Traffic headaches, crash statistics, and possible solutions to it all were the focus of a transportation summit in Cape Coral, Fla., Sept. 30, sponsored by the Royal Palm Coast REALTOR® Association and the Streets Alive of SWFL. The event drew about 200 attendees, including county and municipal leaders, engineers, planners, REALTORS®, and members of the public, to hear experts on transportation talk about how planning can go a long way toward alleviating congestion and lowering the number of traffic accidents. Other topics included designing streets for ­pedestrian and cyclists, narrowing street lanes to discourage speeding and make more room for walkers, and building traffic circles.
