Connect Bonita Springs Mobility Plan Heads to a Second Community Open House on Oct. 22

Bonita Springs is entering the final stretch of its citywide transportation blueprint, and residents get another chance to weigh in this week. The City will host its second Connect Bonita Springs Community Open House on Thursday, Oct. 22, 2026, from 5 to 7 p.m. at Bonita Springs City Hall, 9101 Bonita Beach Road SE.

What is the Connect Bonita Springs plan?

Connect Bonita Springs is the city's citywide mobility plan, which will guide where Bonita Springs invests in transportation going forward. It is organized around four principles: safety, community connection, business growth, and planning for the future. Work began in fall 2025, and input from the first open house and community surveys helped shape the projects now under review.

What to expect at the open house

The event is open to the public and uses interactive stations where residents can learn about potential projects and give feedback. The plan is expected to be finalized through winter 2026, after which the city will begin carrying out its projects and policies. Specific projects and cost figures have not yet been published.

Why growth is driving the plan

City officials point to rapid growth as a main reason for the plan, noting that the population rose roughly 22% between 2010 and 2020, from about 43,900 to 53,600 residents.

What this means for buyers and sellers

Road, sidewalk, and crossing improvements can shape commute times, walkability, and neighborhood appeal, so it is worth watching which corridors the final plan prioritizes.
