N. Tamami Trail Improvements in Sarasota Added to Planning List

Sarasota community leaders were successful Monday in adding North Tamiami Trail improvements to the funding priority list of the Sarasota-Manatee Metropolitan Planning Organization. … New College of Florida, whose campus straddles U.S. 41 at University Parkway, also supports the North Tamiami Trail improvement project. “It would be a definite improvement over what is there now,” said John Martin, vice president of finance and administration at New College. “A roundabout would improve safety and at the same time improve the flow of the traffic.”
