Good morning, Naples. Here's your local news at a glance for Friday, the 14th of March.

COMMUNITY NEWS

  • Some gated community residents near I-75 worry that the highway widening starting in 2026 will bring more noise and safety risks if a noise reduction wall is not built—adding one lane in each direction will turn the road from 6 to 8 lanes. They note that the last expansion did not include a noise wall and left nearby neighborhoods exposed to harmful traffic noise.  News-Press
