The Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) is conducting a study to examine the feasibility of improving the overall transportation infrastructure, including traffic operations and circulation, on the Sarasota/Manatee Barrier Islands as well as island-to-mainland connections. To ensure a comprehensive approach, this study must evaluate a variety of elements including: travel patterns of users on the islands, trips on and off the islands, destination points, existing transit service, existing parking facilities, bicycle/pedestrian facilities and needs, and land development codes as it relates to parking. FDOT will conduct a steering committee meeting to obtain input from stakeholders. Please note that two or more elected officials may be present at the meeting.
