If that ends up being the reason, then Wawa can pay for parts, installation, operation, and maintenance. No reason the rest of us should pay with our taxes and our time to benefit a single private enterprise not even based in Florida. This is the second time in the past year I've seen lights installed so close to each other in north St Pete. The other one, on 16th St and 94th Ave N, causes major backups and delays daily, but they're treating the locals like our opinion doesn't matter! We don't want it, but like you said for this one, they think it's a done deal that can't be reversed. Sounds like Kriseman might need to reconsider the civil engineer position.

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

A new Traffic Control Signal at 4th Street / 87th Avenue N was part of the new development agreement between Wawa and the Florida Department of Transportation, who has traffic control jurisdiction of 4th Street, based on increased vehicle and pedestrian volume at the new business. There is no legal public notification required and 100% funding was provided by Wawa. The new signal will be coordinated and synchronized with the others along 4th Street in this area and there will be little delay to through traffic travelling at the speed limit. This new signal will not only provide vehicle, but much needed pedestrian access across 4th Street in this area. The City was not consulted for this initiative.
