Naples Manor Stormwater Improvements

The Naples Manor Stormwater Improvements project involves the preparation of a preliminary evaluation study (PES) to outline options and cost estimates for the stormwater improvements that will be needed based on planned sidewalk projects within the Naples Manor community in Collier County.

KCA reviewed the Naples Manor Walkable Community Study prepared for the Collier County Metropolitan Planning Organization (MPO). This study was prepared by David Buchheit of Collier County Transportation Planning and dated February 2010. KCA also reviewed numerous South Florida Water Management District (SFWMD) permits located within and adjacent to the project area. Two of these permits were for sidewalks within the community in which survey services were performed by AIM. KCA understands a walkable neighborhood is defined as a neighborhood that has compact residential development, a mix of land uses, and a well connected street network: a place where one can travel to school, a store, or park without using a car. This was observed during our site visit since there are commercial areas along US 41, two nearby schools and a park within the Naples Manor neighborhood. KCA also understands the goal of providing a safe, connected, and convenient on-road network throughout Collier County for bicyclists and pedestrians. The KCA team is tasked with preliminary drainage design, condition assessments, flood protection, permitting, alternatives analysis, residential flooding investigations, and guiding Collier County staff through the Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) funding process.
