Thank you for reporting this issue to us via SeeClickFix St. Pete. We have forwarded the details you have provided to the Neighborhood Transportation Department so that they may investigate your request for the addition of traffic calming measures in your neighborhood. We appreciate your help! Sincerely, Mayor's Action Center

The Transportation Department is working with the neighborhoods to consider additional crossings as part of an overall comprehensive review of the corridor through the Complete Streets Program, currently underway. For more information you should work with your Neighborhood Association or contact the Project Manager - Cheryl.Stacks@stpete.org

Michael - cars are speeding up and down MLK. The other crosswalk on 17th doesn't stop traffic. There needs to be a sense of urgency to this issue. Plus, the Euclid St. Paul Neighborhood Association wants a crosswalk there as well.

Let's cut through the red tape and make both Cresent Lake and Euclid St. Paul safer for families and pedestrians trying to enjoy the area.

Still waiting on a crosswalk. Any update?

Please call e-mail Cheryl for any questions on the Complete Streets Program and schedule

Have emailed Cheryl with no response.

I reported an issue with the crosswalk at 17th and MLK two weeks and was told I needed to contact the SP Police Department. I don't have time to make 10 calls to get attention to this. I almost got hit 2 weeks ago PUSHING A BABY CARRIAGE. If a baby carriage doesn't get drivers to slow down what will? I agree...cut through the red tape and address the issue at hand before someone is killed on MLK by a careless speeding driver.

The installation of any new crosswalks along this corridor is being reviewed holistically through the Complete Streets Program, which is currently underway and wont have final recommendations until this fall. I'm sorry we are not able to respond to your request sooner, however a comprehensive approach is required when looking at the situation along such a major route.

If you feel unsafe crossing this corridor at unprotected mid-block locations please use the crossing provided at the traffic signals where pedestrians are expected to cross. We have in the meantime requested the police to provide continued enforcement. If you are still experiencing high speeds call the Police for additional enforcement.

Any issues with to function of the existing crosswalk can be reported through See Click Fix. You do not need to call the Police or anyone else.

Still waiting for an update on this issue?

The Complete Streets Program has completed final review and approvals. The concept for the MLK corridor has been developed, circulated for comment and approved. The design for the corridor is currently underway and a new pavement marking plan will be implemented this spring/summer as part of the annual resurfacing program. Vertical elements and crosswalks will follow.

Thank you for your past submission via SeeClickFix. The City of St Petersburg periodically reviews past reports that are made from citizens within our city limits, and in an effort to clean-up old issues that were resolved some time ago, we are marking as 'closed' those issues that were submitted in the past for which the work has been completed or the issue has otherwise been resolved.

If you think for any reason that the issue you submitted in the past might still be unresolved, please feel free to submit a new report with the SeeClickFix St. Pete website and we will make sure the issue is directed to the appropriate City department to be addressed as soon as possible.

Thank you again - Sincerely,
Mayor's Action Center
