The City of Naples Miracle Mile Master Plan’s mission is to improve communities from Gulf Shore Boulevard North from the Naples Beach Club to Doctor’s Pass.

The Naples Miracle Mile Committee was formed in early 2023 in response to the severe damage Hurricane Ian brought to Gulf Shore Boulevard North. Virtually every building was damaged in addition to landscape, hardscape, and personal property. Of the (38) buildings along the 1.3 mile stretch from Doctors Pass to the Naples Beach Club, it is estimated that one third of the buildings may be redeveloped over the next three years. A conceptual streetscape master plan will be needed to extend streetscape improvements from of the Naples Beach Resort to the Mooring Line Bridge within this Northern corridor.

Miracle Mile corridor improvements vision statement:  Gulf Shore Boulevard North from the Naples Beach Club to Doctor’s Pass will be the premier community of multi-family residences in Southwest Florida. The neighborhood will retain Naples’ charm with beautifully coordinated streetscapes, views of the gulf and bay, and provide safe pathways for residents, pedestrians, cyclists, and beach goers.

Items of concern or challenge along the Miracle Mile corridor to be considered include:

• Pedestrian safety and connectivity
• Bicycle safety and connectivity
• Parking
• Landscaping and opportunities to increase the availability of shade when appropriate.
• Streetscape, including street lighting, bicycle racks, trash receptacles, benches, etc., as well as the potential for location of Public Art.
• Drainage/Stormwater
• Water/Sewer/Reclaimed water infrastructure.
