Road flyovers topic of Cape Coral Council for Progress meeting

08. October 2010 · Comments Off · Categories: Cars, Money, News · Tags: , , , , , , , , , , , ,

8:48 A.M. UPDATE — Loveland said they also were looking at other ways to improve traffic flow at the Santa Barbara intersection beyond the overpass, which could cost $20 to $30 million to build.

In response to a question, Grubbs said a key to developing any of these projects will be a plan that also includes communities’ density, destination and dedicated funding sources to make sure roads and growth are compatible to support a transit system.

“it is removing barriers and taking the steps necessary” to land development codes to help move road projects like this forward, he said.

Among those in attendance this morning were Lee County Commissioners Tammy Hall and John Manning, commission candidate Carla Johnston and Cape Coral City Councilman Marty McClain.

Johnston asked how the flyovers would help improve Cape’s small commercial tax base. The city is approximately 91 percent residential and 9 percent commercial.

He stressed the overpasses, specifically the one at Santa Barbara, will not hinder traffic flow to businesses because “the turning movements” will still be there, Loveand said.

Grubbs said they looked at various communities, including New Orleans, on how elevated roads impacted cities. Some cities, he said, have started to tear down overpasses because of the adverse impact on businesses.

8:20 A.M. UPDATE ? Major road flyovers and their impact on traffic and economic development of businesses was the topic of Friday’s Cape Coral Council for Progress meeting.

Presentations by Dr. Joe Grubbs of Architecture, Inc., and Dave Loveland from the Lee County Department of Transportation focused on the development of Colonial Boulevard, a major traffic corridor that connects the Cape with the rest of the county.

“It is a vital, economic development engine,” Grubbs said.

Constructing flyovers at major intersections along the road to improve traffic flow was the key component of an intensive study recently. Funding problems will delay the project. But a flyover at Santa Barbara Boulevard and Veteran’s Memorial Parkway in Cape Coral remains a possibility.

Grubbs talked about how the Lee County Commissioners want officials to look at a way at connecting the communities in an effort to achieve “complete streets.”

“The choice boils down to do we want a 50s and 60s solution” to a 21st century issue,” Grubbs said.

Loveland, manager of transportation planning for the county, targeted the Santa Barbara, Veteran’s overpass.

Loveland talked history of a planned east-west corridor that connected Cape Coral with Charlotte County and across the river into Fort Myers that started in the 1970s.

The first piece was the Midpoint Bridge project and the overpass at Del Prado Boulevard and Veteran’s, which occurred in 1997.

Toll money paid for the the remainder of the road development along Veteran’s. An overpass was always planned at Santa Barbara, Loveland said.

Loveland said the long range plan now not only includes an overpass at Santa Barbara, but also at Country Club Boulevard, Skyline Boulevard, Chiquita Boulevard and at Pine Island Road.

“An overpass at Santa Barbara is not going to change access points” to businesses there, Loveland said.

The design for the overpass fits because of the wide median there and the roads to and from businesses, Loveland said.

“In the model for 2030 we are showing 67,000 cars a day at the intersection,” Loveland said. He stressed other models show up to 112,000 vehicles a day at the intersection depending on business development.

County budgeted $2.2 million for the design phase and that is moving forward, Loveland said.

Paying for the project could come from tolls, federal stimulus money or other funding sources.

The county is scheduled to go before the Cape’s transportation committee next month to discuss the plan.

But Loveland stressed because of financial problems the project may not happen before 2015.

His and hers lists help market couple’s home

18. September 2010 · Comments Off · Categories: Cars, Economy, Family, Home, News, Real Estate, Tech, Video · Tags: , , , , , , , , , , ,

Tina Haisman needed to stand out.

Her family’s home at 11471 Persimmon Court had been on the market for three months and had been shown to about 10 prospective buyers with little fanfare.

“We’ve had people come to look at our house two and three and four times and tell us they loved it but they would go back to Canada or something and say ‘Oh, we’ll be back in a month,’ ” Haisman said.

Haisman, 37, her husband Paul and their two young children moved to the Chicago area for Paul’s information technology job. The family became frustrated with the failed attempts to sell their 2,280-square foot, four-bedroom home, which is located in Gateway and listed for sale at $269,900.

“The problem is there are so many homes,” Haisman said. “People have plenty of time to search and that sense of urgency that used to be there when you were shopping for a home – that you better make a bid on it if you want it or you’ll lose it – that sense of urgency is not there.”

So Haisman, owner of Tina Haisman Public Relations, did what any PR pro would do. She began strategizing ways to draw attention to the 19-year-old dwelling.

To help them come up with a marketing idea, Haisman and her husband decided to first create a list of what they liked about their home – a brainstorming technique some real estate agents suggest to sellers prior to showing a property.

Paul typed up his ideas and e-mailed his version of the list to his wife. When she read his top 10 selling points, Haisman completely disagreed with her husband on the home’s best features.

“As I was reading it I thought, ‘Oh my gosh. I would change half the things on here.’ It was not what I thought at all,” she said.

The couple realized how differently men and women sometimes view a home’s attributes and decided to each create their own top 10 list. Whereas stellar landscaping, a split floor plan and vaulted ceilings made the cut for Haisman, her husband focused on technical aspects such as the new roof, cable wiring and hurricane panels.

“My top 10 list is more about the beauty of the home,” Haisman said. “My husband’s list is more of the functional, practical, manly man’s list. I don’t think a woman would care as much that you get free hot water from the air conditioning as a guy would.”

(2 of 2)

The real estate agent the Haismans were working with at the time posted their dueling top 10 lists to their home listing on Realtor.com. The agent created a flier about the husband and wife’s selling points for the home and e-mailed it to agents on the Lee County Multiple Listing Service. Several local agents applauded the creativity and asked if they could use the husband-wife list idea with their clients.

