Could St Petersburg’s “Complete Streets” plans increase bicycle accidents and injuries amongst pedestrians?
The City of St Petersburg has put together a list of 16 projects it is calling “Complete Streets”. The idea calls for adding buffered bike lanes to segments of busy roads such as 9th Avenue N, 16th Street, 54th Avenue and Park Street. St Petersburg city planners assume all 16 corridors could lose a lane of traffic to make way for bike lanes or for diagonal parking, but they won’t know until each project is studied, redesigned and approved. Here is the list of proposed “Complete Streets” in St Petersburg that is staged to be undertaken over the course of the next 2 decades.
- Park Street from Central Avenue to Country Club Road N
- Park Street from Elbow Lane N to the Pinellas Trail
