In a unique partnership, the City of Sarasota teamed up with the Laurel Park Neighborhood Association to re-install bricks on a portion of Rawls Avenue. Approximately 50 residents and City employees worked side-by-side, laying 12,000 bricks along a one block stretch of Rawls between Oak Street and Devonshire Lane.
