I love Lido Beach and plan to be a steward again when the skimmers arrive to protect their colony.

Please save the Pavillion. It is the soul of the community.

As a long time snowbird who has a time share condo on Ben Franklin Drive I must say that transformation of the Lido Beach Pavilion into a late night Tiki Bar and restaurant is an inappropriate use of beach front space.

The proposed changes are a de facto privatization and are incompatible with a public beach amenity.

Please leave things as they are! Do not put private interests over the Sarasota public being able to enjoy their beach!

Keep it original. The Key doesn't need a cheesy restaurant.

No is my vote--we need to keep this public beach accessible to the public and not destroy the beachy atmosphere we all enjoy, not to mention the delicious food we already have at the concession. People who desire a club atmosphere have plenty of options already and those who wish to drink late at tiki huts also have several places to go. This so-called improvement will be just another travesty in Sarasota where a legacy site is destroyed and the wishes of the citizens of Sarasota are ignored. Again, no, to removing the accessibility and affordability and charm of Lido Pavilion

Lido Beach belongs to the average person who loves the beach, the Gulf and the friendly relaxing atmosphere. It should be kept as a Public Beach that all beach lovers can continue to enjoy. It’s enough to deal with the Red Tide.We don’t want Lido to become an exclusive spot, cutting out the beautiful place it is now. There is too much expansion and lack of natural space now.

The concession is fine they way it is now, in its natural state. This is what makes Lido beach unique..
