Restoration work complete at St. Armands

Significant restoration and improvement efforts were recently completed at St. Armands Circle.

Following devastation caused by Hurricanes Debby, Helene, and Milton, City of Sarasota Parks and Recreation staff worked diligently to restore and enhance the lighting and landscaping at St. Armands Circle, bringing this highly visible public space back to and even exceeding its former condition.

Workers installed a wide selection plants, including 30 new trees and 4,600 shrubs, annuals, and groundcovers. Plants were selected for their resilience, sustainability (including saltwater tolerance), limited reliance on irrigation, and environmental friendliness.

In addition to landscaping, work was done in conjunction with the Public Works Department to restore sidewalks, electrical and lighting systems including the installation of new light bollards around the circle.

The project is estimated to cost $500,000 for which the City has applied for federal reimbursement.
