For over two years, plans have been underway to make substantial improvements to West Dearborn Street from SR 776 to Old Englewood Road. The Sarasota Board of County Commissioners awarded the construction contract to Wright Construction, out of Ft. Myers, at their meeting on May 4th. The contractor has 45 days to start the work. The improvements to Dearborn Street include new decorative sidewalks, lighting, signage, pedestrian gathering areas, additional on-street parking, and a gateway sign. Construction is slated to start in the 300 block of West Dearborn and proceed westward to Old Englewood Road. Once those sections are finished, they will move to the blocks leading east to SR 776. For more information, contact the Englewood CRA at 473•9795 or email dmarks@scgov.net. Monday, May 17, 2021
