Open House for Sarasota Boating Community
/0 Comments/in Bayfront, Community /by Lauren NajarCalling All Boaters: The Bay Sarasota Wants to Hear from You
As the Sarasota Bayfront Planning Organization (SBPO) and Sasaki continue to Imagine the Possibilities of the future of The Bay, it is important that all voices in our community are heard.
The Sarasota boating community has voiced their concerns regarding the boat ramp, the future of the boat ramp, and how this will impact recreational and commercial boaters on The Bay.
We invite you to join The Bay and our partners, Moffatt and Nichol, to learn more about the recently conducted boating survey and we ask for your participation and input to make the current 10th Street boat launch an amazing destination for our boating community.
We want to hear your concerns, your desires for the future of the boat ramp, and how we can best work together to make this project a success.
Bayfront Late Morning/Afternoon- Public Open House 2
/0 Comments/in Bayfront, Community, Open House /by Lauren NajarThe Bay and master design and planning firm, Sasaki, will present three design options for the future of The Bay during a series of public open houses. The three design options build upon community feedback that was gathered within the community and with both in-person and online surveys in February.
The purpose of the public open houses is to share the designs and gather additional input about which aspects appeal to the community in order to prepare one desired master plan. All three designs combine nature and environment, arts and culture and recreation and boating opportunities – all of which were of utmost importance to the Sarasota community.
The public open house is open to all and will include presentation boards of each design with members of the Sasaki team available to answer questions. The feedback gathered from the community will be presented at the next major community open houses in late May.
