The Village of Estero is beginning the design phase for improvements along Broadway Avenue West, aimed at making the roadway safer, more resilient to flooding, and more accessible for all users.

The Broadway Avenue West Safety and Drainage Project will focus on improving roadway safety and drainage conditions west of U.S. 41. The project will evaluate roadway conditions, pedestrian access, drainage systems, and overall safety to develop long-term improvements that better serve residents, businesses, and visitors.

The corridor currently includes features such as open roadside ditches and limited pedestrian accommodations. The project will look at ways to, improve roadway and pedestrian safety, improve drainage conveyance and resiliency, maintain access to homes and businesses, and enhance overall roadway operations.

The project team has officially kicked off the design phase, which will continue through October 2026. No construction is taking place at this time. During this time, the project team will review existing roadway and drainage conditions, collect traffic, pedestrian, and safety data, develop and evaluate improvement alternatives, and coordinate with utilities and regulatory agencies.

Residents may notice surveying crews, traffic counts, or soil testing along the roadway over the coming months. These activities are short-term and necessary to support the design. Every effort will be made to minimize inconvenience.
