City of Sarasota, FL: Construction to replace the signalized intersection of Ringling Boulevard and Pine Place with a modern roundabout is anticipated to begin on Monday, April 29.
Westbound lanes between Osprey Avenue and Rawls Avenue will be closed beginning April 29. The full intersection will close to traffic beginning Saturday, May 4.
While the intersection will be closed, access will remain open to the U.S. Post Office, Sarasota County Administration Building, and adjacent properties and businesses. The City’s project team is coordinating with the contractor, Ajax Paving Company, to minimize impacts to motor, bicycle, and pedestrian traffic.
Replacing the signalized intersection with a modern roundabout will increase the continuous flow of traffic and contribute to safer roadways. Studies have shown that roundabouts result in 80% fewer serious crashes on average.
The project will include warning lights for marking pedestrian crossings, paver brick crosswalks, a landscaped center island, and improvements to surrounding green spaces.
This project will complete a string of roundabouts along Ringling Boulevard: Palm Avenue, Pineapple Avenue, Orange Avenue, and now Pine Place.
Construction is expected to conclude by January 2025.
