I am sure the walkers and bikers will be thrilled when this is completed and its great that taxpayers don't have to pay the whole thing! The bridges might even be redone.

Work will start this summer to bring a new walking and biking path to a stretch of Vanderbilt Drive in North Naples. Collier County crews will build a 10-foot-wide path along a 4-mile span of the road between 111th Avenue and Bonita Beach Road. 

 
Taxpayers will pick up about half of the $2.3 million cost of the new path. Developers of five high-rises at the nearby Cocohatchee Bay PUD will cover $1.6 million of the tab as part of a 2008 deal with the county to settle a lawsuit over the size of the high-rises.
