Engineering Department Headline
Lido Beach Restoration




    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.
