Several
years ago, the Engineering Department began the task of restoring
one of Sarasota's most treasured assets, Lido Beach on beautiful
Lido Key. The beach has been subjected to heavy storms in recent
years, causing severe erosion. Erosion on such a scale has been
blamed for, among other things, displacing much needed sea-life
ecosystems that help to keep our oceans in sync. Erosion definitely
has an adverse impact on the tourism industry. In partnership
with the State Government, the Engineering Department and the
City's consulting engineers, Coastal Planning and Engineering,
Inc. (CPE), devised the long-range Lido Key Beach Erosion Control
Project, which will help assure the preservation of Lido Beach
for residents and visitors for many years to come.
