Your Community. Your Roads. Your Vote.
The Board is proposing speed cushions on Sorrento East roads without a community vote. Here's what you need to know.
THE COUNTY DECIDES, NOT JUST THE HOA. Speed cushions go through Sarasota County’s RNTMP Part II program. If more than 1/3 of abutting owners say NO, it's denied. Learn the process »
Two Things You Can Do Right Now
The speed cushion proposal must clear two separate hurdles. We need to oppose at both. Here are the two most important actions any Sorrento East resident can take today.
1. Sign the Community Petition
Submitted to the SEPOA Board AND Sarasota County. Tells both authorities your community opposes speed cushions. Takes 2 minutes. Works whether you live on an affected street or not.
2. Email Sarasota County Directly
Highest-impact action — especially if you live on an affected street. Counts directly toward the 1/3 opposition threshold that defeats the petition. We’ve pre-written the email. You just add your name.
Seconds lost per speed cushion for ambulances
Potential vehicle repair costs
Per-device home value reduction
What's At Stake

Speed cushions delay ambulances up to 10 seconds each. In cardiac arrest, every second counts.
Your Car
Suspension, alignment, and tire damage from 5,840+ impacts per year.
Your Home Value
Peer-reviewed studies show $5,000+ decline per device near your property.
Your Rights
The Board is acting without the community vote required by your Bylaws.
