Civic Issues
Topics getting the most attention in Tarpon Springs public meetings, ranked by how frequently they are discussed.
3 issues in roads with high priority
Flooding and erosion around the Bayou road
After last week's heavy rain, a resident warned that water along the Bayou near the yacht club is eroding the road edge — a danger for school buses and families. She's asking the city and county to act before someone is hurt.
Anclote Road sidewalks and bridge safety
Residents say the city promised sidewalks and bike lanes along Anclote Road two years ago and nothing happened. The bridge narrows dangerously and speed is a real hazard — Commissioner Eisner noted the project is county-controlled and likely five or more years out.
Disston Avenue extension connectivity
Residents again pressed the commission to open Belcher Road to Disston Avenue to relieve brutal US 19 congestion, especially with 400+ new Anclote Harbor apartments coming. A prior $100,000 Forward Pinellas grant for the project reportedly went unused.
