“They’ll be coming round the island when they come.

Funding for the construction of roundabouts at some Anna Maria Island intersections could be available in 2030, according to the Sarasota/Manatee Metropolitan Planning Organization’s 2020-45 long-range plan.

Roundabouts could come sooner depending on the timing of the Florida Department of Transportation ‘Complete Streets’ project studies and municipal undertakings in Holmes Beach.

According to the cost-feasible outline of the MPO’s long-range plan, three island intersections could receive roundabout construction funding in 2030:

Cortez Road at Gulf Drive in Bradenton Beach

East Bay Drive at Manatee Avenue in Holmes Beach

Gulf Drive at Manatee Avenue in Holmes Beach”
