    The bike lanes on both sides of 4th St. S. and Pinellas Point Dr., south of 45 Ave. S. have numerous obstructions and narrow to the point of making them hazardous and dangerous for cyclists.

    That section of road is very popular with cyclists. Every morning, for example, 30-50 cyclists use the road on a group ride. One of the most popular routes for recreational cyclists takes them along this road.

    I request that the lane be upgraded to meet minimum standards of 4 feet wide at all places. Debris needs to be swept and growth in the bike lane trimmed back.

    Photo attached documents one of the the problems. Others include debris; trees overgrown into the lane, widths as narrow as 32 inches; and standing water. I have sent Action Center those photos by email. I have a couple of dozen more to show that the same problems repeatedly along this route.

    Without upgrades and maintenance, cyclists must weave in and out of the bike lane to avoid hazards. In such cases, it is prudent for cyclists to use the full travel lane. However, many cars exceed the 35 mph speed limit, making it dangerous for cyclists on the road. St. Pete Police might want to monitor this road for speeders.

    I’ve included many photos to document the types of problems. I have others that will show that these problems are repeated along the route. These photos were taken after trash collection, meaning those bins in the lane were put there by the city trash collectors. That said, homeowners more often put their bins in the bike lane where we encounter them on morning rides.

    pothole in front of address
  • 6201 12 St S Saint Petersburg, Florida - Greater Pinellas Point Civic Association
    Have had to contact city multiple times for this resident as they keep just throwing furniture on the curbside. Would be nice if they could receive something indicating that they need to contact city for pick up instead of relying on their neighbors.

    The police has to be called out all the time to break up car racing in the parking lot of lake vista recreation center late at night. I would like to suggest that speed bumps be added throughout the parking lot to prevent car racing. The speed bumps will need to completely cross the road and parking spaces other wise they'll just drive around them. This is a dangers issue since sometimes they fly out of the parking lot and into the neighborhood across the street. The people that live around here call the police all the time but they can only do so much. I think it's a simple fix to solve the racing issue.
