LETTERS TO THE EDITOR: Without parking regulation, we’re just another Coney Island

To the Editor: As a member of the Boca Grande Parking Committee, created by the GICIA in 2015, I am thrilled that a comprehensive parking plan is up for a vote by the Lee County commissioners on Tuesday, November 7th. Commissioner Kevin Ruane will present his structured parking proposal. It is very comprehensive, ensuring that, for example, a change in parking regulations that benefits one neighborhood doesn’t harm another. The commissioner’s plan is similar to the one he implemented very successfully in Sanibel. Commissioner Ruane presented this plan to the Parking Committee in April 2022. The committee voted unanimously to adapt it for Boca Grande.
