The bond amount is a preliminary direction, not a final authorization; staff will return in March with specific transportation projects that could be funded. The $2 million parks allocation will move toward public bidding, with a recommended vendor and implementation plan to come back to the Council for approval. Staff will also study noise barriers, after-hours fencing, and possible demolition of the existing racquetball building at the Marco Island Racquet Center.
