Cities on that county’s west coast have started working together to expand public transportation options.

Bike paths and walking trails would accompany it along the entire length.
The Lee County Metropolitan Planning Organization says cities with tracks along the route have jumped on board.
WZVN-TV reports FDOT must first purchase the privately owned railway.
