The Sarasota Planning Board has approved the plan for twin apartment developments that will bring 120 units to the northern end of North Trail Overlay District.

Sarasota City Commission supports plan to narrow Ringling Boulevard by two lanes for bikes
SARASOTA – Sarasota’s vision for safer streets that accommodate cars, bikes, buses and pedestrians received a formal stamp of approval on Monday when the City Commission passed a resolution several years in the making.
The plan – which outlines a ‘complete streets’ program to add seven-foot-wide protected bike lanes between Lime and Pineapple avenues and other safety elements on Ringling Boulevard – passed unanimously.
A handful of people spoke to the issue, with half supporting the city’s desire to eliminate two of the four lanes on Ringling Boulevard to accommodate bicyclists.