Haisman then sent press releases to news outlets near Boston, Minneapolis, Detroit, Chicago and Columbus, Ohio – areas traditionally home to Southwest Florida snowbirds.

The day she sent the release, 30 people viewed Haisman’s home listing on Realtor.com. More than 70 people interacted with the media release – meaning they saved it to their computers, printed it or clicked on links within it. It received approximately 40,000 headline impressions, or the number of times people viewed pages that included the headline for the release.

In addition, Haisman – who was reading Daniel Pink’s “A Whole New Mind” at the time, which discusses, among other things, the importance of storytelling in business and marketing – created a blog in an attempt to create a personality for the home she and her family lived in for nine years. On her blog, Haisman posted home photos and has written about everything from winds the home withstood during hurricanes Charley and Wilma to the fun of neighborhood block parties on Persimmon Court.

“I wanted to tell the stories so maybe people can envision their family living there and creating their own memories,” she said.

The mother and public relations professional tweets about her home and blog, posts information about it on Facebook and has asked some friends to post the information on their Facebook pages as well.

Marla Martin, spokeswoman for the Florida Association of Realtors, called the Haisman top 10 lists “very creative” and she said she hadn’t heard of that tactic before. Still, Martin said she is not surprised by the family’s marketing efforts.

“During the boom years, you almost didn’t have to do anything because the homes were moving so fast,” she said. “Now, our members report lots of creative things for sellers.”

Those efforts include holding signs along roadways to promote open houses and an increased use of social media sites and YouTube videos to advertise homes on the market. Sunni Hammermeister of Sellstate Realty Systems Network, who signed on as agent for the Haismans last week, has even seen people offer cars and boats with the sale of their home.

As they continue to aggressively market the home on Persimmon Court, Hammermeister said it has a good chance of finding the right buyer. Haisman, who plans to create a second media release soon, also remains optimistic.

“Hopefully, these things will help us stand out,” she said of her PR efforts. “We’re trying to be positive in this economy and proactive and take action instead of just complaining about how horrible things are.”

Cypress nips Island Coast

11. September 2010 · Comments Off · Categories: Cars, News, Tech · Tags: , , , , , , , , , ,

While a torrential downpour might have made most of Cypress Lake’s offensive performance an ugly one, it was the few minutes before the rains that showed the Panthers’ true offensive quality.

Taking the initiative early and scoring first, the Panthers upset Island Coast 13-6 at Thomas Broomhead Memorial Stadium on Friday night. To Cypress coach Mike Thornton, that first scoring drive against a Division I-caliber defensive line made the night.

“The momentum for us was the first quarter,” Thornton said. “That was the best option drive that I’ve seen since I came here.”

In that drive, the Panthers (1-1) pushed the vaunted Gators defense almost the length of the field. Quarterback Jayron Kearse led the way with several short gains, ultimately scoring on a 4-yard run. Logan Franklin’s kick made it 7-0.

Cypress did not appear intimidated by the defensive line of Island Coast (1-1). Knowing that they couldn’t block it, they attacked and read it.

“I told them that this is the most physical offensive and defensive line that I’ve seen since I’ve been in Lee County,” Thornton said.

Those in attendance nervously watched as a severe thunderstorm approached from the east. As the wall of water finally hit the field, the game continued until the lightning drew too close to safely play in the second quarter. That led to a 65-minute lightning delay.

Players sat in the locker rooms, assistant coaches sat in the press box and spectators sat in their cars as the torrential downpour blasted through the area. But with the officials unavailable today, school authorities elected to wait it out.

When the skies finally cleared, the game turned ugly. Between both teams, there were five fumbles – four lost – before halftime alone. All told, there were 15 fumbles in the game.

One of those fumbles added to the Panthers’ lead.

Philipp Casimir picked up a loose ball on the 2-yard line and ran it in, making it 13-0.

The Gators did not get on the scoreboard until the fourth quarter. Technically, nobody got on the scoreboard since an afternoon storm had shorted it out.

After both sides traded some more fumbles, Island Coast started a drive in Cypress Lake territory. Delmarick Pender took a handoff around the right end and outran the defender to the pylon. The kick was blocked, keeping the game at 13-6.

After that, it was more slogging through muck and fumbling the ball. The conditions kept the offensive gains low, with Kearse tallying a game-high 67 yards.

Caught on video: Lee deputies investigating road rage case

07. August 2010 · Comments Off · Categories: Cars, naples, News, Video · Tags: , , , , , , , , , ,

Warning to viewers:This video contains language that some may find offensive

The Lee County Sheriff’s Office is investigating a road rage incident that led to the damage of a vehicle at the intersection of U.S. 41 and Bonita Beach Road.

Video taken by a Naples Daily News reporter shows a driver of a van kicking and denting the door of a pickup truck.

The van’s driver, Ronald Boffil, 43, who works for a Cape Coral granite and marble company, said he was driving south in his work vehicle on U.S. 41 North to a job on Immokalee Road when he was passed by a Chevrolet pickup, registered to Curt E. Suskevich, 39.

“He tried passing me really fast, like 70 mph,” said Boffil, who added that his English is not good. “He put his finger outside the window. ‘Hey, why you driving so slow.’ I’m driving slow, I’ve got a lot of cars in front of me.”

When the truck stopped in the left turn lane at the intersection of Bonita Beach Road, Boffil stopped beside him and got out of his van.

“I’m going to try to talk to him. ‘Why did you put the finger out?’” Boffil said. He never opened the window and he put the truck to my truck, and I’m in between.”

Video from the scene shows Boffil kicked and dented the passenger door of the Chevy. He then got back in his van and drove off. When reached on the phone, Suskevich handed the phone to a Lee County deputy investigating the incident.
