Cape Coral seeks resident input on future traffic planning to curb speeding

Residents in Cape Coral are voicing concerns about speeding on city roads, with reports of vehicles traveling far above posted limits. “The speeding that’s going on in Cape Coral is atrocious. It’s, ugh, it’s, I’m ashamed to think about how, just how the roads are being used by just crazies,” said Greg Crosbie, a Cape Coral resident. Crosbie said the issue is worsening and is not limited to one road. “To go 10 or 15 or 20 miles over the speed limit when people are just trying to get to either work or shopping,” Crosbie said. He added that speeding is most common on main streets, including Veterans Parkway, Cape Coral Parkway and Santa Barbara Boulevard. Another resident, Robert Shaffee, said he often sees vehicles traveling at dangerous speeds. “I see all kinds of speeders, cars, trucks, big trucks, you know, big four-wheel drive pickup trucks with loud engines, and I estimate that they’re probably traveling sometimes 60, 70 miles an hour down, which is only like a 35-mile-an-hour zone,” Shaffee said. In response, the city of Cape Coral has launched an online survey to gather input from residents for future traffic planning. The survey allows residents to pinpoint specific intersections and streets where they have concerns. Crosbie said he is considering submitting a comment. “People have been talking about this speeding issue for a while now, and we’re still talking about it,” Crosbie said. You can access the speed study, and the survey will remain open for comments until the end of April.DOWNLOAD the free Gulf Coast News app for your latest news and alerts on breaking news, weather, sports, entertainment, and more on your phone or tablet.
