The Lee Board of County Commissioners approved two contracts to move forward with the construction of a new LeeTran Park-and-Ride and transfer station at the existing parking lot at the Lee County Elections Office, 13180 S. Cleveland Ave., in south Fort Myers. With a budgeted project cost of about $7.9 million and construction expected to take about a year, the project will provide seven covered bus berths, ADA accessible restrooms, custodial and electrical facilities, a technology room, as well as loading and unloading ramps with ADA accessibility. The construction contract is with Owen-Ames-Kimball Florida and the engineering services contract is with Kisinger Campo & Associates. The new facility will replace two bus shelters located on Bell Tower Drive.
