An ugly spot in St. Petersburg will become a thing of beauty and community connections in spring of 2021. (Skyla Luckey/Patch )
ST. PETERSBURG, FL A spot in St. Petersburg that has been an eyesore for more than 21 years, and heavily avoided at nighttime, will soon turn into a beautiful, green space that can host festivals, food trucks and other gatherings.
For the past two years, Barkett Realty has been working with the city to design, plan and secure $500,000 in funding to turn the section at the Interstate 375 underpass near Fifth Avenue North and MLK Jr. Street N into a useful space for residents and visitors.
