PROJECT UPDATE
IMOKALEE COMPLETE STREETS – TIGER GRANT
DESIGN-BUILD PROJECT
JUNE 2025
PROJECT UPDATE
The Immokalee Complete Streets Project is finished and includes new sidewalks and drainage along miles of local streets. In addition to the sidewalks, the project included reconstruction of many existing residential driveways and improvements to the drainage swale along your property line within the Collier County Right-of-Way (ROW).
We need to work together to keep these new sidewalks and drainage improvements in good condition. Please do your part to help maintain the improvements by complying with the existing codes which require property owners to assume all maintenance and repair responsibilities within the Collier County ROW. These responsibilities include mowing the grass and protecting the sidewalk and driveway from damage.
We are requesting your help to maintain these improvements including:
-
Drainage – cutting the grass within the swale is very important because it will allow the drainage system to function. Picking up the litter before you mow will also keep the community clean.
-
Pedestrian Safety – do not park on the sidewalks, it is against the law and blocks the safe passage of children and adults. Heavy trucks and equipment can damage the sidewalk.
The construction of sidewalks is expensive, and your help is needed to maintain them. Please remember it is illegal to park on a sidewalk. Both the Collier County Sheriff’s Office and the Collier County Code Enforcement Division are monitoring to encourage voluntary compliance. Citations will be issued if the law is broken. It is the property owner’s responsibility to assure that all your visitors, tenants, and family members obey the law. You, as the property owner, are responsible for maintaining the driveway and ROW.
If you rent your property, please inform your tenants of this information. As a landlord, you are responsible for providing your tenants with this information.
We hope you enjoy the improvements along the county roadways and please continue to assist your neighbors as we work to improve the health and safety of our community.
