Manasota Key Sidewalk, Lighting & Landscaping

Project Description

The Manasota Key MSTU Advisory Board requested the development of a Community Plan including, but not limited to, sidewalks, bike paths, crosswalks, and lighting. Phase 1 of this project consisted of a conceptual master plan completed by Weiler Engineering in December 2013. Phase 2 is the design and construction of a 5' Sidewalk, Lighting & Landscaping on the West side of Gulf Blvd. from the south end of the beach parking lot to Little Court and the East side of Gulf Boulevard from Little Court to the end of the road at Stump Pass State Park. Phase 3 was the design of Sidewalk and Decorative lighting along the commerical area from the north side of the round about to the north entrance of the county beach parking lot. Phase 4 is the design of sidewalk and decorative lighting on N. beach Road from the N. entrance to the beach parking lot to the Sarasota County line.

Latest Updates

Phase 4 Update: Johnson Engineering was selected as the design consultant for this phase. At the March 15th MSTU meeting, the advisory board approved moving forward with the design, with a request to shift construction to FY26. In September, a drainage feasibility study was incorporated into the design to explore potential options. The Engineer of Record (EOR) presented the drainage feasibilty findings with some optional plans to the advisory board, which recommended incorporating drainage components into the sidewalk project. The County Project Manager will now work on developing the scope and associated fees for this additional work.
