NEW CROSSWALKS ON MIDNIGHT PASS ROAD Sarasota News Leader November 23, 2012 Siesta Seen Page 79 The six new pedestrian crosswalks on Midnight Pass Road between the Beach Road and Stickney Point Road intersections are almost complete, Brian Bollas, planning and environment manager for Parsons Brinckerhoff, a consulting firm for the Florida Department of Transportation, told The Sarasota News Leader Nov. 19. All that remains is for pads to be added at each end of every cross- walk to comply the Americans with Disabilities Act, he added. Those pads facilitate use of wheel- chairs over the crosswalks.

Pe- destrians can activate a light before using the crosswalk, to alert drivers to stop. The permanent ther- mal striping was placed on the crosswalks last week, the News Leader has learned.
