The City of Sarasota has temporarily rolled back the recently expanded downtown parking rules following concerns raised by local businesses and the community.

While this is an important step, the discussion is far from over.

The City Commission will revisit the issue later this month, making continued public input more important than ever.

Join the Downtown Parking Open House to learn more about the City's parking program, recent enforcement changes, and what's being considered moving forward.

🗓 Monday, August 24, 2026�
🕠 5:30 – 7:00 PM
📍 Sarasota Commission Chambers
1565 1st Street, Downtown Sarasota

City staff will present information about the parking program, followed by a Q&A session with written questions accepted throughout the meeting.

This is your opportunity to share your experiences, ask questions, and help shape the conversation before the City Commission's parking workshop on August 31.

Whether you live, work, shop, or own a business downtown, please continue making your voice heard. We appreciate everyone who has spoken up so far, let's keep the momentum going.

The Hudson Bayou Neighborhood Association does not endorse any candidate, we do however share information to allow you to make informed choices.

Dear neighbors,

Residents have one powerful tool, choosing who sits at the city commission table.

I'm running to work for you, and that means showing up before I ask for your vote.

So please stop by for coffee and conversation:

Our neighborhoods are invited to join the City of Sarasota at upcoming neighborhood meetings to learn about the work completed to evaluate speeding across the city and review the proposed traffic calming strategies designed to support speed reduction.

The City is seeking your feedback on the Draft Neighborhood Traffic Calming Maps to ensure they accurately reflect your community’s needs. These draft maps identify streets experiencing speeding concerns and outline proposed solutions that, once implemented, will support lowering speeds toward a 20 mph environment on local roads. Because the maps are a working document, community input is essential and will directly inform updates.

Neighborhood residents are encouraged to share feedback on traffic calming solutions, potential additions or revisions, and new ideas. Attend your CCNA Area meeting, review your neighborhood’s draft map, and provide input verbally, in writing, or online. Multiple participation options are available to make your voice heard.
