Free seasonal LeeTran Downtown Trolley to resume and other seasonal changes announced
LeeTran’s seasonal downtown trolleys will resume free service on Sunday, Nov. 27. The Blue and Gold Line trolleys provide free access to and from the historic Fort Myers River District.
LeeTran trolleys allow for a fun and convenient way to enjoy shopping, dining and entertainment, without having to drive and park downtown. The trolley routes are:
• The Blue Line runs through downtown Fort Myers. The route loops from the Oasis Condominiums to West First Street and McGregor Boulevard along First Street, then to Rosa Parks Transportation Center, Fowler Street and Second Street. The Route 500 also has a modified path this year, due to the new bi-directional traffic on Palm Beach Blvd and Second Street. This change created two new eastbound stops on Palm Beach Boulevard.
• The Gold Line connects North Fort Myers to downtown Fort Myers. The route leaves from the Rosa Parks Transportation Center traveling over the Caloosahatchee Bridge, makes a left on Hancock Bridge Parkway, left on Moody Road, right on Skyline Drive, and right on Hancock Bridge Parkway. The route continues to Beau Drive, makes a left on North Key Drive, right on North Cleveland Avenue, then back across the bridge to First Street and returns to Rosa Parks Transportation Center.
The seasonal downtown Fort Myers trolley service will run through April 2023.
LeeTran also announced that some routes have been adjusted to improve timing and frequency. Routes affected include the 40, 50, 120, and 130. These changes will also go into effect on Sunday, Nov. 27. LeeTran’s Fort Myers Beach route will continue to run its modified schedule and route until further notice.
