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.
