| Sarasota,
FL: Palm Avenue, between Cocoanut Ave. and Main St., temporarily
will be a one-way street beginning Wed., May 19, 2010. Traffic
will flow southbound (toward Main Street) for two weeks while
a new water main is installed along Palm Ave.  Both
northbound and southbound lanes are expected to re-open Wed.,
June 2nd.
The new water main is one of many improvement
projects occurring in downtown Sarasota. A few yards to the
north on Palm Ave., construction is underway for the new parking
garage and retail space. An antiquated water main will be
replaced under Main Street immediately after Memorial Day,
requiring the closure of Main Street from Palm Ave. to the
Five Points intersection the month of June. When that improvement
is completed, work will begin on a new roundabout at Five
Points to create a more user-friendly intersection. When the
projects are finished, downtown will be even more attractive
and enjoyable for residents, business owners and visitors.
