Description

Several months ago, the city re paved the intersection at 79Th Street South and Causeway Boulevard South in the Causeway Isles neighborhood of St Petersburg. Thank you.
However, the job was never completed. There is a center median on 79th Street at that intersection and the yellow lines indicating the approaching median and the intersection crosswalks in general were never repainted. In fact, these previous street markings were paved over and thereby ERASED. The lack of these “Approach Markings” has created a severe traffic hazard at this intersection. There is a large palm tree in this median that has previously been hit by a car, when the “Approach Markings” were there. NOW THEY ARE GONE. The fact that the City REMOVED THE TRAFFIC MARKINGS and never replaced them is putting drivers, bicyclists, and pedestrians at risk. The lack of a completed set of yellow lines there is certainly a lawsuit waiting to happen, or worse yet, an injury waiting to happen, followed by the lawsuit.
