How much more loss of rain, groundwater and added pollution must we endure before the madness stops??? I am not against development BUT Florida IS fragile; our local economies are based upon not just weather but wildlife and the ability to Use the Beaches!! Developing right up to the bayfront is NOT a good idea, has been shown to increase nutrient pollution, destroy fish nursery areas, and as a consequence kills the golden goose for hundreds of thousands of families whose income is dependent upon tourism and snowbirds.

No more over-development without the proper infrastructure. We are doing things backwards!!

I cannot see how you could add to that intersection and think anyone will benefit other than Benderson. Traffic is awful now.

As a resident, I oppose the congestion, danger and over crowding this will cause. In the long run it will decrease property values and pollute our environment!

County commissioners should be put on notice that this will be a major political issue during their next election cycle. No one should forget what how each commissioner voted.

As a former resident of Siesta Key, I can attest to traffic problems both on and off the island-and this was back in the 80's. Our explosive growth has worsened the situation considerably and will become intolerable with overbuilding. Please consider the long-term consequences!

Thoughtless redevelopment needs to stop. Long term plan and committmet is needed.

Adding the traffic to that intersection is just insane. Do you want to destroy access to Siesta Key?

As a retired County employee from Land Development I have reviewed the proposed plans. Stickney Point & 41 is currently a very dangerous intersection. This will worsen it badly. The State & or Sarasota County will have to spend millions to try & fix it. This is over development in which the Comprehensive Plan should over rule. Elected officials please say NO.

The root of the problem is we have elected officials that do not work for us, but for powerful private interests.
