Have you noticed all the blight creeping through out the Park? Illegal signs not only at intersections and along the side of the road but now even in front lawns. Some yards look like the house was abandoned. How about the drag racing, speeding and running stop signs? Are you getting tired of hearing screeching brakes or vehicles winding out at full throttle down the road? Cars often blow through stop signs and it's getting worse.

Blight is limiting some housing values and lowering them in other cases. Let's not let our community sink to a ghetto because of the indifference of Lee County Government. At last check, there isn't a way to contact Code Enforcement from the Lee County Government web site. From the violations we all see just driving in and out of the park each day, the fines alone could balance any budget issues. They took away our Sheriff's substation and now the park is turning into a race track. Perhaps we need a change in Lee County downtown. Take a stand and let our local Commissioner know how you feel. Nice try but they went to Hawaii for a budget meeting that could have been done right here in Lee County.

The way to get the Lee County Zoning department on the case is to report violations to them. If you get through their staff is very helpful.
