Sarasota County is holding a virtual public meeting on making improvements to the Bicycle and Pedestrian Master Plan

 

Sarasota County
In order to maintain safe, social distance, the next public meeting will be held virtually. Help us decide where to make improvements to the county’s Bicycle and Pedestrian Master Plan during an hour-long virtual public meeting at 11 a.m. Tuesday, Aug. 4.
Sarasota County has made great strides in providing infrastructure for bicyclists and pedestrians since the first Bicycle and Pedestrian Master Plan was adopted in 2013. Nearly 2,000 miles of sidewalks and bike facilities currently connect the community. That includes hundreds of miles of bike lanes that help commuters get to work without adding vehicle traffic and draw tourists to area attractions. Sarasota County boasts more than a thousand miles of sidewalks that drive foot traffic into local businesses and give residents safe places to exercise, walk their pets and visit neighbors.
Now it’s time to take stock of how far we’ve come and where we want to go. Sarasota County invites its residents and friends to offer feedback as we all consider where to focus our resources. Let us know how you’re using the features in place and where we can make improvements.
Please take a few moments to provide some feedback and to complete our Bicycle and Pedestrian Master Plan Update survey. When you’re finished, we hope you’ll send this page link to your family, friends, running club or tandem bicycle partner.
