Client:
City of Sarasota
Background:
The purpose of this project is to develop a Project Traffic Report that assesses potential
improvements on US 41 within the City of Sarasota. Specific roundabout improvements are
being considered for the intersections at Gulfstream Avenue and at Fruitville Road. These are
part of ongoing evaluations to improve overall mobility within the downtown area to integrate
pedestrian, bicycle, and transit modes of travel and demonstrating the benefits of multi-modal
system improvements versus traditional capacity improvements.
Detailed traffic simulation was undertaken using VISSIM along the two-mile study corridor from
14th Street to Orange Avenue. Recommended multi-modal alternatives are developed, together
with a project implementation schedule, project funding schedule, and referenced provisions from
the City's Comprehensive Plan Elements that support the recommendations.
