One of the highest priorities of the North Trail Redevelopment Partnership (NTRP) is attracting high-quality employment centers along The Trail to support sustainable commercial, residential and cultural amenities. Sustainable redevelopment involves study and implementation of the basic ingredients of community: transportation, character and speed of US 41, regulatory issues, economic factors, crime, relationships with and between institutions, neighborhoods and businesses, market perception and communications. Each facet is researched and addressed by one of the subcommittees listed below. Integration of these efforts is overseen by the body of the group. Communication and Rebranding Economic Redevelopment Redevelopment Public Safety Institutional We recognize that sustainable redevelopment along the North Trail will be a long and sometimes slow process. The NTRP is here for the long haul. One of the most significant accomplishments to date is the formation of a stable, self sustaining group under the umbrella of a nonprofit Florida Corporation recognized as a 501c6 by the IRS. Since formation, the NTRP has been successfully involved with: Placing the North Trail on the City’s priority list. Successful adoption of “Tamiami Cultural District” as the formal new name for the area north of 10th street on way finding program by gathering support from all the major stake holders on the trail. Adoption of the Enterprise Zone on the majority of the NT commercial parcels in November 2009. Assisting the Ringling Museum in the successful and timely installation of banners to serve as advertising and identity for the Ringling International Arts Festival. Travel to study successful redevelopment models elsewhere in the state by Members of the Redevelopment Committee. Our Chairman has traveled to other parts of the world (Toronto, Canada and Ahmedabad, India) to study BRT and light rail models successfully being applied to transit oriented redevelopment. Addition of North Trail on MPO’s long term transportation plan Working with the neighborhoods, obtained a grant from the City for installation of the first security camera on the North Trail. Creation of a North Trail Directory, “A Guide to the Tamiami Cultural District” As we all know, redevelopment of the North Trail faces many challenges. The NTRP believes that the North Trail has many assets such as the fine educational institutions, arts programs, museums, proximity to transportation, diverse population and workforce, historical significance and strong neighborhoods. Success lies in capitalizing on the strengths while pursuing opportunities for improvement. https://mytamiami.org/board-of-directors daily 0.75 2021-09-23 https://mytamiami.org/resources daily 0.75 2021-09-26 https://mytamiami.org/contact daily 0.75 2021-10-16 https://static1.squarespace.com/static/6142844d59f6de2912d435b5/t/616a23f7977906130113a650/1634346011682/Final+Proof+to+Spotlight+Graphics_Page_01.jpg Contact - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://mytamiami.org/neighborhoods daily 0.75 2021-10-18 https://static1.squarespace.com/static/6142844d59f6de2912d435b5/t/616cc6a62646c56d7b4db107/1634518697644/North+Trail+Map-03.jpg Neighborhoods https://mytamiami.org/businesses daily 0.75 2021-10-16 https://static1.squarespace.com/static/6142844d59f6de2912d435b5/t/61525e91865f6d04be43867a/1634087336164/RinglingCampusCrosswalk.jpg Businesses - Ringling College of Art & Design Ringling College of Art & Design https://static1.squarespace.com/static/6142844d59f6de2912d435b5/t/616a21aab6448a457b9539af/1634345397446/smugglers+cove.png Businesses - Smugglers Cove Adventure Golf https://static1.squarespace.com/static/6142844d59f6de2912d435b5/t/61525bc1d7cd21191f5b2049/1634087317564/AsoloRepEden.jpg Businesses - Asolo Repertory Theatre https://static1.squarespace.com/static/6142844d59f6de2912d435b5/t/61525af8fb788249e9596f77/1634087352510/DSC00547+whitaker+pk.JPG Businesses - Whitaker Park https://static1.squarespace.com/static/6142844d59f6de2912d435b5/t/616a213956c41e5271c015b1/1634345286587/leaf+and+lentil.PNG Businesses - Leaf & Lentil https://static1.squarespace.com/static/6142844d59f6de2912d435b5/t/616a20cbd557a24a0b97bec7/1634345179761/Regency+hotel.jpg Businesses - Regency Inn & Suites Sarasota https://static1.squarespace.com/static/6142844d59f6de2912d435b5/t/61525dab6000dc6b04a6ae72/1634087345990/AdobeStock_88327363.jpeg Businesses - Ringling Museum https://mytamiami.org/opportunities daily 0.75 2021-10-13 https://static1.squarespace.com/static/6142844d59f6de2912d435b5/t/61464038b2c8c0172dae969e/1631993943534/NTA+overlay+map.png Opportunities - North Trail Overlay District The character of the North Trail corridor began to change following the completion of Interstate 75 in the early 1980's. What was once a thriving segment of US 41 consisting of many destination businesses slowly began to deteriorate. Since 1989, various studies of the North Trail corridor have been undertaken in an effort to revitalize this part of the city. The studies have provided guidance on how to transform the corridor into a thriving, walkable district that supports local community redevelopment objectives and new urbanism concepts. This community-based vision has continued to evolve through close consultation with the people living and working along the corridor with the ultimate goal of creating sustainable redevelopment with quality buildings and streetscapes that are compatible with adjacent residential neighborhoods. It is a long-term vision that will need to occur in phases over time. The North Trail corridor is a critical, but underutilized and undervalued gateway to some of Sarasota's most culturally and economically significant assets. US 41 provides mobility for roughly 40,000 automobiles a day as a major regional transportation corridor, but lacks a sense of place and positive cultural identity. Rather than favoring pedestrian and neighborhood movements, US 41 simply functions as a pathway facilitating automobile travel and is viewed as perilous for pedestrians. However, the North Trail has the potential to function as a destination attraction. The vision for the corridor attempts to transform the image of the North Trail into a true, definable, and marveled place known for its historical, cultural, educational, civic, neighborhood, and commercial assets. Converting US 41 to a downtown main street is not the answer. The solution is in re-making the cross streets and key focal points of the US 41 corridor where people can feel comfortable gathering and lingering in well-lit, accessible, and visible centers of activity.
