Town of Belleair Water Department PLUS

Pelican Place entrance road gets flooded after every rain, regardless of the amount of rain. During the last storm, 100 feet of road was flooded up to 3 feet deep and impassible, even moving a railroad tie! This flooding is due to the lack of maintenance in the ditches on each side of the trail behind our property, which abuts the trail. The ditch is overgrown and not maintained on a regular basis, but when it is cut, the cuttings are not removed. The sewer pipe is already full of dirt and plants which are growing in the pipe and never cleaned out. Then the cuttings fill it completely. With water having no where to go, it overflows the ditch and backs up into Pelican Place streets and yards. As President of Pelican Place Association, I would be happy to work with you to insure the safety of our residents. This is not only a dangerous situation from the flooding perspective, but also the mosquito, and disease that can be spread from standing water for over a week. Please contact me to update me on your meeting last Thursday with the City of Belleair and county employees. I can be reached at 727-424-6155 before 3 pm any day. Thank you - Jane House

WATERING NOW 10:00 AM MONDAY

Depression in curb over a sanitary line. Possible leak.

Street lights on Magnolia and part of Rosery Road have been out since construction. They are still off and construction has been over for months.

The bushes are too high to see over. They keep pulling weeds out of the retention pond and the trail area but the don't trim the bushes that make it hard to get onto Ponce.

There needs to be some yield to pedestrians/pedestrian crosswalk signage at the IR roundabout. If not for all of the brick crosswalk areas, at a minimum they should be on the Indian Rocks approaches. I have stood there to cross IR with my dog on numerous occasions as cars passed us by without a glance.

Garbage cans continuously left in front yard.

Can you please check out the stand of trees on the south side of my house that are on the empty lot. There is a huge amount of tree debris on the ground around the trees. I have a wood tick infestation at my house because of it. I have had an exterminator at my house twice to treat and he has said that the issue stems from the trees and the stuff on the ground. Can we ask the owner to clean it up? Let me know if there is anything I can do, as it is not my property to go onto and mess with.

TWO LARGE DIPS IN STREET ON EITHER SIDE OF MANHOLE

Rotary circle at Ponce de Leon and Indian Rocks Road. Near accidents due to ignorance of right-of-way rules. Old habits die hard. IRB drivers not yielding to intersecting drivers with right of way. Near accident today by driver with right of way (me) who entered rotary slower than north-bound elderly driver with duty to yield driving 35-40 mph. She would have T-boned me had I not yielded to her incursion. She had an out of state tag, probably had no idea what rotary rules are, and even felt entitled to aply the old stop sign rules (which no longer apply). Some new signage is needed to advise uninformed motorists what a 4-way yield, unlike a 4-way stop, means.

Depression on sides of sanitary manhole in the middle of the roadway. Resident reported who also sprayed the area with paint.

Depression in roadway, curb, and ROW.
