Scheduled for an upcoming Tuesday, this event invites residents to share their stories, concerns, and thoughts with the community engagement team. It\u2019s a dynamic opportunity to voice issues that matter, such as ongoing frustrations with road conditions, neighbor disputes, and the aftereffects of Hurricanes Ian, Helene, and Milton.<\/p>\n<p>Residents have shared their grievances at previous WINK Listens events, including Michael Contorno\u2019s plea over unfinished roof repairs amounting to a staggering $368,000 and the chaos caused by noisy pickleball games in Marco Island. It\u2019s clear there\u2019s no shortage of topics to chew on. The city is eager to hear from its citizens again, and First Cape Church will provide the backdrop for these important conversations.<\/p>\n<p>If you haven\u2019t spoken up yet, now\u2019s your chance to join the dialogue that can shape your community. And who knows, after all the pickleball chatter and street repair talks, there might just be a new community project or two in the pipeline. After all, it takes a village to straighten out the bumps in the road\u2014both literally and figuratively!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"WINK Listens is making a comeback in Cape Coral, the city where it all began.
