On October 29th the Burns Square Property Owners and merchants invited over 500 people that live within 750 feet of the intersection of Orange and Pineapple Avenues to a neighborhood meeting. We invited everyone to a discussion/debate about the Burns Square mixed-use area, the possible move of the Woman's Exchange, civic parking garages, the Burns Court Cinema and the proposed roundabout at Orange and Pineapple Avenues. Our goal was to keep our neighbors well informed of the facts as well as have an opportunity to express concerns and have questions answered. We were completely open and transparent about our goals for this special part of Sarasota as we work toward the vitality this mixed-use area depends upon.
Over 75 people attended the meeting throughout the hour discussion over wine and cheesecake. The weather was wonderful and it was a great night for neighbors to bond and meet one another. We want to thank those that came and for spending an hour with us to learn what we are so passionate about. Everyone's support has been greatly appreciated.
