3 issues in roads with high priority
31st Street South complete streets and Lakewood Trail Connector
Residents pushed the city to finish the long-delayed 31st Street South safety study and fix the dark, trash-strewn trail connector kids use to get to school. Staff said the study wraps soon and $40K in cameras is coming.
Complete Streets and Pedestrian Safety Funding
Council formally asked the administration to move forward with Comprehensive Plan changes related to speed management — a step toward slower, safer streets citywide.
E-Bike and E-Mobility Safety
Council members pressed the police chief on dangerous e-bike riding around schools and the Pinellas Trail; the department is doing monthly school enforcement and education, and helmet requirements may need state legislation.
