Public invited to Transportation Chapter Update Workshop 5-7 p.m. on Tuesday, Sept. 1 at the Bayfront Community Center
A community workshop on draft updates to the Sarasota City Plan Transportation Chapter is scheduled from 5-7 p.m. on Tuesday, Sept. 1 at the Bayfront Community Center, 803 N. Tamiami Trail. Attendees will have the opportunity to learn about proposed changes, ask questions and share feedback with City staff.
Shaped by public engagement, the Transportation Chapter update focuses on improving travel efficiency and expanding transportation options to support access to destinations including business districts, neighborhoods and schools. Florida law requires local comprehensive plans to be periodically evaluated and amendments to undergo State review.
At a public hearing on Monday, Aug. 3, the City Commission heard public comment and a staff presentation about the proposed updates before approving the transmittal of the draft Transportation Chapter for a 30-day expedited review by the Florida Department of Commerce.
The upcoming workshop will allow staff to gather community feedback before the draft Transportation Chapter returns to the Commission for adoption in late fall 2026.
