Lantern Lane is a two-lane residential street that is approximately 3,000 linear feet in length. Approximately 1,700 feet of Lantern Lane meets the minimum roadway width of 18-feet (two 9-foot travel lanes) and has concrete valley gutters to collect stormwater and direct it to storm inlets. Approximately 1,300 feet of roadway does not meet these standards yet was accepted by the City from the area's original developer. The inadequate roadway width, along with the incomplete drainage system causes several problems for general motorists and abutting property owners. For example, the inadequate roadway width causes vehicles to travel outside the pavement and upon the green portion of the right-of-way causing damage to greenspace. Additionally, the incomplete gutter system requires stormwater to drain through the greenspace, making it soft and susceptible to rutting. Over two fiscal years, this project would bring this 1,300-foot section of Lantern Lane up to City standard for minimum road width and will complete a section of concrete gutter drainage. Funds are budgeted within this fund and the Stormwater Enterprise Fund. In FY21-22, funds are budgeted to survey, design and permit the project. In FY22-23, funds are budgeted to construct the project. As of October 3, 2022, this project is included in the City of City of Naples FY 2023-2027. Information regarding design firm and general contractor selection timeline has not been released. The design and firm construction timeline have not been disclosed. *Project information has been obtained through a public capital improvement plan (CIP).
