Lee County Government further expands closures, makes adjustments to help mitigate virus’ spread and reflect governor’s order
Lee County Government has updated its website to reflect the recent gubernatorial Executive Order. Lee County is expanding previously announced closings until further notice and is further adjusting operations.
Website: The county’s website – www.leegov.com/covid-19 – has been updated with information to reflect the governor’s order, including an at-a-glance list of essential businesses. This is designed to help citizens navigate the lengthy list that was included in the order. A link to that detailed list is also available.
Parks: All Lee County parks and Conservation 20/20 preserves will close until further notice beginning tonight, Thursday, April 2, with the exception of boat ramps. County-owned boat ramps will remain open for regular hours at this time.
LeeTran: Lee County Transit (LeeTran) will adjust fixed-route schedules beginning Friday, April 3, to operate a modified Sunday service schedule. LeeTran will operate the modified schedule seven days a week as the county responds to Gov. Ron DeSantis’ safer-at-home order for non-essential services. LeeTran’s Passport service is not impacted by this operational change.
Until further notice, all routes that run on a typical Sunday – except the previously suspended Gold Line and beach trams and trolleys – will remain in operation. In addition, LeeTran will add the following routes to the modified Sunday schedule: 5, 10, 30, 40, 60, 80, 160 and 515.
Riders can access schedules for each route at www.leegov.com/leetran/how-to-ride/maps-schedules

Riders are asked to observe recommendations from the Centers For Disease Control for social distancing.
