Fort Myers business owners step up to fix Summerlin Square pothole problem
Edward Alvey, a Fort Myers resident, walks this route every day as part of his work commute. “You feel like you’re on a carnival ride because cars have to zigzag to avoid the potholes. It’s dangerous you see cars nearly colliding every day,” said Alvey. His observations were proven true during our interview when a car nearly rear-ended another vehicle right in front of him.
“Look at this right here. Total dead stop. That’s almost a rear-end job right there, right in front of you. Almost rear-ended. No one knows where to go,” Alvey pointed out as another close call occurred nearby due to the potholes.
