MYERS, FLORIDAANALYSISEDWARDS DRIVEFOWLER STREETURBAN FABRIC: Shown in greater detail on the next page.The Existing Urban Fabric and Frontage QualityBAY STREETFIRST STREETLEE STREETMONROE STREETDowntown Fort Myers and the more detailed drawings thatfollow also illustrate the quality of the downtown’s urbanfabric, largely inherited from its historic past, that generallyprovides the network of narrow streets, alleyways and shortblocks necessary for creating a walkable downtown.As noted earlier, the Urban Fabric drawing provides the Citywith an up-to-date drawing of the downtown that revealsthe extent to which the construction and demolition ofdowntown buildings and aggregation of lots have altered thebuilt environment of the city in recent decades. The UrbanFabric drawing reveals strengths, such as the considerablebuilding coverage that remains in the historic core, andforms consistent streetwalls necessary for a high-qualitypedestrian experience. It also shows weaknesses, such asthe disintegration of these desirable conditions outside thecore, including the blocks along the basin and waterfront.The relative continuity of the in-town neighborhoods locatedinland and to the west and east of the heart of downtownalso becomes apparent, providing ample opportunities forinfi ll housing to solidify and strengthen these neighborhoods.Finally, and perhaps most signifi cantly, the drawing showsthe coarse grain of the large governmental and civic uses andtheir associated parking lots that have created an automobileorientedinstitutional district to the east and west of the HendryStreet corridor, particularly south of MLK Boulevard and northof the Boulevard bordering Cleveland Avenue.The Existing Frontage Quality map indicates sections ofblocks where there is currently Good, Fair, or Poor qualityfrontages in terms of the pedestrian experience. The analysisfound that approximately 25% of the pedestrian experiencedowntown is fi rst rate (“Good”), which is fairly typical of cities inthe United States. The advantage present in Fort Myers is thatso much good frontage is already contiguous, concentratedalong First Street and some adjacent side streets and alleys.These existing conditions all infl uence the Transect-basedRegulating Plan and A/B street assignment presented later.MAIN STREETHENDRY STREETSECOND STREETThe Existing Frontage Quality drawing identifi es areas where the quality of the frontage is Good, Fair, or Poor. Good quality frontages typically havebuildings pulled up to the sidewalk, doors and windows facing the street, awnings and other features to create a positive pedestrian experience.Poor quality frontages typically involve buildings with deep setbacks, blank walls, garage openings, or surface parking lots facing the street.SR 820 250 500 1000 ftII.2
DOWNTOWN FT. MYERS, FLORIDAANALYSISURBAN FABRIC: The existing urban fabric in the downtown presents favorable conditions for creating walkable downtown neighborhoods. While the past strategy of locating large institutional buildings and parking lots south of MLKBoulevard has made that area unattractive to pedestrians, it helped preserve key areas of the downtown. The historic core along First Street enjoys continuous streetwalls that make this an extremely comfortable “main street” forthe City. To the east and west of the core, houses line the sidewalks with detached garages to the rear, providing a good basis for reconstructing in-town neighborhoods.II.3
