City of Sarasota, FL; The public is invited to attend a town hall meeting to learn about and give input regarding the launch of the City’s Traffic Calming Plan on Wednesday, Feb. 19 from 5:30 to 7:30 p.m., City Hall – Commission Chambers, 1565 1st Street.

Following a short presentation outlining the goals and vision for the plan, an open forum will be held where attendees will have the opportunity to share feedback and their perspectives. Each participant will be given two minutes to speak.

“We understand how important traffic calming is to our community,” said Corinne Arriaga, Project Manager. “This town hall is an opportunity for residents to engage directly in shaping the future of traffic calming initiatives within the City of Sarasota.”

The first stage of the City’s Traffic Calming Plan is focused on information gathering, public engagement, and encouraging community members to provide feedback and work collaboratively with City staff.

Traffic calming is a set of roadway treatments that can be utilized to alter driver behavior to reduce negative impacts through physical design and other measures. Traffic calming techniques include roundabouts, speed tables, median adjustments and on-street parking in conjunction with education and enhanced speed enforcement.
