The purpose of this study is to help the City of Cape Coral and Lee County community develop a vision plan for the SR 78 / Pine Island Road corridor to guide transportation and land use decisions over the next 50 years.  The study corridor begins at Burnt Store Road and extends to US 41 and includes portions of the City of Cape Coral and unincorporated Lee County. The roadway is maintained by the Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT).
