The issue for consideration in this case is whether the Department of Transportation abused its discretion in its determination to go forward with the design for a high-rise, fixed span bridge to replace the existing Ringling Bridge, and failed to provide a meaningful opportunity for the public to participate in the planning and selection process.City followed statutory guidelines in the planning process for Sarasota Bridge Replacements, made adequate provisions for public transportation, and did not abuse discretion in the planning decision.
