Dear County Commissioners,
I’m writing to voice my strong opposition to the proposed Comprehensive Plan Amendment No. 2017-A, (created and submitted by Palmer Ranch Holdings LTD.) an amendment related to an extension of Bay Street, eastward from Honore Ave., across I-75 by overpass, to a future North-South roadway. To be sure, this amendment to the County plan, if passed, will precipitously increase westerly traffic to the Tamiami Trail.
As a concerned resident of Park Trace Estates, which abuts Bay St., I’m deeply worried about the escalation in congestion, noise, pollution, and the unsafe traffic conditions this amendment will bring.
As a voting resident of Sarasota County, I urge all County Commissioners to vote no on this amendment.
Thank you.
Sincerely,
