I love the public nature of this beach. I have visited for many years but traffic is becoming quite an issue. Love the pavilion and restaurant . Thanks.

The pavilion and the beach the way it is now is great. A proposed restaurant would ruin the peace and quit and access to the public beach. I vacation every February right across the street from the pavilion and would most likely not come back to this location if the restaurant was there.

No. Do not destroy this neighborhood with a commercial evening business that attracts traffic all day all night. Thanks

Removing the pavillion is disrespectful to Sarasota history. The Pavillion is loved by visitors and locals, and future generations will love it, too.

Keep the pavilion as-is. We come here because of the beauty of Lido Pavilion and privatizing it will destroy Lido’s culture.

Keep Lido Beach as is. We need no further commercialization.

I recently moved to Sarasota, and one of the big draws was the Lido beach and pavilion. I am so enchanted by the amenities and the wonderful lap pool. It's low-key, welcoming, clean, and makes a visit to the beach that much more enjoyable. I use the lap pool at least 3 times/week. Please keep this wonderful resource open to the public!!

I have been coming to Lido Beach for 20 years. I love the laid back atmosphere and the inexpensive but good food. Please don’t change anything,

We stay across from Lido Beach in the winter and would hate to see it lose its public character. Easy access to the beach and the fact that it is mostly quiet and not jam-packed during the week were among the factors that drew us here. Also the reasonable pool fees. If it becomes expensive, noisy and crowded, my wife and I would likely spend our winters (and the money we put into the local economy) elsewhere.

Love the Pavillon the way it currently is and hope it stays that way.

simple upgade is all that is necessary. A commercial enterprise of the kind proposed, bar, entertainment, cabanas, etc. should not be allowed!!!. This is a family centered beach.

It is a perfect gem of a beach bistro.

as atourist i would think it absolutely necessary to protect the ecological System of the Waters and beaches of Florida . It is utterly irresponsible to not be engaged in a serious look at the horrific Problems involved in Fracking oil Drilling and Dumping in Ocean Waters. The Florida waterways are irreplaceable and no numbers of Dollars can possible replace lost Biotopes for endangered animals .

Please DO NOT let Lido Pavilion change. Every year we come here to relax and enjoy the beach as it is. Making changes would make the beach inaccessible to regular people who want a place to enjoy nature and relax in an affordable area.
