ST. PETE BEACH â A week after city commissioners voted not to fund the purchase of decorative street signs for Pass-A-Grille and Corey Avenue, it was decided a scaled-down version of the issue will be put back on the agenda for consideration sometime next month.
Last week, Commissioners Ward Friszolowski, Doug Izzo and Christopher Graus voted against a plan to replace traditional street signs in Pass-A-Grille with ornate historical versions. They argued the city should first fund and address major must-have issues, such as street flooding and pothole repair, before taking on like-to-have projects such as new street signs.
At that time, Friszolowski noted, âItâs a nice thing to have, but we have pressing issues; we have flooding issues ⦠the pothole issues. I just think that this is something we ought to reconsider sometime in the future, but not until we deal with issues of flooding.â
