GENERAL SUBJECT MATTER TO BE CONSIDERED: This workshop is being hosted for the Project Development and Environment (PD&E) Study being conducted for US 41 from 10th Street to 14th Street. The purpose of this workshop is to inform the community about the PD&E process and obtain input for the development of alternatives for the project. The study is part of an overall plan to enhance mobility within downtown Sarasota, Florida. It is anticipated that the existing four-lane divided US 41 roadway will include roundabouts with splitter islands for pedestrian refuge at the intersections of US 41 at 10th Street and 14th Street. The project would also include enhanced pedestrian walkways, enhanced bicycle and transit facilities, speed reduction to 30 mph, improved landscaping, and other associated improvements along US 41.
