Bayshore Drive 2022 Great Places in Florida People’s Choice Award Winner The Florida chapter of the American Planning Association has announced that the top vote-getter for the 9th Annual Great Places Award is Bayshore Drive. Great Places in Florida is a unique award program because communities submit nominations, and the public determines the winner. Each year the nominees focus on unique, memorable places in Florida. This annual award recognizes places with a sense of place, cultural and historical interest, community involvement, and a vision for tomorrow. The program is based on an annual theme to celebrate an element of community planning that contributes to the “greatness” of a place. This year’s theme is Great Healthy Places. “This recognition acknowledges the hard work and financial commitment over the past 20 years for the residents and business owners in the Bayshore Gateway Triangle Community Redevelopment Area and the Bayshore Beautification Municipal Service Taxing Unit,” said Commissioner Penny Taylor. “The residents and property owners have always believed in the area and knew it was a special place. Its proximity to downtown Naples, easy boat access to Naples Bay, and its small-town charm brought together an eclectic group of residents and entrepreneurs who are working to support a balanced need for diversity of housing, appreciation and a promotion of the arts, and the demand for residential housing throughout Collier County. This award brings the vision to reality and provides support and motivation as we continue to recover from the devasting impacts of Hurricane Ian.” “The improvements made to Bayshore Drive have paid off,” said Wiatt Bowers, AICP, President of APA Florida. “Updating and enhancing this popular corridor by implementing Complete Streets, installing green bike lanes and significant beautification amenities and advancing safety for pedestrians of all ages and abilities makes Bayshore Drive a strong example of healthy planning and sustainability that other communities should aim to replicate. Furthermore, the corridor is a model for implementing placemaking features in a suburban context.” Bayshore Drive is recognized for being one of the most distinct Healthy Places in Florida. Stretching nearly 2 miles in unincorporated Collier County, Bayshore Drive has evolved over the last several decades from a 2-lane corridor of underutilized businesses and residences to a complete street with a true sense of place. Bayshore Drive is anchored by the award-winning Naples Botanical Garden to the south and a vibrant waterfront and arts district to the north. Revitalization has been achieved through comprehensive community visioning and public investment in complete street improvements led by Collier County’s Bayshore Triangle Community Redevelopment Area and Bayshore Beautification Municipal Service Taxing Unit. As the street’s infrastructure transformed, it energized private investment. Now Bayshore Drive is a place for people of all abilities and backgrounds seeking to embrace healthy living, social engagement, and a sustainable environment.
