Overbrook Gardens Community Petitions for Lemon Bay Bridge Feasibility
Residents and organizers Harry Norwark and Ray McGinn collected nearly 500 signatures to petition Sarasota County commissioners for a causeway across Lemon Bay to Manasota Key. The effort followed public support and a visible protest sign urging action, with commissioners promising to consider transportation improvements. Nearby notices report social visits, a Fourth of July square dance group, and a sudden illness prompting travel.
