Charlotte County commissioners have formally initiated a conflict resolution process with Lee County, escalating a dispute over Boca Grande parking rules that Charlotte County says unfairly restricts access to island beaches.
Commissioners unanimously passed the resolution Wednesday, citing multiple concerns with Lee County’s August ordinance, which eliminated public parking from First Street through 19th Street and capped downtown parking at three hours without a permit (resident, employee or hotel guest permit).
