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 and take any necessary action. We appreciate your help! Sincerely, Mayor's Action Center

Transportation Department staff will review and advise -

The street is no wider than any other part of 23rd St where one side parking has been in force for a very long time. This would only extend to this block what is common throughout the Kenwood neighborhood. It seems that there used to be a sign on this block in years past.

With cars presently parked on both sides of the street I have been forced to stop on 9th Ave to wait for traffic to come out since only one car can pass when there is parking on both sides. This is a very dangerous situation since traffic on 9th Ave travels at a high rate of speed.

23rd Street between 5th and 7th Avenues N = 27' Wide and parking has been prohibited on the west side since before we kept records.

23rd Street between 7th and 9th Avenues N = 23' Wide and parking has never been prohibited on either side as far back as our records go 2007.

In order to have perking restricted on the west side someone would need to contact me an obtain a petition to be circulated to the homes directly affected. If at least 2/3 rds sign in favor we can post the restriction.

I can be reached at 893-7843.

There is presently a 'no parking' sign between 7th and 8th Ave. which looks quite old and the rest of 23rd St all the way to 1st Ave N has this same designation.
Also, why would a narrower street, according to your numbers, not have restrictions and while a wider street does?? This does not make sense.

You are correct, there has been one sign, just north of the stop sign on 7th Street going back before 2007. There has been no consistency with implementation of parking restrictions in the past because it can be so controversial. So, unless there is a documented hazard for emergency services caused by parked vehicles blocking the roadway, we now require a petition.

Please call 893-7843 if you require a petition
