Naples, Fla.— The Healthy Communities Coalition and the Department of Health in Collier County are inviting the community to attend a public workshop to discuss the community’s vision for the US41 corridor from Airport-Pulling Road to Davis Boulevard. This corridor, which is highly utilized by pedestrians and cyclists, ranks #5 on the FDOT District One’s high crash corridor list. Input from this workshop will be included in a Health Impact Assessment (HIA). The HIA will provide recommendations to help decision-makers make choices about alternatives and improvements in policies, programs, and projects to prevent injury and promote health in our communities. It is your neighborhood – come join us and give us your input!

When: Tuesday, April 12, 2016 at 5:30 p.m.
