A proposed trail in Collier County will help protect walkers and bikers – and make sure tragedy doesn’t strike again.
The Paradise Coast Trail is expected to be 70 miles long, and it will get people who walk, run or bike away from distracted drivers.
Avid cyclist Cristin Madden of Bonita Springs survived a devastating hit-and-run crash in Alva that claimed the life of her friend on March 14.
“I think about it every day,” she said.
The two were hit from behind, killing 64-year-old Debra Purcaro and gravely injuring Madden.
