Project History
The planning phase to redesign Main Street started when the project was identified as the eighth priority in Sarasota’s Transportation Master Plan , Sarasota in Motion , adopted by the City Commission in 2019 . Several opportunities for citizen engagement and involvement will be incorporated into the visioning process , including surveys , public events and more .
A complete street is an age - friendly design that promotes safe travel to and from your destination , whether you are walking , biking , riding transit , or driving your vehicle . A complete street is also accessible to every person who utilizes it and provides a sense of place for the community . Each complete street is unique to the community and can include different features like enhanced sidewalks , street lighting , benches , street trees and landscaping , public art , and more .
