HE'S EVEN GUILTY HIMSELF.
53:31 i cross in the middle. because its easier not crossing at an intersection than at an intersection:39
IT'S BECAUSE OF THE DOZENS OF PEOPLE WHO WALK FROM ONE SIDE OF CAPE CORAL PARKWAY TO THE OTHER THAT THE COMMUNITY REDEVLOPMENT AGENCY WANTS TO PAVE A 5 FOOT PORTION ON SOME OF THE MEDIANS.
SOMETHING YOU MAY HAVE SEEN ALONG US- 41 IN BONITA SPRINGS.
17:52 we are seeing people jump in and climb through the bushes, not good for bushes and not good for the people 18:00
where I am standing on the median is one of the proposed nine decorative pavers would be placed -- making a visual reminder of where people can cross a little safer.
18:16 if we can make it a bit easier to shop without losing parking and make it better for not a lot of money looking at $10,000 to put in:24

GOVERNOR RICK SCOTT IS TALKING ABOUT THE LESSONS HE LEARNED FROM HIS TOUR OF SCHOOLS AROUND FLORIDA.
HE SPECIFICALLY SAYS IN THIS INTERVIEW THAT EDUCATION IS HIS BIGGEST PRIORITY.AND THAT PROMPTS A QUESTION OF WHETHER HE HAS SHIFTED HIS MAIN PRIORITY FROM JOBS TO EDUCATION.
if you ask me what my biggest priority would be, it would be education. So as long as we can control the growth rate of medicaid, and our economy gets better, and you see the numbers right now we are, our economy has gotten better. If you look at our statewide economy, the tourism is up, exports are up, home prices are up, home sales are up.
THE GOVERNOR GAVE KIND OF A MUDDLED ANSWER.
BUT IT IS OBVIOUS THAT THE GOVERNOR SEES EDUCATION AS A WEAKNESS FOR HIS RE-ELECTION PLATFORM.
LAST FRIDAY. SCOTT SAID HE WANTS TO *AVOID MAKING MORE CUTS TO EDUCATION.
AND SAID IF THERE'S ENOUGH MONEY. HE'LL PUSH FOR AN INCREASE.

BIGGER IS NOT NECESSARILY BETTER.
THAT'S THE THINKING BEHIND A SIGN ORDINANCE IN NAPLES.
IT'S A CLASSIC CASE OF GOVERNMENT REGULATING BUSINESS.
NBC 2'S JULIAN JOHNSON GOT THE PERSPECTIVE OF BOTH SIDES.
Return to index of stories...
HIS SIGN MAY JUST BE A BANNER FOR NOW.
BUT STORE OWNER TONY KAPNISIS IS THINKING BIG.
TONY KAPNISIS, STORE OWNER: if your going to have a sign I figure you might as well have the best sign you can I mean if I can have a bigger sign it'd be more noticeable
BUT NAPLES CITY COUNCIL MEMBERS HAVE ANOTHER OPINION.
SAM SAAD, CITY COUNCIL: no we're going to continue to keep our relatively small sign code in place
A SIGN CODE THAT LIMITS SIZE AT 80 SQUARE FEET.
ABOUT THE SIZE OF A SMALL ROOM.
HOWEVER CITY OFFICIALS GRANTED A NEWLY CONSTRUCTED PUBLIX PERMISSION TO PUT UP A STOREFRONT SIGN THAT'S NEARLY DOUBLE THAT.
THE PUBLIX IS IN THE SAME PLAZA WHERE TONY AND OTHER BUSINESS OWNERS HAVE TRIED AND FAILED IN THE PAST TO PUT UP LARGER SIGNS FOR THEIR OWN SHOPS.
SAM SAAD, CITY COUNCIL: the building would look silly to have such a large facade with such a small sign
now some business owners are asking why was Publix given the okay to have a bigger sign while others were denied.city council says it comes down to what makes the city beautiful and what doesn't
SAM SAAD, CITY COUNCIL: we have a high standard of living a very high quality of life a place that really cares about it's appearance so you wouldn't want signs all over your roadways
DESPITE BEING LOCATED ON THE CORNER OF US-41 AND GG PKWY.
KEEPING THE CITY BEAUTIFUL COULD MEAN SOME BUSINESSES WON'T BE SEEN.
CATHY --, SHOPS AT PLAZA: they should have a bigger sign it's a big store that's basically what people are going to be looking for
CITY OFFICIALS SAY SIGN VARIANCES ARE ISSUED ON A CASE BY CASE BASIS.
BUT REGARDLESS TONY SAYS HE'S STILL GOING TO THINK BIG.
