they also need one at harbor and beach

I look forward to the Public Works Assistant Director rectifying this safety issue.

Public Works Director assigned this issue to Assistant City Engineer

Good Morning,
You are correct, the contractor mistakenly missed this location. They have notified of the issue and will be back to replace the cross-walk in the correct location.

Thank You,
James Clinch
Asst. City Engineer

perhaps u can save some money by doing harbor and beach at the airport at same time

it is a very dangerous area due to high speed traffic and needs a marking

Thank you for your comment. Unfortunately, Harbor Dr. is a Sarasota County roadway is not planned to be marked as part of this City project.

please forward to appropriate county official on our behalf

the inconsistency along harbor of sidewalks is surely a city concern

We have already discussed this specific location with the County and because the intersection is not stop controlled it was recommended from their Engineers that a cross-walk is not placed at this location. It is not a "safe" crossing location and a crosswalk would give the impression that it is.

so nearest croswalk is what a mile away?
sidewalks should not dead end

It's a complicated situation but as I said the determination was made not to install a crosswalk at this location. This doesn't mean you can't cross the street legally, it just means you need to use extra caution because this is not a stop controlled intersection.

huh?
how can city and county disavow a known hazardous condition for which there is a fix ie a crosswalk especially given the recent extension of sidewalk on beach up to harbor

lead horse to water but dont let him drink?

I understand the confusion, let me try and explain the decision with more clarity. When you have an intersection which does not provide a stop for vehicles, such as on Harbor Dr., it is not a safe crossing. Adding a crosswalk implies that it is a safe crossing, when that is not the case. For example someone with impaired vision, could be under the impression that they could cross safely through the crosswalk and that vehicles will stop. This intersection doesn't provide a stop for vehicles, and therefore does not have a cross walk. We may have to agree to disagree, but that is the thought process behind the decision.

Contractor will correct the Ormond St. crosswalk.

then how do u explain the crosswalks further north on harbor drive?
same conditions and traffic and speed limit
