes/road. it was crazy!!!!!
NO TO NARROWING 41 IN NAPLES! Some of us who are full time residents are tired of the pandering to part timers & tourists who want the town to be altered to so they can have an easier walk/bike home from happy hour! Leave it alone! It’s fine the way it is. You’re going to make it tougher on police, fire, and other 1st responders.
I remember when US 41 had parking and it was determined years ago that the traffic needed to use the parking lane for driving. this is stupid to now try to narrow US 41 with even more traffic.
For safety sake alone it is not a good idea.
I have a similar situation with a property I own in Hollywood, Fl. Reducing lanes in growing areas is stupid on its face. Why were the roads widened when they were? Because of traffic, duh. Why would you reduce them?

I live 1 block off 41, when traffic gets bottle necked all the traffic will use side streets through my neighborhood to get around it. There is already too much cut through traffic in Lake Park neighborhood as it is. It is unsafe for the numerous children that play in the neighborhood.
