Sarasota, FL (July 10, 2023): The community is invited to learn about the Engineering Design Criteria Manual (EDCM) 2023 update and participate in break-out sessions by topic during a public meeting July 19.

The EDCM is a guide that provides established design standards for roads, trails, sidewalks and other infrastructure within the right-of-way, and is used by City of Sarasota staff as well as private sector engineers and developers.

The public meeting will be held 56:30 p.m. Wednesday, July 19 at the SRQ Media Studio in the City Hall Annex, 1565 First Street.

During the meeting, City transportation and engineering staff will provide a presentation on the final draft of the EDCM 2023 update, which includes revisions to chapters on streetscape, street design, stormwater and erosion, subdivision regulation and solid waste. Each topic will be discussed during break-out table sessions.

The meeting will be an opportunity for citizens to provide feedback on the final draft prior to City Commission public hearings in Fall 2023.

Public outreach for the EDCM 2023 update started in November 2022. Four community outreach events have been held and two online surveys conducted. A third survey is open until July 28 and can be completed online.

Additional information about the EDCM 2023 update is available at http://www.SarasotaFL.gov/government/edcm

Questions should be directed to City Engineer Nik Patel or Chief Transportation Planner Alvimarie Corales.
