ONE MORE STEP IS NEEDED BEFORE 'NO PARKING' SIGNS GO UP
ON AVENIDA DE MAYO; THE STORMWATER PROJECT SHOULD STAY
WITHIN ITS BUDGET; AND THE SIESTA KEY ASSOCIATION VEEP WILL BE
HONORED BY THE COUNTY

As it turns out, new parking measures on
Avenida de Mayo cannot be implemented
until they have gone through one more step at
the County Commission level, I learned this
week.
Preisser, a county spokesman, discovered
on Oct. 29 that the board still will have to
approve a resolution "memorializing" its Oct.
23 action. However, Preisser was unable to
learn a timeline for when that will take place.
Although the commissioners voted unanimously last week to direct staff to follow It should be a relatively simple process to
Fire Chief Mike Tobias' recommendations to get the signs up once the resolution wins
create "No Parking" zones on the street, Curt approval, he indicated.
A sign put out in March on Avenida de Mayo alerted the public to a forthcoming Sarasota County
Traffic Advisory Council discussion of parking issues on the street. File photo
