📰 News we're reading

• Parents push to protect Four Freedoms Park ahead of Bimini East redevelopment (winknews.com) — Cape Coral parents are urging City Council today to designate Four Freedoms Park as a historic landmark, hoping to shield it from major changes tied to the approved Bimini East redevelopment downtown. The council will instead consider a resolution favoring a historical monument while developers plan apartments, a marina, and a new one‑acre park, raising questions about the future of the preschool, trees, and family‑friendly feel.
