Inside the Edison Board Room on the fourth floor of the Luminary Hotel in downtown Fort Myers, architect Matthew Leger laid out his vision in front of about 30 business owners and stakeholders to make the city below them more walkable.  

The Hendry Street Pedestrian Mall would provide a walkable corridor from downtown Fort Myers to Midtown, the 240-acre area just south that currently includes the Fort Myers Police Department and City of Palms Park, former spring training home of the Boston Red Sox.
