ST. PETE BEACH â Itâs just a matter of time before someone walking or bicycling to Gulf Beaches Elementary Magnet School, at 8600 Boca Ciega Drive, gets hit by a speeding motorist, residents told city officials.
During the April 13 City Commission meeting, parents with children who attend the school, and residents living along the two-lane residential roadway between 87th and 75th avenues, said something has to be done to stop speeding motorists before someone gets hurt or killed.
Those who commented during the meeting told commissioners the most reckless speeding drivers are actually parents taking their children to and from school.
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
