The Lido Beach restoration project is expected to wrap up this week, finishing early and on budget, according to City of Sarasota officials. During the past two months, recycled sand was placed on 1.8 miles of shoreline, stretching from Lido Pool to Ted Sperling Park, stabilizing the shoreline and infrastructure. The project replenished sand lost during Tropical Storm Debby in 2012. Surveys are still being conducted to determine exactly how much sand was deposited onto Lido Beach, but it is expected to be approximately 197,000 cubic yards. Depending upon the final amount of sand recycled, projected costs are expected to be approximately $3.6 million with those dollars funded by the Federal Emergency Management Agency, Florida Department of Environmental Protection and the Tourist Development Tax.
