Sarasota Public Works

First I'd like to thank all the people from your department who I see cleaning up Pioneer park on a regular basis. Yesterday I took my 2 1/2 year grandson to the play ground. There was an empty cardboard food container on top of one area. On one sliding board was what appeared to be the contents of said food container, possibly regurgitated. I was noticing flies on the bridge that leads from one slide to another as well as on the mulch below . Being unable to see, I finally climbed up and noticed what appeared to be melting fecal matter dripping through the slots. I am so glad my grandson is unable to fully tell a story or my son and daughter in law, who live in East Bradenton, would ask me never to take him to the park again. In general the last few days, there has been more litter. Do not know if it is in your jurisdiction but when will the stream and banks of the same be cleaned up? It is disgusting to see (on the banks and in the water) plastic bags, food containers, whiskey bottles, etc.( even a sanitary napkin one time). Thank you for your concern and, I'm certain, the rectification of the unacceptable condition of this beautiful park and playground equipment. We are grateful for it.

The crossing lights @ Beneva & Circus do not work. They are stuck on DON'T WALK and there is a handicap complex nearby plus many Shopping Center customers & workers get the bus at that corner are having a hard time crossing the street and I've seen several near accidents because of this.

Siesta Drive Eastbound off of Siesta Key at 41 thetrafficsignal only stays green for seconds, not allowing enough traffic to pass before turning yellow then red again.

POT HOLES, MANY, AT U.S. 41 AND GULF STREAM INTERSECTION. TERRIBLE SITUATION. POT HOLES HAVE BEEN THERE NOT DAYS OR WEEKS OR MONTHS, BUT YEARS! AND NOT BEEN FIXED. PLEASE GO AND LOOK AND SEE AND THINK AND DO: FIX THE POT HOLES. THIS IS REALLY A SERIOUS SITUATION, VERY DANGEROUS, A MAJOR INTERSECTION. THERE REALLY IS NO EXCUSE FOR THIS SITUATION THAT HAS GONE UN NOTICED FOR YEARS. NOT JUST DAMAGE TO AUTOS BUT DANGER TO DRIVERS AND PEDESTRIANS. URGENT!

Traffic light at the corner of N Beneva Rd and Glen Oaks Manor Dr is not working properly

Storm water structure in disrepair at corner of Alta Vista St, and Lockwood Ridge Rd.

Missing asphalt in need of repair. Fell and broke ankle walkin across street to car.

What is going on with Tuttle and Swift between Bee Ridge and Clark. That is the worst road resurfacing job I have ever seen. How much did I pay for that ridiculous mess?????

Railroad crossing on Beneva & Parkland ave. (north of bahia vista) is worse now. I spoke with the city: 941-861-5000 & she said that they are ''always'' fixing this crossing. HOLD ON. If its worse: it has not been fixed. She said: that our driving fast makes them worse? WHAT? - None of it made sense. Other railroads are smooth. Why not fix this one.
"""If you had to drive through you would fix it. I bet the ones you drive through are smooth & sweet & SAFE!. IF you drive through any!
My friend just called the railroad Co. & they said Sarasota city has to fix it. Thank you! Many blessings!

The bicycle lane (at least that's what I think it is) on Shamrock gets very wide when you approach the intersection at Banyan. Many times cars use it as a lane at that traffic light. This causes a potentially dangerous scenario if a car goes into that lane and a car in the other lane is going to go into the right lane westbound of Shamrock.

Can there either be a sign placed indicating what that lane is, or can the lanes be marked so that it is clearer for all drivers?

missing and damaged cleats on Docks at 10th St boat ramps.
