How about a little communication from the city regarding this issue? Periodic updates would help instead of just leaving us all in the dark about the bridge. Is it being repaired? Replaced? How about a timeline for when we can expect this issue to be resolved?

Also...it is ridiculous that the city has started posting a motorcycle cop trying to give people tickets for speeding and capitalize on its own failure to resolve this issue.

Thank you for reporting this issue to us via SeeClickFix St. Pete. We have forwarded the details you have provided to the appropriate City department so that they may investigate and take any necessary action. We appreciate your help! Sincerely, Mayor's Action Center

Issue 3872612 has been marked as a duplicate of this issue.

A new bridge on 40th Avenue NE is on the way. The City is moving forward with the selection of an engineering firm to develop a basis of design to determine the overall requirements of this bridge. This is the initial part of the process -- which will include public input and collaboration - to determine the scope and requirements of the project. The bridge, with its current modification of traffic pattern, will be in operation until the replacement bridge construction is completed. The funding for this work is provided primarily by the "Penny for Pinellas" tax as a capital infrastructure project. The City is currently working with FDOT to assist in funding.

Please do Not rebuild this bridge without raising it at least equal to Snell Isle Bridge. Honestly, It should be slightly higher than Snell Isle due to the potential of an eventual rebuild of Snell Isle (in the future) Don't work backwards, move forwards with a plan designed for 10-20-30 yrs ahead.

This will raise property values, thus increase tax values as we attract larger vessels to this vital area. Don't give us any BS about not having enough landing area for a taller bridge, we aren't asking for a skyway bridge. Look at "Thrill Hill" Bridge or even Snell Isle Bridge which is even shorter than 40th bridge. Thanks for the update.

Thank you for your input on this project. Public meetings will be scheduled as the project progresses. Please follow updates on the City website - www.stpete.org.

Thanks for fixing this request!
